Yveltal EX / Seismitoad EX / Garbodor

Hey guys, I've got a cities championship coming up in January and I want to tweak my Yveltal deck to better handle M-Manectric EX as it's seeing loads of play in my area. I'm not opposed to dropping Garbodor but can't decide if it's worth it. I've been thinking of adding in cards such as Shadow Circle, more Head Ringer, Skyla for Head Ringer consistency and Computer Search instead of Dowsing Machine.

Let me know what you think!

Pokemon:

  • 3x Yveltal EX
    2x Yveltal
    2x Seismitoad EX
    2-2 Garbodor (Garbotoxin)
    1x Darkrai EX
    1x Jirachi EX
Supporters/Stadiums/Items:

  • 4x N
    4x Professor Juniper
    2x Lysandre
    2x Colress

    2x Virbank City Gym

    4x Hypnotoxic Laser
    4x Muscle Band
    3x Ultra Ball
    2x Float Stone
    2x Head Ringer
    2x VS. Seeker
    1x Switch
    1x Escape Rope
    1x Professor's Letter
    1x Dowsing Machine
Energy:

  • 8x Darkness Energy
    4x Double Colorless Energy

Strategy:
I generally try and start with Seismitoad or Yveltal depending on whether or not I can use Professor's Letter and Juniper to get some Darkness in the discard early on. I try and get an item lock going ASAP and chuck a Head Ringer onto their Seismitoad/Virizion/Manectric EX when possible to slow them down. After that it's basically a matter of getting an Yveltal EX down and powering that bad boy up to take some prizes. If the opposing deck is ability heavy, I will try and lay down a Garbodor as well, but lately I have found myself using it as discard fodder.
