The Octagon/8 Corners EX

[RZPDisciple]

I built this deck in ten min for my sister so it may not be the best, any input is appriciated

pokemon 13:
1 terrakion EP (counters magnezone, zekrom/zekrom EX)
1 kyurem EX ND (counters reshiram/reshiram EX/emboar)
2 cobalion EP (counters kyurem/kyurem EX)
2 mewtwo EX ND (counters mewtwo EX or anything with high energy)
2 zekrom BW (counters tornadus with outrage after 1 bolt strike or being hit)
1 victini NV (counters cobalion/durant/shaymin EX if you live through it)
1 regigigas EX ND (counters RDL and is a solid attacker/tank)
1 shaymin EX ND (if the opponent has taken 5 prizes it OHKOs anything in format)
1 shaymin UL (helps move energy to a new attacker)
1 cleffa CoL (helps with dead hands and stalls with sleep)

I/S/S 36:
4 collector
4 pont
2 juniper
3 seeker
2 N

4 eviolite
3 catcher
4 junk arm
3 switch
4 plus power
1 super rod
2 revive

Energy 14:
4 rainbow {C}{G}{W}{L}{M}{P}{R}{F}{D}
4 prism {C}{G}{W}{L}{M}{P}{R}{F}{D}
4 DCE {C}{C}
2 fighting {F}


STRATEGY:
Use type coverage to counter anything they use as explained in list.

Usually in Six Corner decks, you would use virizion to set up and to be a starter. This isn't exactly like Six Corners, so I do not really know. Is this deck supposed to be a bit like Six Corners?

---

I wouldn't use Zekrom because it required you to discard energy, and I would replace it with regular zekrom, just one. With reshiram EX, I would replace it with Victini since this deck uses the opponents weakness, so 120 will be sufficient since it will be 240 to the metal types. Plus power is usually not needed either since it uses weaknesses to OHKO the opponent's pokemon.

The first problem I see with this deck is you have 9 pokemon EX. To win, your opponent only has to KO 3. IMO, you'll never really need more than 1 of a certain pokemon EX (with the exeption of Mewtwo). You can replace the seconds of EXs with revives or more super rod.

Second, you never need 3 Terrakion. You have 3, so you'll be starting with that brick a lot. It is just a horrible starter, and will rarely be used more than twice. You could definately cut one for a draw supporter or something like that.

Third, you need tons of resources, but only have 6 shuffle/draw supporters. IMO, the minimum of draw supporters is 8. This mathimatically almost gaurentees you will have one in your opening hand. I would suggest that you put in Ns since they can act as a wild card and can really turn the game around.

Lastly, you could also use some seeker. You are already running 3 switch and this can really help heal your EXs. I would recomend cutting SSU for these since it is flippy and you don't want to waste a junk arm on it. Since you are running SSU/Seeker, I would also advise you put in a second Shaymin UL. This is an amazing card and can get you out of so many bad situations. Yes, you can get it back with Seeker and SSU, but you can't search those out with collector, can you.

So:
-1 Terrakion
-1 Reshiram EX
-1 Regigigas EX
-1 Kyurem EX
-3 SSU
+2 Revive
+3 Seeker
+2 N

Hope I helped

what if the one you need is prized...

It isn't hard to take a few prizes with other pokemon. You could also play a second copy of the pokemon you use the most. You never really need a pokemon that desperately.

Lost Remover says hi.

With the lack of Energy Accel and the majority of your deck running on special energy, your're going to have huge problems with it.
