Most people will be familiar with this deck, the strategy is milling (decking your opponent). I would really like suggestions.

-8 Pokemon-

1 Rotom UD 20
1 Spiritomb TR 10
1 Mime Jr. CL 47
4 Durant NV 83
1 Cobalion NV 100

-41 T/S/S-

2 Professor Oak's New Theory HGSS 101
3 Pokemon Collector HGSS 97
3 Pokegear 3.0 HGSS 96
1 Switch HGSS 102
4 Twins TR 89
4 Junk Arm TR 87
1 Alph Lithograph TR FOUR
2 Dual Ball CL 78
1 Lost Remover CL 80
3 Professor Juniper BW 101
4 Revive BW 102
3 Pokemon Catcher EP 95
2 Crushing Hammer EP 92

4 Eviolite NV 91
2 Super Rod NV 95

-11 Energy-

1 Rainbow Energy HGSS 104
4 Metal Energy (Special) UD 80
6 Metal Energy CL 95
 
its almost exactly like my deck. My difference is I have a 1-1 Zoroark line in it instead of your Cobalion and Spiritomb.
Its a fun deck to play

And Cobalion does what for this deck?

Late game tech I guess, Ive been reading multiple sites and a few said to throw in a cobalion. To be honest it actually has helped stall my opponent for a bit when i get in a tough spot.
 
Must be MVP Rotom. :D

Anyway, I'd just like to say some suggestions even though I think straight Durant is better (just personal preference). Rescue Energy can let you reuse Cobalion if you need to, so that's definitely an option. I also don't think any deck (but especially this one) should be running anything less than four Pokemon Collector. I'd probably take out a Juniper for one more. Dual Ball could even be upped too for maximum chance of getting all four Durant out T1. Space is always tight in these though. :p

Thanks for the suggestion, the reason I have three collector is how hard they are for me to get before cities this weekend...aside that I could try. How do I make space for dual ball?
 
Ummm, why do you need a rainbow? You can just retreat it with a {M}. Rotom's attack is extremely bad in this deck. Also, if they catcher rotom, they will probably kill it.

Pretty hard to because my build is a little bit more straight and naked. I would probably take out a Super Rod and the Rainbow Energy. I don't see a use for the Energy and I would think one Super Rod is enough. If you face a Durant mirror, it's going to be hard getting one even if you play two (at least, that's what I would think).

:D Awesome, I was thinking maybe instead of a super rod a flower shop lady?
 
This may sound like a dumb question, and if it is, feel free to say so, but why the Spiritomb? Wouldn't that just be putting cards back into your opponent's deck? I was actually considering making a deck like this, but I've never played one, so, like I said, I may be speaking nonsense. :p

You play it when they have less than 6 cards in their hand
