Standard Mew/Jolteon EX/Glaceon EX/Regice 2017

Hi all, I love the idea of a Mewlock deck for next standard, and am wondering if I could get some help with my list.

Pokemon: 16
4 Mew
3 Jolteon EX
3 Glaceon EX
2 Regice
2-2 Octillery

T/S/S: 30
4 VS Seeker
4 Trainer's Mail
4 Ultra Ball
4 Max Elixir
4 Professor Sycamore
3 Fighting Fury Belt
2 Float Stone
2 N
2 Lysandre
1 Super Rod

Energy: 14
5 Water
5 Electric
4 DCE


Strategy:

Ideally start with Mew and by turn two have a bench with Jolteon, Glaceon and Regice and be attacking. Of course, those three can hold their own if need be, but the locking flexibility of Mew is key.
 
I played this deck when Mew was released and thought it would be pretty cool to run the "mew toolbox lock deck" as it is extremely good at locking pokemon whether it be basic pokemon, Ex pokemon, or any evolved pokemon. I must say that I have played this deck at a local tournament and lost pretty convincingly to a greninja deck because it does not matter about the attack, but the ability. The ability is what ultimately killed me, and can be a very iffy matchup if you plan on going against it. I would consider running 1-2 hex maniac as it is a potential threat against the deck and dropping a trainer for them.

Like that you are using Octillery to get consistency instead of a temporary boost Shaymin, doing the same in my deck. Anyways, on to the deck, in my opinion it would be good to add in a Hoopa EX to get your bench loaded very quickly with Glaceon and Jolteon.
 
Seems like a well constructed list but you have one glaring weakness that I don't think has been addressed yet, Garbodor. Shuts off your Mews and your Octillery which can leave you in a really bad spot early on if you can't get the right type of lock back on. You do play 2 Lysandre which I think is really smart but you lack an attacker that can one shot the Garbodor, especially with Mew offline. I would find a way to include something that can at least hit for 100. Otherwise, you will be stuck trying to Lysandre a single Garbodor twice in order to get your Mews and Octillery back in action.

A 2-2 or 1-1 Evo line is not more consistent than a basic. I understand what you are trying to say but Shaymin should not be considered just a temporary boost. It is used because of its immediate impact to gain momentum. In my opinion this deck could go either way, not every deck has that option.

And if you're considering Hoopa then you should know that there is much more synergy with Hoopa and Shaymin than with Octillery.

Consistent as in is there when you need drawing power while Shaymin will only offer drawing support when it is played from your hand to bench.

If you decide to take out Mew (just in case you do), add in a few Silent Lab, to slow down decks which use basic abilities, even decks which have 1 or 2 Shaymins.
 
I am toying with a deck similar to this and yes, ranger chaining is a thing but you have to get it! And having compressor out of the format really depletes your chances of getting it when you need it. I think if you want to make this competitive you need Shaymins, a non EX attacker line, and some luck. I think it can be done and done effectively, but a more experienced player I think can play around it.

I think everyone is terrified of ranger and garb/hex but the fact of it is, people have to play it! Right now ranger and hex are an either or 1 of in decks. If they don't get it at the right time and still have the resources to vs for it back and play it then you need to respond with a plan b strategy. Rant over.
 
I run a similar build, the deck can't run on octillery unfortunately, it's way too slow I can only get it to work with shaymin, you may also want to consider Umbreon to quickly beat M Ray

recommendations
-2-2 Octillery
-2 Float Stone
-2 Water
-2 Electric
+4 Rainbow Energy (Mew)
+1 Hoopa EX
+2 Ninja Boy
+1 Ranger

It's not as strong since the release of pokemon ranger

even if it's weakened by pokemon ranger i don't see much of a problem with that. Personally, i think Pokémon ranger will be usedf as a 1 or 2 off staple in most decks. I also suggest protecting your bench somehow, i found that it's easy to win against mew box by sniping. Just to say

Mr.mime?
 
I don't think this deck is as strong as it used to be unfortunately. Ranger can instantly counter something like this and because of this I have a problem with it
