The main idea of the deck is to Archie an Omaster as early as possible and start pulling Aerodactyls from deck steadily.Toad performs as an early attacker as well as slowing your oppoents down.
I have played several games with the deck online.It has a high probability to run T1 or T2 Archie.But I have only 5 basics in the deck(and one of them is Shaymin),which often gives my opponent much more hands.I want some more basic attackers to start with,and it would be nice if they can hit big number as toad and aero usually cannot OHKO non-EXs.I also want advices to maximize the opptunity of T1 Archie.
Glad to hear your ideas ^_^
 
Hey, I was thinking about running Toad too. I don't see Regice in the deck, as it really doesn't help too much it to work. Since you're running Toad, you could use Mew FTC and DV. With this, you're maximizing the T1 Quacking Punch opportunities from 3 to 5-6 pokemon, and without needing to use a special energy (and you can Granade Hammer a [P] EX such as Hoopa for 260 damage by only 2[W] energies). You could take out 1 Aerodactyl, I think 3 is enough.
So maybe:
-1 Regice
-1 Aerodactyl
+2 Mew

The supporter list I think it's a bit short. I'd cut either a Muscle Band or an Acro Bike to make room for a second Sycamore. I'd also change the 4 Ultra Ball for 3 Dive Ball (since you're not going to search Aerodactyl, and sometimes you'd not have enough cards in hand to play it) and the 3rd Sycamore or the 2nd N. Also, excluding against item lock, I think the item based drawing engine you have is enough, so I'd try the deck without Shaymin EX. Instead, you could try Barbaracle, since you're already running Archie, if you add the things I told in the first paragraph, making the ToadTina match up a bit more favorable.

I hope this help you!

the problem with dive ball in an archie deck is that it doesnt thin your hand to help pull off consistent archies

Mew is a good idea,and Regice really don't help much.I'll consider 2 or 3 mew with 2 DV.And with DV Barbaracle is good to shut Night March and ToadTina up.
I can't agree with taking out ultra ball.I always rely on it to discard my hand for Archie.It's importand for an Archie deck.Maintenance can also do that but it will draw an unpridictable card,whith often stuck Archie in my hand.
As for the amount of Aerodactyl,I take 3 at first,but I often find one Aero is prized,and an other Aero is discarded by ultra ball(or in my hand),then I can only play 1 Aero.Thus I decided to run 4 Aeros.
I'll try:
+2 Mew
+2 Dimention Valley
+1 Barbaracle
-1 Regice
-1 Muscle Band
-1 Float stone
-1 Water Energy
-1 Maintenance
Thanks a lot for your advice:)!
