I am a pretty bad deck builder. It will be my first nats since 2009-2010 (when Luxchomp was huge with Claydol still in format) I made Top Cut with Gengar SF. I am pretty nervous. I don't really have a deck I enjoy or do good with. I have tried every deck possible. The strategy is use your big Pokémon to set up some damage (disrupt a little too) while setting up Empoleon. Then get Egg in the discard so you get free cards. I like this deck. I just don't know how its going to do against EVERYTHING. The double Keldeo is for Accelgor Matchups. Any help is appreciated.

I would probably not bother with Landorous since TDK will be hugely played and kyurem is Landorous's worst enemy. If you are worried about gothitelle (like me), maybe tech in one or two Audinos to try and slow your opponent down. Running five ball engines maybe a bit too much since you will be drawing into most of your pokemon with empokeon. I would personally run three ultra ball and one level ball.

Maybe just stick to a keldeo/empoleon deck and maybe add in one or two kyurem (PLF) just because its a great all round attacker.
 
Basically. If it's water run it? Lol. I like that idea. I liked the one energy attackers. I think this deck could be really cool. Do I need to keep the special energy? I think a cobalion or two would help in the plasma match up

Btw. I love your plasma list. I was thinking of trying it tbh. It just seemed like fun.
 
You might want to run two coballion because its a reasonable attacker and is a nice card against those plasma mach ups (like you said). I would defiantly keep the blends but I'm not to sure on the prisms, maybe just run two or three since your not really going to use coballion much (unless your playing against TDK) and they don't work on empoleon. I would probably add in another keldeo to the list since its your main attacker.

Also I would probably take out Cheren (and maybe another supporter) since your playing empoleon which will be your main source of drawing, so there is no real need for too many supporters.

Good luck :)
 
Hmm. I'm thinking now if I add another keldeo then I should just run Blastoise lol I'm stressing about this tourney.

I had it in here. I am going back and forth. I like the comp search better since I lowered it to one kyurem in some testing
