okay, so, before everyone starts bashing i understand that this deck as a concept isnt the greatest to begin with. im not trying to take any titles or plot world domination with it, its just for fun. there are no babies because i realize once catcher is released babies are just easy prizes. also mandibuzz probably wont really be good until kyurem or whatever comes out either. this is just for now.

ideally it would go

T1 put out zekrom to wall/ wait for DCE and throw back whatever damage it has accumulated with outrage, collecter and get 2 vullabies and a larvitar. if no DCE get the darks on larvitar. if you start with a vullaby or larvitar throw vullaby out since there are only 2 tars.

T2 evolve what you can. if possible PONT or Communicate your way to a pupitar or canty& TTar.

T3 darkness howl what you can, special dark adds another 10 to active
let mandibuzz swarm clean up the rest.

ive played this a few times and what i have come up with is i probably could use a few more dce and a few less regular energy. the pokeballs are in instead of dual balls so if i get heads i can pull a ttar. if tails just junk arm it. i have noticed i dont really have any sort of draw power, it lacks enough basics, i end up mulliganing like 30 percent of the time. theres a reallly weak late game and if ttar isnt out fast enough mandibuzz cant really attack.

reversal will in time become catcher so i can bring up a high retreater or something that needs a a turn or two to get set up so i am a turn closer to howling

id like to tech in something that can snipe like a 2-2 yanmega BUT that would require probably 3 judge 3 copycat or whatever to be consistent, requiring me to completely configure my tss portion. i wouldnt know what to take out.

ideas?
 
Since this is for fun, I wouldn't remove the Zekrom since it was a part of your strategy. I will, however, change up your energy line to:
4 sp dark
4 DCE
6 dark

This way you won't have too much dark energy, but you will have enough to attack. 4 DCE is to ensure you get it when you need it for zekrom and to use in special situations with tyranitar prime.

With the extra 6 spaces I would add in:
2-2 yanmega (you said you wanted it in)
2 judge (for yanmega)

I would also take out:
2 pokeball (too flippy and you also have 4 pokemon communication, junk arm to reuse them, 3 collector and PETM)
1 switch (2 is enough, you don't want to start with it, and you can reuse them with junk arm)

With the extra 3 cards i would add in:
3 copycat (for yanmega)

I would try to find room for at least 1 flower shop lady, but let me know how your deck works with these changes!
 
its odd because even with the current energy count i run out of energy fast. i dont even use megaton tail that often but il still try it. i guess its also weird because i run 4 energy search in my typhlosion/reshiram and zps decks and neither of those decks have any sort of energy shortage.but ill try it, thanks!
