New Counter Deck that I hope to use at States

[Blastagator]

Counter deck

3 Terrakion
2 Mewtwo EX
3-1-2 Vileplume
2 Victini
3 Virizion
1 Shaymin
2-2 Dodrio
1 Tornadus

4 Prism
2 Fighting
2 Fire
2 Grass
3 DCE

4 Pokemon Collector
3 Rare Candy
4 Cheren
3 Sage's Training
3 N
3 PONT
2 Professor Juniper
2 Seeker
1 FSL

Strategy: Try to start with Virizion and continue to draw. Then set up Vileplume to stop Items. Victini is for Durant, Virizion and Shaymin EX. Terrakion is for anything Electric. Dodrio is to retreat when needed and conserve energy. Shaymin to move energy like in Six Corners. Then Mewtwo EX is for itself.

I'd suggest 2 communications or so to set up vileplume faster.

What should I take out for them then

In trainer lock decks I think 3 draw-supporters are more than enough (I personally usually run just 2 Ns), so drop the Junipers (you'll often have a Vileplume/Dodrio or something you don't want to discard), the PONTs and leave Sage's taking out Cheren (3 cards aren't enough in a trainer lock deck, and you don't need so much drawpower as already said). Pokemon Communication is something you must use to make the deck work: every Vileplume deck which has a Vileplume set-up in turn2 has a double chance to win. No doubts. For the same reason, max out the candies. Give a think to a few Switches, they're great to have an active Virizion as soon as possible. Finally, max out DCEs: you Mewtwo HAS to have the chance to attack as strong as it can.

^Is that a joke? Most decks don't drop below 8-9 draw supporters. Having less than 3 is just crazy.

That's just what I was thinking Pokemonjoe! I don't think that I need 4 candies and 4 communications in this deck when I don't even run Reuniclus. And what the heck about switches?
