    2 Keldeo EX (Black & White Promo)
    3 Squirtle (Boundaries Crossed)
    1 Wartortle (Boundaries Crossed)
    3 Blastoise (Plasma Blast)
    2 Suicune (Plasma Blast)
Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums: 34

  • 4 Skyla
    2 N
    2 Colress
    2 Shauna
    2 Professor Juniper
    2 Lysandre
    2 Pokemon Fan Club
    1 Computer Search
    1 Startling Megaphone
    2 Rare Candy
    3 Professors Letter
    4 Ultra Ball
    4 Super Energy Retrieval
    1 Pal Pad
    2 Float Stone
Energy: 14

  • 12 Water Energy
    2 Double Colorless Energy

Strategy:

The main strategy is to feed energy cards into Mewtwo EX and Keldeo EX.

My first goal is try to get a Blastoise into play as quickly as possible. I have rare candy a to skip over Wartortle, getting to Blastoise in two turns instead of three. I have one Wartortle incase I'm unable to use item cards.

Suicune is in there to battle any EXs while I get a Mewtwo EX or Keldeo EX with enough energy attached to it.


I haven't played Pokemon TCG since the early 2000's so I'm looking for advice on the new style of play. Thanks for the help in advance.
 
RE: Mewtwo/Blastoise

-2 Professor's Letter
You should be able to draw into your energy fairly easily
-1 Evosoda
You said wartortle is for when you can't play items, evosoda is an item.
-2 Energy Switch
These are unnecessary
-2 Switch
Kelstone (keldeo EX with Float Stone) works better in this deck. Plus Keldeo EX is a great attacker in this deck.
+2 N
+1-3 Professor Sycamore
Need more drawouts
+3 Superior Energy Retrieval
Get yer energy back
+2 Ultra Ball
Get yer Pokemon out
+1 Keldeo EX
+3 Float Stone
Rush in, then retreat to whatever you want every turn.
-1 Blastoise
-1 Squirtle
-1 Max Potion
-1 Pokemon Fan Club
-1 Muscle Band
-1 Water
Don't get me wrong these are great cards, but the card limit is 60.
 
RE: Mewtwo/Blastoise

You should consider playing Black Kyurem EX as an attacker in this deck. Four Energy and you are able to OHKO almost anything in format. And with Superior Energy Retrieval, you are able to stream Black Ballistas easily. Both Black Kyurem and Keldeo outclass Mewtwo in this deck. You should also take some of the advise above, especially about playing more draw cards. Just playing +4 Professor Juniper / Sycamore will speed your deck up a ton.
 
RE: Mewtwo/Blastoise

@MaD_DoG - Thanks for all the input. Exactly the kind of help I was looking for.

@Mora - Thanks for the input as well.

I edited my list a bit. Let me know what you think.
 
RE: Mewtwo/Blastoise

I think bronzing would be faster due to no muscle band and reducing the deck size from rare candy and SER for making the deck have utility cards that offer better options against various matchups, just my opinion.

If you stick with this deck this is what I'm thinking, 4 Skyla and 1 battle compressor would help with turn 1 better then 10 energy and 2 profs letter, it takes strain off of turn 1 to 2 Skyla for both profs letter and ultra ball. heres a skeleton of the T/S/S engine/list I got from a friend who won states last year in my area.

2 N
3 colress
4 juniper
4 Skyla
4 rare candy
1 dowsing
2 profs letter
4 ultra ball
4 SER
2 ER
2 pokemon catcher

8 water energy
2 electric energy

I tried this engine, it's ridiculously good regardless of the low amount of energy in the deck
 
RE: Mewtwo/Blastoise

Whatever you decide on with this deck, make sure you at least have 4 Skyla because it's extremely helpful in Blastoise. Skyla helps set up Blastoise quicker and also prevents you from running out of steam after a Black Ballista, because you can just search for a Superior Energy Retrieval.
 
RE: Mewtwo/Blastoise

@Yo-yos - Thanks for the info but I'm a little confused. Could you explain this a little more.

@Carpey - Thanks! Are you suggesting I run a Blastoise and Black Kyurem? Because I kind of liked the Pokemon list I have now. I'm open to suggestions though.
 
Everything is good, but you need more attackers (Suicune doesn't count). 1 Mewtwo EX and 1 Keldeo EX will not be sufficient to take six prizes with. Try to experiment putting more Keldeo EX and More Mewtwo EX and play with the numbers until you settle on something that suites you.
 
@MaD_DoG - I added another Mewtwo EX. I'm not sure if that's enough attack power. I'm going to try to use a simulator to test this deck.

I also edited the list a little bit. Any other suggestions?
