Pokémon: 12
Use Archie's ace in the hole to set up a swampert or an empoleon (empoleon is more important, but getting swampert first can guarantee future archies). Use miltank to weaken your opponents, and kill them with articuno to take the extra prize card. Because of empoleon's ability, hitting for 80 damage minimum with articuno is possible, and with 3 heads you can do up to 200 damage (before weakness and resistance).
I've found that this deck does very well against EX heavy decks because you can take a third prize card. It also does well against night march and other fast decks (if you can get hit enough max elixers to set up articuno quickly). This is because you can take an easy lead with the extra prize draw so trading prize cards is not a problem.
Hex maniac can mess up first turn Archies on occasion, but it wins more games than it loses. Without it, this deck loses 100% of its matchups against greninja and pyroar decks.
This deck seems to lose to Item lock for obvious reasons.
