Basic strategy is to take out non-EX's and then drop a Sigilyph endgame. I've experimented with hammers and without, but I think I like them in. A couple of Mewtwos and DCEs would be nice, and maybe even some Plus Powers so I can hit benched Terrakion and then Catcher/KO it, but I'm really not sure what to drop, plus it tends to slow the deck down.

And yes, I like Gold Potion over Computer Search. It's saved me more than one game, and Sableye's recursion of it can be extremely effective.

Deluge is tough. It's all a matter of outspeeding them and hitting blastoise hard and then moving in with Sigi to take care of Keldeo EX. Again, I'd really like Mewtwo with the DCEs, but there's not a lot of room.

EDIT1:
Darkness -2
Sableye -1
Dark Patch -1
Bianca -1

Mewtwo +2
DCE +3
 
You could find plenty of room if you cut back a bit. 10 basic darks really aren't needed with a high dark patch count and sableye. 4 sableye is one too much imo, so maybe this.

-2 basic dark
-1 sableye
-2 bianca
-1 dark patch. 3 is probably enough since you can't patch to half of your pokemon
-1 random reciever. Leave one to skyla/junk hunt for, but I dunno about this card anymore.
-1 N. Personal preferance to make room, ignore if you like.

+2 MewtwoEX
+2 Skyla. Searching out hammers or your gold potion early really helps
+2 Pluspower
+2 DCE

I'd also start considering making room for plasma storm cards, like Hypnotoxic Laser or Colress. (I.E. Replace those pluspowers with hypnotoxic lasers)
 
I think Hypnotoxic Laser is overhyped for the most part (it doesn't fit every deck IMO), but I probably will include a couple instead of the Pluspowers. Virbank would be nice as a Tropical Beach counter too.

Colress I won't be adding. I don't want to have a lot of pokemon on my bench because then they can Catcher around Sigilyph, and that will lose me the game.

Updated for the most part. N is my most powerful tool against Keldeo, I like 4, and dropping 3 draw supporters and a Random Receiver is simply not enough speed, even with the Skyla.
