I thought this up at the pre-release I was at. Basically, Entei EX is the center of the deck. Start with Entei and get early burn damage from his first attack + Volcarona's ability. There are plenty of cards to get energy and discard them. After that it's straight 90's and adding to either a benched Reshiram, Entei EX, or Volcarona. Reshiram can be used for the extra damage that Entei EX can't quite put out. Starting with Reshiram could work playing the outrage game until Entei EX is set up with 2-3 energy. Four Switch are put in for rotating between Entei EX and Reshiram, and a few Junk Arm's to retrieve Switches and/or any other Trainers. I feel Entei EX will remain in the active spot for as long as possible, but Volcarona and Reshiram are great techs to have in tight situations. Keeping energies on all benched Pokemon will make opponents refrain from excessive catcher use as everything is lethal in this deck and should be loaded up or close.

Considerations:
-2 N, + Engineer's Adjustments
- 2 ?, + 2 Eviolite
- 2 ?, + 2-3 Plus Power
- 1 Reshiram BLW, +1 Terrakion/Virizion (to counter water types/Terrakion)
Also -5 Fire, + 4 Prism + 1 Fighting/Leaf

What do you think? Any other ideas?
 
I'd suggest having the new blaziken in there... using 1 energy for either 70 or 40 + burn is nice... if you were looking for another bit of shnazyness
 
Well I certainly like Shanzyness, I'll see if I can work him in there somehow. Maybe a 3-1-3, or 2-1-2?
 
Well, if you're trying to keep a consistent burn, i'd try adding Vileplume so they can't just Switch out of it and you can trap things like terrakion.
so....
-1 collector
-4 SSU
-1 PONT
+3-1-2 Vileplume

-3 sages
+3 rare candy

this also gives you rare candy built in, so you could add in the new Blaziken.
 
Rare candies are a must (for either the Blaziken or the Vileplume. I'd suggest 3-1-3

Also, with that many energies and that many cilans, I think...

-1 or 2 cilan

just to free some space.
 
Entei is a really kind of bad Pokemon. I'd just replace it with emboar maybe because it's a better energy accelerator IMO.
 
I'm not saying to replace all of it. I'm just saying emboar would be good as an energy accelerator. And I'd rather only use entei to attack with fire fang because it's second attack isn't really that powerful.

For the t/s/s line try
-1 PONT (3 may be enough)
-3 ssu (only 1 needed. Not that needed really)
-2 switch (only 2 needed)
-2-3 cilan ( not needed. If you are to run emboar then 1 would be good)
-1 sage's (2 is enough)

+1 juniper (good hand refreshment)
+1 N (good disruption and hand refreshment)
And the rest for emboar if you are to add it. Reshiram EXmay help too if you add emboar.
 
Hmm I'm not sure, Emboar is very bulky. If you use the list you have you'll only have two switches to get Emboar out of the active. I like SSU in this just because it can pick up damaged Enteis and deny prizes. But I still think you should take one or two out at least.

Well, if there are energies attached to the damaged enteis and you ssu it up, emboar can fully set it up again in one turn as well as others. I'm just saying that emboar would be a great energy accelerator IMO and could also allow other attackers such as reshiram EX work better in this deck.
 
But Entei can take multiple hits and will be setting up benched Enteis/Reshirams during that time. Emboar is a huge catcher target and if he decides to go with 2 switch like you said, he might run into a problem. You could also run Houndoom Prime to burn XD
 
Yeah, Pluspowers can help KO opponents Dragons with Reshiram as well as Zoroarks with Entei EX. I think you could take out a Switch and a SSU for them possibly.
 
I have a played Reshiboar EX at states and Emboar turned out to be huge catcher bait. Like Mokoko said, Entei is ideally already pumping up benched Pokemon- catcher wouldn't be feared even if Volacrona hit the active spot. I think I'll take some Cilan out like Jirachi mentioned. However, I'm a firm believer in the SSU. Plus Power came across my mind as well so maybe I'll squeeze some in. Something that hadn't really occurred to me was Arcanine... I like him in here. I think what I'll do is try testing then update the thread later on tonight/tomorrow.
