I'm looking for suggestions on my current deck to make it better. I'm also looking for suggestions or opinions on any strong Fairy deck. (I've seen a few okay ones, but no Fairy decks seem to keep up with modern Fighting or Psychic decks...)

Pokemon (14):
Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums (31):
  • 3 Professor's Letter
  • 2 VS Seeker
  • 2 Level Ball
  • 1 Super Rod
  • 1 Switch
  • 1 Ultra Ball
  • 1 Professor Birch's Observations
  • 1 AZ
  • 2 Judge
  • 2 Pokemon Fan Club
  • 1 Lysandre
  • 3 Giovanni's Scheme
  • 1 Skyla
  • 1 Pokemon Center Lady
  • 4 Fairy Garden
  • 4 Muscle Band
Energy (15):
  • 4 Double Colorless Energy
  • 11 Fairy Energy
Strategy:

The idea is to get 2x Xerneas EX ready and switch between them at will using Fairy Garden and Aromatisse to repeatedly use X-Blast, preferrably with Muscle Band and perhaps a Giovanni's Scheme where needed to OHKO up to 180HP.

Try focusing more on KO denial than OHKO's. You won't be able to really get reliable OHKOs from Xerneas EX. I personally don't like Giovanni. With Xerneas you don't need many prof letter. You also need more search cards to get Pokemon out, especially since you have almost no draw support. Try this:
-4 Fairy Energy
-2 Professor Letter
-3 Giovanni
- 4 Muscle Band

+3 Ultra Ball
+2 VS Seeker
+2 Hard Charm
+2 Assult Vest
+2-3 Pokemon Center Lady
+2-3 Professor Sycamore

I've tried something very similar to this ( I lack 2 VS Seeker, so had to substitute a couple cards there), and it does indeed seem to work a bit better. Thank you for your suggestion. :) I miss some of the tricky 1-hit-KOs I got before, but they were too rare and unreliable, just as you said.
