Im probably the reason you may have missed a dmf cut, we played in 2 dmfs first round of the event and i dont think our matches msde it past the 10 minute mark.
Ive only Played in 3 DMF's. 2 of Which I top 8 at. All 3 I never lost first Round. You sure you got me correct? I played in 2 DMF Las Vegas and 1 DMF Houston.
 
If this deck is run like the OP implies, I think it'll get ROCKED by EX's

I recommend Sigyliph or counter EX's

My 2 cents

Rocked by which EX? Most of the EX pokemon need two hits to KO Garchomp and Garchomp with two Altaria can 2HKO most of the EX pokemon. Considering the prize ratio, that gives the advantage to Garchomp.

4-3-4 garchomp Period no questions. if you dont believe me now you will later when you lose at mirror :)
Actually, it's not just the mirror, it's the deck's set up in general. You need 4 of your main attacker, that's common sense; then the 3 Gabite add so much consistency with their Dragon Call Ability that 4-3-4 is practically a given in all Garchomp/Altaria decklists.

I tried Yuta Komatsuda's exact list but swapped out 1 Juniper for 1 Random Receiver because I felt that I just couldn't discard too many cards in this deck. Unlike Darkrai/Hydreigon, Garchomp/Altaria has practically zero recovery with the exception of 2 Super Rod; you only have 4 Catchers to spare and it sometimes pains me to have to waste/discard even a single copy early game just to set up. There are also stuff which simply cannot be discarded haphazardly with Juniper, such as Swablus/Altarias (since you need to stream these out constantly).

Right now I'm also wondering about Rayquaza's usefulness in this deck, I'll admit I've never tested Rayquaza in my list but it seems to be an interesting addition to slaughter stuff like Swablu, Tynamo, Gible and Deino. The problem is getting the Blend Energy early when you need it (before they evolve the abovementioned donk-able starters). Just sharing my experience with testing this deck.
 
i have played this deck with no proxies and im only running a 3-3-3 line of chomp and its working out. then again no one else at my league has the cards to build it. and also giant cape is acually pretty good in this deck as it gets chomp out of OHKO range of reshi and zek Ex. and this deck is incredibly fast. i love it when you have turn 3 3 garchomps and 2 altaria :D
 
I don't understand the Receivers and Switch? Everything in your deck has at least one retreat. You need to max your rare candies and and maybe add a max potion or something. I also like rescue scarf.
 
I think rescue scarf is good to get your Altaria back quickly but to add them in i'd probably have to drop 2 tool scrapper which are invaluble in some matchups. 2 super rod usually work fine.
