EDIT: hurr durr forgot the Pokemon names in the title, Rayquaza EX/Victini EX

This is my first attempt at a 'casual' deck. Ever since I got Rayquaza EX through a PTCGO pack, I really wanted to create a RL casual deck around it. I read the deck building guide, and did my best creating the deck/why I put these cards together.

**The only issues I'm having with the deck are what trainers to use/not use, how many of each trainer/s, and how many energies (based off how many trainers there are) to use.**

Pokemon: 17
  • 3 Rayquaza EX – Dragon Burst x60 every energy discarded.
  • 2 Victini EX – Turbo Energize - Search deck for Fire Energy, attach them to benched (Rayquaza EX) Pokemon.
  • 2 Keldeo EX - Rush In
Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums: TBA
  • ? Cilan
  • ? Professor's Letter
  • 4 Superior Energy Retrieval
  • 4 Ultra Ball
  • ? Skyla
  • 3 Juniper OR Sycamore
  • 2 Super Potion
  • 2 Pokemon Catcher
  • ? N
  • ? Muscle Band
Energy
  • ? Fire Energy
  • ? Electric Energy

Basically the strategy is (if there even is one... ha) beef up Rayquaza EX with Fire energies with Victini EX. I'd probably keep one (or two just in case) electric energy on Rayquaza EX use the fire energies from Victini to discard and get his attack x60. Keldeo EX is mainly there because I really like Keldeo's Rush In ability. If for some reason I need to take my active out, I'd rather have Keldeo Rush In, as opposed to retreating.

Now typing this out, I feel like I have too many Pokemon? Or multiples of some of them. I'm not sure. Maybe it's because I've never tried to build an 'actual' deck before. My main issue is the numbers w/trainers and energies.

Please let me know what you think, feel free to completely change it/give suggestions, I'm open to anything!

Edited to coincide with the rules! Remember to add the missing numbers! :D ~Kecleon
 
i recommend just scrapping DCE and Eelektross from the equation. Plasma Eelektross may seem good for 30x number discarded energies. but why would you put energies on it when you can put it on a rayquaza ex and do more significant damage? You'd have to discard 6 Energies to do 180 compared to Rayquaza EX only need to discard 3. Plus its a stage 2 making it that much more difficult to put out. Eelektross is just not a viable option when you look at whats required and the little output that it produces

Thanks for the suggestion, those are some really good points. I'll edit the list!
