Strategy

The deck is similar to the "Big Tex" deck that recently won a regionals. The deck consisted of Terrakion EX, Victini EX, and Drifblim. This deck attempts to beat everything through the consistent use of Terrakion EX with a Garbodor lock.. The one BAD matchup Terrakion/Garbodor has is Genesect/Virizion. This deck attempts to make up for that by including Victini and Reshiram.

Let me know what you think and any improvements that I can make.
 
Now that the new rules are in effect, do you plan on keeping the Pokémon Catchers? Most players I know have replaced all of theirs. I've too replaced all of the Catchers in my deck, for I do not want to rely upon a 50-50 opportunity of using that card. so, you could replace those 3 slots with Bangles, Ht Lasers, Balls, and/or another Switch/Escape Rope.

Would you consider adding 1 LT Cobalion (Energy Press) as a counter to Kyurem (PF)? As a Team Plasma deck player, I'd first attack with Kyurem till you KO it (your active VEX would be easily KOd, especially if I went second), and spread enough damage around to KO any of your TEX later. A Cobalion can counter these Kyurem.
 
Bangles only give the damage boost to non EX and he only has one not counting the Garbodor which you should NEVER be attacking with.

I do like the idea of Cobalion, and I think you should have at least two and possibly Energy Switch to have it come out of no where. If you do, I would consider replacing the Fire with Prisms. In fact, I would consider it anyway if you're not too concerned about Hammers/Driftblim/stuff.

I also wouldn't worry about Genesect as much. Victini IS your counter. If you go second, you can pretty much donk their entire deck. Just apply early pressure and use Victini more offensively.
 
The problem that I see with Cobalion and Prism energy is that it cannot be accelerated with Victini EX or Terrakion EX. If I were to switch the three fires for Prism, it would only take one Enhanced Hammer and an attachment to Victini to render the Cobalion basically useless.

I do like the catchers in the deck. While they only give a 50/50 shot, they can be very clutch in stealing prizes. I would also be out of my mind to play down a Victini EX in the plasma matchup.

I am considering dropping the Reshiram for another attacker... perhaps a Terrakion or a Tornadus LTR.
