Doublade Primal Clash

[Hanshino]

I've been looking at the new Primal Clash pack lists, and I've been thinking about making a deck around Doublade's False Swipe. Its a flip attack, if heads put damage counters on the active pokemon until they have 10 hp left. What do you guys think? I think a few lysandres that help switch their active and another pokemon that can spread damage across their bench to finish up would be an awesome strategy. I'm a bit new to pokemon tcg so im wondering what you guys would do with this Doublade?

Personally, if you like that strategy, I'd go with MewEX/Raticate, which allows you to avoid flips, and you still attack for a DCE.

However, if you're determined to go w/ Doublade, I'd recommend running a heavy Laser/Triad count, allowing you to KO a pokemon every turn if you're lucky, Victini/Trick Coin to help swing flips in your favor, and Chandelure-EX allowing you to finish off multiple Pokemon that may have retreated after your flip.
