Hello everyone! This is a deck idea I have been interested in since Japan's Red Collection, and I've been even more keen on it because our next set, Noble Victories, is right around the corner! So, without delay, let's get onto the list!

Pokemon: 19
3-1-3 Feraligatr Prime
4 Kyruem
1 Cleffa
3-2-2 Vileplume

Trainers: 28
x2 Fisherman
x4 Pokemon Collector
x4 Pokemon Communication
x3 Professor Juniper
x4 Professor Oak's New Theory
x4 Rare Candy
x3 Switch
x4 Twins

Translation for Kyurem

Outrage
Energy Cost: CC
20+
Does 10 more damage for each damage counter on this Pokémon.

Glaciate
Energy Cost: WWC
This attack does 30 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Energy: 13
3 Double Colorless Energy
10 Water Energy

The strategy here is pretty simple; get out a Kyurem or 2 and a Feraligatr by Turn 2. Then attack with kyurem once or twice(taking 1-2 prizes off of babies and basics) then knock out their active stage 1/2's with Feraligatr. Meanwhile, get out another Kyurem and Feraligator while you are doing that. Blastoise is also hear for it's sniping and how well it works with Feraligator. Blastoise is also here for midgame prizes.

Of course this list is not perfect, but any comments or suggestions would be great! Thanks!

I don't know if Blastoise is right for the deck. Another stage two makes it clunky and the draw for the deck relies on supporters. Earlier today I was thinking possibly about using Vileplume just to prevent Catchers and Plus Powers so that Kyurem isn't in danger of being K.O'd by Blue Flare or Bolt Strike, that way you can continue to spread for as long as possible without losing prizes.

As well, I think Jirachi would make a good fit in the deck. You could play Rainbow Energy to use his attack to devolve their evolutions once the spread is sufficient to get a few prizes. If you're running DCE as well you could consider Kyogre Groudon Legend with the possibility of even higher spread and discarding from your opponent's deck.

Obviously the deck has to be playtested a bit to see what works well with it but those are cards that I feel would work well with it.
 
Vileplume sounds really great!

How would this kind of deck fare?

Since you can't use Revive for Kyurem, I would suggest the Rescue Energy for sure. I would probably argue against 3 Switches in this particular list if you're using Vileplume. It's hard enough to try to use the Rare Candies and Communications to get Feraligatr out before you set up Vileplume, so be really careful with the trainer balance. Just remember that once that Vileplume is out, that's it, no trainers. I would go with some more supporter draw. Since there isn't any source of draw from Pokemon your only bet is from supporters. I would consider Cheren, or maybe some Bianca since you drop energy from your hand and make it small, making the gain from Bianca possibly 4 or 5 cards. I definitely agree with the Twins. I think Twins is what will be getting your setup going. Also I don't know about the DCE, since it's only used for Kyurem's Outrage, and I mean you could donk, but I don't think it would be reliable. If you run the DCE, I personally would run Kyogre Groudon Legend or something else that uses it better. But yeah this is definitely the deck I am going to make work next set, I really like the potential is has already. Even despite hype, water is going to wreck fire, period, even if it was just from Kyurem using Outrage the entire time.
