You can use a Supporter once during your turn. To use it, play it next to your Active Pokemon and discard it at the end of your turn.

Now to the deck strategy. I threw this together, having no way to test it yet, but I feel it works in theory. The strategy? Take advantage of your opponent's Energy spread. There are multiple ways to do this, though vs. Kingdra it will be only too easy, seeing as they discard the stuff like people throw away gum. You can discard forcibly via Absol, if they are unwilling to cooperate, and of course knock out one or two pokes. Then Tentacle Tease energy onto your opponent and come at them with The Lightning Lanturn's Energy Split. Nice. Also, you can simply use the Water Lanturn's attack, Wild Current, to force extra energy off of the defending pokemon onto everyone else. Tentacruel can also be very nasty against Kindra by attaching energy he discard to him, which he cant use anyway, and laughing when he can't Aqua Stream his energy back in.
30 to all, 30 to all...one or two turns to knock them all out? Also, Ampharos for even more damage spread to help things along. Ampharos also punishes energy carriers by doing 20 to all holding it if you discard. This deck looks set to destroy Kingdra, but as for the others, only time will tell.
This is most likely to stay as fun deck, but if anyone wants to do some testing, tell me how it goes. Fixes please too, after all this is practically the Alpha stage.
Also, other names for this deck? Hmmm.... The Pharoh's Curse, Sting, Cruel Lanterns? Names would be nice too, yeah. :d
Matchups
I've played a a few games...more to come
Scepterra 55-45
I woukld have thought this to be a harder matchup, but with all the energy, it's not terrible. Torterra, as always, can be a beast. But beatable, and slightly in your favor. KO Sceppies for great justice.
