Reshiram-Emboar deck with Lanturn Prime tech

[Roottori]

This is my Emboar-Reshiram deck. I've tested few games with it and it works surprisingly well with this supporter- and trainer engine. I added Lanturn Prime tech for water decks, it worked quite in nicely in few games that I tested against water (Blastgatr and KGL). Any ideas to make this deck better?

4-2-4 Emboar (2x ability, 2x regular)
3 Reshiram
2-2 Lanturn Prime
4 Cleffa

= 21 Pokemons

3 Professor Oak's New Theory
4 Professor Juniper

4 Dual Ball
4 Pokemon Communication
4 Rare Candy
4 Energy Retrieval

= 23 T/S/S

4 Double Colorless Energy
10 Basic Fire
2 Basic Lightning

= 16 energies

=60


Strategy is quite basic, I use ability Emboar for energy acceleration and Reshiram is attacker. Regular Emboar can be used mid- to late-game, with DCE it's like beefier Reshiram. Lanturn Prime works as a tech against water. Cleffa is a starter and gives me a hand refresh if I need.

Trainer engine may seem little bit odd, but it works surprisingly well. With Cleffa, PONTs and Junipers I can get two hand refresh in one turn and with all of these trainers, I can just burn through my hand and get me a new one. In all games what I've tested, I've been set up at least on T3, sometimes T2. Thanks for Ignatious from this trainer engine -idea, I got this from your article.

you don't really have enough energies to make lanturn prime work...... the only tech I'd use on reshiboar is a fire type.... everything else looks good tho

Well, I only use it against water pokemons and most of them are weak to lightning. So I can easily hit 200+ to water pokemons (except Feraligatr prime) which is more than enough. If that's what you meant?

not to mention it can OHKO anything in a mirror match and has beautiful synergy with emboar. I would add a 2-2 ninetales CL in for draw power, you kinda need it to make the deck flow fast enough. I would thin the emboar line down and remove the flare blitz, a 3-2-2 ability line is my choice. your reshirams and lanturn are all the firepower you need. fisherman is also essential in this deck, since you will most likely be discarding 2-3 energy per turn once you setup.

Yeah, sure it can be used in mirror, too. I just don't like it in mirror because it's one shot for my opponents Reshiram. IMO Flare Blitz Emboar is really useful in mirror, because it can OHKO anything but nothing can OHKO it, if my opponent is not using Flare Blitz Emboar.
And about Ninetales, I had it in my deck before I added in Lanturn, but now I really can't find room for it. And with Ninetales I would need more energy recorery, which needs more spots... What would you suggest to take out and put in?

 

[psychicpokemon]

well yeah I see what you mean and it makes a lot of sense but you need more electric energies or Lanturn simply wont work...... I'd suggest at least 5 electric energies....
