I'm needing some input on my Gothtini deck. It's the first deck I,be ever made but it usually does fairly well...except against fluffychomp.
Here's my deck list...

People call my deck the EX slayer because it's focused purely on eliminating EX decks. FluffyChomp rarely uses EXs though and that is why I lose. RayEel and Zekeel I've never lost to, and Darkrai/Hydriegon I've gone 5-2. Any ideas, compliments, or constructive disagreements are greatly appreciated.
 
I agree with maybe taking out the Gothorita for a rare candy but I'm unsure about the Sigilyph. I'm already fighting for space on the bench with all my attackers and victinis. I'm considering adding some more draw power since i often find myself helpless for energy.
 
Nah don't tech too much... have you tried using Gothitelles second attack against Gartaria? Since they will always have a full bench you will normally do 140 ... enough to kill Garchomps ... I don't know if this works, but in theory it should increase your odds...
One more question... why do you have PlusPower in there? Your main strategy is to one hit things with Doom Decree... which normally means that Plus Power is useless... or what exactly you use it for?
 
I use the plus powers mainly for my V-blast Victinis. I somehow almost always draw Victini in my first hand so it's nice to have a little extra power behind the hit especially if it gives me a chance to donk. As for the Black Magic attack, I am able to take out one or two Garchomps. However, the second I kill one another is up and ready to kill my Gothitelle. In a match I can usually get FluffyChomp down to around 2 Prize Cards but that's when my deck slows down and they come back. My deck just can't maintain a steady flow of attacks.
 
Yeah I think it's the fact they need less energy to attack (tested it myself and lost by 2 prizes as you described). EXP. Share could help you with streaming the attacks...
You don't play any super Rod? That could be another thing why you can't keep the stream going...
What do you normally catcher versus Gartaria? What is your main target? I think there will be a possibility to improve this MatchUp but if you can manage not to play against these in the first few rounds you have good chances not to face them at all. ^^
 
I usually make sure I'm OHKOing Garchomp. I know that Altaria is what makes Garchomp such a pain but all killing an Altaria will do is reduce Garchomps attack by 20. As for the super rods and exp shares I'm not entirely sure what to take out. I've changed my deck list a bit and I'll post the updated version a bit later.
