Heatmor Deck

This is my heatmor deck. Im thinking of taking out the hypnotoxic laser and virbank city gym to give me 45 fire energy. This deck I all about getting 3 energy's on heatmor to do firey lick witch has the possibility to do 50 damage for each fire energy you draw. You draw 4 cards when using this attack.

Pokemon - 8
  • Heatmor - 4
  • Victini EX - 2
  • Entei EX - 2
Trainers/Supporters/Stadium - 13
  • Ultra Ball - 3
  • Skyla - 2
  • Hypnotoxic Laser - 4
  • Virbank City Gym - 2
  • Victory Piece - 1
  • Random Receiver - 1
Energy - 39
  • Fire Energy - 39

Edited to coincide with the rules! Please remember to add in a stratagem for those who don't understand what this deck is or how it plays. Thanks! :D ~Kecleon
 
YEAH HEATMOR. I just have a couple of suggestions:
- 1 Entei ex (or maybe just one is all you need, but you probably want a emolga or level balls)
- 2 skyla (Most of these are because you need more fire. 39 isn't enough)
- 4 laser/ virbank (You are focusing on OHKO's)
- 1 Random receiver (see skyla reasoning)
+ 1 Emolga (grabs heatmors)
+ 3 fire (you need more to get those OHKO's)
+ 4 Ether (more energy acceleration)
 
At first I was like
WTF Heatmor
Then I looked at the card
and was like
WTF Heatmor

Okay.
+1 Victini: You really need to start with it, otherwise you can't accelerate fast enough.

You need to realize that you DISCARD the fire energies, not draw them. There's a slight difference. You also need to realize that you will mulligan pretty hard with this deck, giving your opponents an easy setup. If this deck can't T2 200 damage, there's no point.
 
^^^So? This is like, the best deck ever. I first VS'ed it on playTCG. I mean, I wrecked it to dust with Trevegor, but y'know, deck ideas all the way yo. If this won a states i would've cried in happiness.
I like your list, but I think the other version of this deck (the one like speed rayquaza) is more fun.... Here is my list:

4 Heatmor

4 Ether

52 Energies

Pretty diverse huh? I am an amazing deckbuilder. No question.
 
So, taking into account all suggestions, this deck would look something like:

4 Heatmor
1 Entei EX
3 Victini
1 Emolga

3 Level Ball (you could level for Emolga then Emolga for others)
1 Skyla (for Victory Piece?)
1 Victory Piece
4 Ether

42 Fire Energy

Something like that.
 
I would honestly take out the Entei and Emolga for two more Skyla. Skyla is key in this deck, for it searches for Level Balls, Super Rods, what have you. I actually have a Heatmor deck that runs fourty-five energy, and yet I have run into numerous problems with the clumping of trainers, so you might want to try to bump up that energy line a bit more. Or maybe even run Silver Bangle so you don't absolutely have to hit that fourth Energy every time.
 
I looked at this list and immediately said, "Woah woah woah, WHAT!?!?! 39 ENERGY!?!??!?" But then I actually checked out the Heatmor. It actually seems to be pretty solid. I would suggest maybe trying to squeeze in a couple of Lysandre when the new set hits in May. Lysandre is basically just Pokemon Catcher before it got errata'd. Since this deck runs low supporter counts, Lysandre would be a good inclusion since you don't really plan on playing Supporter cards as often as possible. Since you don't have any Juniper or Sycamore to get you out of tough spots I feel that, with this deck, Lysandre would be the optimal choice to drag out, say, an Yveltal EX or Xerneas EX or Snorlax or whatever you need to in order to get a quick knockout on an unsuspecting target that didn't even see the Lysandre play coming. Hope this helps! Let me know how you do at states!
