Standard Volcanic Panic (Camerupt EX / Camerupt)

Hey guys. I was wondering if I could get some input on one of the new ideas I have been working with.

Pokemon: 12
  • 3 Camerupt EX
  • 3-3 Team Magma Camerupt
  • 1 Jirachi EX
  • 2 Reshiram
Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums: 35
  • 1 Escape Rope
  • 3 Battle Compressor
  • 1 Computer Search
  • 2 Energy Switch
  • 1 Evosoda
  • 1 Startling Megaphone
  • 2 Switch
  • 3 Ultra Ball
  • 3 VS Seeker
  • 2 Muscle Band
  • 2 Scorched Earth
  • 3 Blacksmith
  • 1 Colress
  • 1 Lysandre
  • 2 N
  • 2 Pokemon Fan Club
  • 4 Professor Sycamore
Energy: 13
  • 4 DCE
  • 9 Fire Energy
Strategy:

The main strategy of the deck is to use the compressors to put fire energy in the discard. Get a double colorless on the camerupt-ex and then use blacksmith to get the addition 2 fire energy needed to explosive jet. The team magma's camerupt on the bench will mostly be used to cycle fire energy to power up explosive jet.

Some side notes:
I started with a 4-4 team magma camerupt line, but found that instead I could use 3 and put in a pokemon fan club. This basically allows me to even use jirachi to get the fan club if I have another draw supporter in hand. I also opted for only 3 compressors because I generally am able to find them when I need them and the 4th was often just a wasted card, especially late game when I am trying not to deck out.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
 
Looks good. I would probably try to find a way to get up to 4 energy switches though, and maybe a Skyla or two to go along with it. This will be helpful with Magma Camerupt so he wouldn't have to be in play very often to switch the energies.
 
I could make these changes:
-1 startling megaphone
-1 escape rope
+1 energy switch
+1 skyla

What else do you think I could take out for the other energy switch?

Well, this deck seems quite tight. I would just try with the 3 and see how that works out.
 
My flatmate has been theory crafting a Camerupt/Dragon deck using Double Dragon Energy to discard as two fire energy. Not too sure what you would take out for it, but I personally am not a fan of using Blacksmith as your supporter for the turn (I don't think it is that great), and especially the same for Fanclub, I get that it is reliable, it is just so weak in my opinion. You have decent draw power with the stadium, but that is about it other than supporters which you have few of for draw (4-2 Prof./N).
I just worry you lack draw and search power for consistent set up.
 
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Explosive Jet only does 50 damage for each Energy card discarded.

Wasn't my idea, but you can discard the energy from any of your Pokemon, including a double dragon energy attatched to one of your Dragon pokemon, however you are right about the energy cards, which is weird, but yea, kinda kills that plan anyway
 
I will be taking this deck to a local tournament on June 28. I will post the results on here.
 
I have played a few just for fun games with this deck and my record so far is 7-1. The deck is looking quite good.
