So, plasma freeze is coming! Assuming the new set will have the cards in thunder knuckle/spiral force, what do you expect to be meta-game?

Well first we have the obvious Thundurus and Deoxys EX, which is going to BE the metagame in its time period.
The other thing I like is FLOAT STONE which is an AMAZING all-purpose card. Garbodor abuses it, Eels can use it fairly well, Plasmas can use it well, and anything can put it with Keldeo in the deck for infinite Switches. I love it.

I don't know about Thundurus, and Doexys being THE meta. They have some pretty nasty counters (Mewtwo isn't nice to them, nor is another Thundurus) but I do see a lot of potential with Weavile, ultra Ball, Ho-Oh, and execute. these guys together could make some massive damage with Dark Patch + Ho-Oh for energy accel.

Not many Pokemon will make metagame except...
Deoxys EX (paired with Lugia, Thundorus, Tornadus)
Thundorus EX and Tornadus EX (just some Tier 3 deck)
Latias EX might become a good deck paired with Altaria to completely defeat Keldeo, Darkarai, and Lugia
Vanilluxe MAYBE (with Blastoise and fliptini)

EDIT: Just saw post in front of me, and noticed that the Weavile and Execute will work amazingly together! That will be neat.

Weavile is fun. With Ultra Ball, CPU Search, Level Ball, Juniper, etc. Its pretty easy to get those exeggcute and once you discard them, you are hitting for 120 every turn. The most difficult part is to stop Weavile from getting KO all the time.

Vanilluxe won't get anywhere. DarMAXitan is a stage 1 and hits almost as well, plus its first attack its a free Copycat (or was it PONT?)

Mewtwo does nothing to Thundurus/Deoxys. Deoxys counters Mewtwo harder than Mewtwo counters it, and Thundurus is only going to be attacking for 1 energy. IMO, Mewtwo is going to take a steep dive if Thundurus/Deoxys (with Kyurem, Lugia, and Snorlax of course) becomes a big part of the metagame. We'll just have to wait and see what people play.
 
I think the new Tornadus could be good. I thought it was bad at first, but the shuffle and draw attack could help you set up faster. The attack isn't bad either. With the plasma engine, you could easily be doing 120.
 
Exeggcute + Weavile looks pretty fun, but I can see tons of donks happening when you start with just Exeggcute. Also Weavile's low HP can be annoying, but it can be searched by Level Ball, which is kind of nice. Not sure what you could pair it with, though, Ho-Oh seems better off without it.
 
I like the Weavile/Exeggcute idea and have been trying to work out an engine where Metagross is used and the aim is to KO an EX every turn. The deck's extremely tight on space though...
 
Frozen City for the stadium for Plasma Decks. I am srs. Also, Kyurem PFR /Dusknoir BCR to allow easy KOs. :3

DO LIEK.

tool scrapper basically kills the idea of life essence.

I know. But lets face it, Tool Scrapper is a 61st card in most decks. It is almost always the first card I cut, because I figure I'll just eat the Victory Piece or Eviolite.
 
I actually keep the Tool Scrapper. Because it's the "61st" for most people, some people raise their eyebrows at me when I Skyla for one.
 
Well if you can find room for it, by all means keep the Tool Scrapper. Just because I got rid of it doesn't mean you have to.
 
Watch the hell out for Deoxys EX/Lugia EX along with new Plasma Trainer cards to boost consistency and recovery!! I think Hammers will get stronger to try and counter it...

Definetly changing my hammer line in Articuno Garbodor to 3-2 instead of 4-1 when PFR comes out.
