HGSS-on VVV/ReshiZek Mashup: need reviews!

[nuva267]

A Reshiram+Zekrom/VVV mashup. It's fresh from the collection, so don't go too hard on me.

Also, please don't start with telling me to get more Collecter, 2 is as many as I can afford for now. So don't troll me with collector.

One more thing, before you give me improvement remarks [Which I am perfectly fine with], please give me what you think of the deck how it is. Here it is:

Pokémon:25

4-3-4 Vanilluxe
3-1-2 Vileplume
2 Fliptini
1 Reshiram
1 Zekrom
1 Torkoal [Triumphant]
2 Rotom
1 Cleffa

T/S/S/I: 21

3 Twins
4 Rare Candy
4 PONT
2 Collector
3 Juniper
1 Skyarrow Bridge
2 Sage's Training
2 N

Energy: 14

7 Water
2 Prism
3 DCE
2 Rescue

The strategy of this deck is to get a first turn Zek/Reshi, using DCE for Outrage. If Durant comes, Reshiram will use Prism Energy for Blue Flare. Torkoal is to induce Burn. I might add a Seeker in there for good measure later on. Rotomswitches prizes combined with Sage's Training for a nice loadout. The VVV will come in when Reshiram and/or Zekrom lose their purpose and/or lives.

Please respond soon, need to be ready for Nats.

-Nuva267 out.

I'm kind of confused as what you're trying to do with this deck. Two stage 2's are hard to get out now-a-days, all with the fast format. If you're going to run that, make sure that your deck is consistent, which means more trainers and supporters. Trainer lock won't slow down a deck too much any more. That means youll have to set up Vanilluxe and Plume right away, which means that you'll not want to draw other Pokemon. Personally, I think melding these two deck ideas is counter productive. Find an idea and stick to it. If you do run VVV, make sure you do have at least some communications for getting the Plume out. Also add more N. N in VVV is deadly. If you run Zekrom/Reshiram, then you need to redo most all of your deck list. Your idea, VVV, and Reshirom all do not need Rotom, as it is only useful is Durant.Sorry if this isn't what you want to hear, but you can't take a deck like the one above to any tourney and expect to make top cut =( sorry.

AOK, that's cool. I'll take it into consideration. Reshirom probably doesn't belong here, along with Rotom. I think I might keep in Reshiram though, as a starter. He's a way to kick butt while putting up the VVV part on the bench, plus a good way to stall a Durant . Here's the idea:

-3
2 Rotom
1 Zekrom

+3
2 N
1 Seeker

I was thinking a Seeker could help me get a burn with Torkoal. I haven't eveen tested this deck yet, so I might test the first out with my bro. I'll change afterwards.

I've been using this deck lately, and it hasn't failed yet against many competetive players, Rotom, no Zek, but still a Reshi. Have you tried to play this deck? It works great.
