My take on trainer lock (Mismagius, Drifblim)(Cities, Masters)

Team Rose

Pokemon 28:

3 Spiritomb (Ar)
4-4 Mismagius (3UD, 1UL)
4-4 Drifblim (3UD, 1SF)
2-1-2 Vileplume (UD)
1-1 Dodrio (UD)
1-1 Mewtwo LvX (Basic MD)

T/S/S 20:

4 Rare Candy
4 Bebe's Search
3 PONT
2 Copycat
2 Twins
3 Interviewer's Questions
2 Pokemon Collector

Energy 12:

8{P}
4{C}{C}

The basic strategy is the same as all other trainer lock decks. I chose Mismagius so I can swarm with them (it has "poltergeist" too) and I can get them out quick, and the UL one allows me to move my {P} energy around to power stuff up quicker (mid game). Drifblim to "take away" my opponents powered up pokes, and with trainer lock that hurts, plus it can attack. I have the SF Drifblim to get more basics out with a {P} energy too (which Mismagius UL can move). Mewtwo to tech SPs. Dodrio for free retreat (moderate priority). Rare candy if I don't lead with Spiritomb to get Vileplume out fast (Bebe's fodder otherwise).

It seems like I've got alot going on but every card has been very useful at some point in all the league matches I've had (we are all preparing for cities). I would like some feedback. Thanks ahead of time.
 
-1-1 Mewtwo Lv.X (Vileplume/Spiritomb already counters SP enough)
-4 Rare Candy (Trainer lock)

+1 Gloom (Complete the Vileplume line to a 2-2-2)
+1 Spiritomb (Consistent to max out your starter)
+2 Uxie LA (Drawpower)
+2 Broken Time-Space (Faster evolution without Candy)
 
@Ludicolo909: I've tried a 1-1-1 line for Vileplume when I first made this deck and have found that this deck has a very hard time if one of the Vileplume cards are prized, so I added a rare candy line.

@Gliscor: I do believe I can do without Mewtwo LvX but I only use the rare candies if I don't get to lead with Spiritomb to get Vileplume out asap. And as for Uxie, I usually fill the bench really quickly so I think Uxie would get in the way. I've got PONT and Copycat for draw power plus Drifblim SF to get basics and energies. I do believe BTS would help get pokes out quick mid to late game, thanks for that suggestion. I'm also considering shaving off 1 rare candy for another Spiritomb.
