White Kyurem/Altaria

[NunoLFC]

I've been trying to find a way to use White Kyurem EX to its full potential and after some research I decided to give it a try at the combination with Altaria which I saw around this same forum somewhere a few weeks ago. The deck is being surprisingly good against the "typical" decks like the Eels, Keldeo and Darkrai. The main problem is its speed but it's not easy to find a way to accelerate outside of the future Victini EX or Emboar that doesn't have space here anyway.

Druddigon vs. White Kyurem (non-EX) is another problem but I think I prefer Druddigon.

Pokémon:

4 White Kyurem EX
2 Druddigon (Dragon Vault)
4 Swablu (Dragons Exalted)
4 Altaria (Fight Song)
1 Victini (Victory Star)

Trainers - Items:

4 Level Ball
3 Switch
3 Pokémon Catcher
2 Ultra Ball
2 Energy Retrieval

Trainers - Supporters

2 Bianca
3 Cheren
2 N
2 Prof. Juniper
3 Skyla

Trainers - Tools

1 Crystal Edge

Energies:

10 {R}
5 {W}
3 {C}{C}

The strategy is simple. Quickly set up Altarias while White Kyurem EX attacks. If I get the DC energy, White Kyurem starts moving in the 2nd turn, which is usually enough to get at least one Altaria and possibly Crystal Edge, which means 130 damage in the 2nd turn (enough to KO a lot of things). The idea is to explore Dragon Stream and avoid using Ice Burn too much to avoid discarding energies. Druddigon goes extremely well in this deck as the Altaria and Victini support guarantee a lot of damage and a nice chance of paralysis with only one DC.

Other options include Energy Switch (in cases when White Kyurem EX has too many due to Dragon Stream, it may be useful to power up a second one in the bench) and non-EX White Kyurem that also has good synergy with Victini and Altaria.

What could I use to improve the deck?

Hmm well I think you have to cut back a few energies. I'd change your supporter line a little bit too you need more N's and maybe another Victini or something.

so I'd say.

-3 {R}
-1 {W}
-1 Cheren
-1 skyla

+2 N
+2 Recycle
+1 Super Rod
+1 Victini Victory star

there might be better options than recycle but at least it would help you get back your crystal edge/ DCE if you need them. Super rod will help you get back energies as well as attackers or most likely Altarias who are pretty big catcher bait. if need be i'd maybe even take out both energy retrievals for a 2nd super rod and something else if you really need the space.
a 2nd Victini would be good as well since he's so fragile mind you he's not a huge part of the strategy either aside from being used with druddigon.

Thanks, I'll try taking only the energies and add 1 more N, 1 Recycle and 1 Super Rod and see how it goes. Maybe I'll get a 4th N too. There is no need for a 2nd Victini as it's not essential and Level Ball gets it anytime unless it's prized.
