Add fossils. They'll stabilize the deck and still allow you to power up first turn. It just gives you the option of not starting with a squirtle. Example:
4 squirtle
4 blastoise -ex (Your goal, as stated, was to get out a t1 blastoise -ex...I believe you yelled rather nastily at someone who suggested otherwise...therefore, why are you running wartortle at all?)
Total: 8
Trainers:
4 Root Fossil
4 Claw Fossil
4 Rare Candy
4 Great Ball
4 Steven's Advice
4 Pokeball
4 Pokenav
4 Pokedex Handy 909
Total: 32
20 Water energy
Total: 20
TOTAL: 60
If your goal is really to maximize your chance of getting a t1 blastoise -ex, the above is about the best you can do. It'll allow you to have the option of starting with a fossil, which you can throw away if you have the great ball and use it to get a squirtle. You also have more flexibility in terms of mulliganing at the beginning. Fossils + great ball essentially means you have not 4, but 8 squirtle in your deck for the purposes of starting the game with one. Even more speed can be achieved by dropping 4 of the fossils for another non support draw card (like dual ball).
