The basic strategy is to swarm with Pidgeot and Jumpluff. Against a deck that OHKO's you(such as Blaze Ex/Raqu. Ex) You with have to use Pidgeot plus strength charm(or just Crystal Shard on Articuno or Jumpluff) to OHKO the Raqu. Ex and use Articuno Ex for all its worth against Blaze Ex(it can't OHKO Articuno unless he has a strength charm, which most Blaze decks do not run). ATM: Rock is to slow the Pidgeot/ get a prize at late game etc... Also if they have a really big hand at any point hit them with Rocket's Admin. If they Stephen's for big hand again, VS for Admin again(and again if needed). This is an all around deck that has played well against Blaze(50/50 game). It also plays well against Magma(Groudon is weak to Jumpluff) and Monarchy(Nidoking is weak to Articuno Ex and Nidoqueen is weak to Jumpluff ). With Crystal Shard and Pidgeot you might pull it off against a Dark Heart deck, but it would be a hard game. Sally Ex would be a hard game to, but this deck has a chance, I think(gulp...) Tell me what you think.
 
Actually, modern Blaze decks that run Pidgeot do run Strength Charm so that they can OHKO an opposing Ray with their Pidgeot. And this deck doesn't really have a lot of power except against certain decks that play a lot of energy like Blastoise, which isn't that good right now.

But to each his own =P.
 
The deck is more of a tech deck. It has strategic impulse more than power. If you play the deck right, it does pretty well. You are right about the power thing though. It can't do anything at all against Dark Steelix.
