Eels/Zekrom

[Azurial]

I've been testing this deck for only a couple of weeks having given up on mewtwo. I feel like I can do better than I have been, with a 9-5 record in tests so far. This is in the mirror, 7-3 against CMT, and 10-0 against Durant.

---------------------------
Eelektrom
---------------------------
2-2 Zebstrika ND
2 Zekrom BW
2 Zekrom EX
2 Mewtwo EX
1 Terrakion NV
1 Thundurus NV
4-3 Eelektrik NV
1 Zapdos ND

4 Juniper
3 Oak
4 Collector
2 Level Ball
4 Junk Arm
3 Switch
4 Catcher
3 Sages

10 Lightning
2 Prism
4 DCE

as far as strategy, this is the same basic list as a standard Zekrom/Eel deck, with Zebstikas for the Durant matches, Zapdos for sniping, and Terrakion for the mirror. Thundurus is there for energy search pretty much - i dont expect to actually do any damage with it.

any way I can up consistancy? what would you do differently?

Why wouldn't you attack with thundurus amazing beginning attacker

I just don't expect it to be a starter for me - only having the one.

Free retreat Tynamo start + Collector + Lightning Energy in your starter hand. That means you should get Thundurus. Sorry to disapoint you, but I think you need atleast 12 Draw Supporters, so it is consistent, I'd even run some Pokégears, so you always have a Supporter in your hand. I'm not a fan of Zebstrika; Durant is easy with BW Zekrom. Zebstrika should be used only if you up it to 3-3 and focus on starting with it. Zapdos isn't very important. I would take it out for something else. Also, another Level Ball would be good. 1 or 2 N could be good to make some nice comebacks vs CMT or mirror.

So, in summary:

Take out:
2-2 Zebstrika
1 Zapdos
Total= 5

Add:
2 Pokégear
2 N
1 Level Ball (or any tech Pokémon.
Total = 5

That's my opinion.
