Just a thought for the next set. I refuse to run Darkdreigon or Blasteo, and since Garbodor will lose efficiency with the release of Plasma Storm, I must look for a new deck. LMK what you think, or other deck ideas you may have.

The idea of the deck is to spread with Kyurem and Articuno. Then you hit a kill switch with Dusknoir or simply remove certain pokemon as necessary.
 
You missed something really important:
Colress Machine – Trainer
Item (Team Plasma)

Search your deck for a Plasma Energy and attach it to one of your Team Plasma Pokemon. Shuffle your deck afterwards.

You can use any number of Item cards during your turn.

You need 4 of these to get Articuno goign fast.
 
This deck is very cool and I plan to test it since I've been looking forward to it. The main problems are switch/escape rope/Keldeo EX (nothing you can really do against these), allowing them to break the lock, and Enhanced Hammers (or other energy removal) which stop your paralysis attack. For this you could play recycle, and eventually we'll get Thundurus EX, but otherwise there's not too much you can do. Also you might want to play more switches (or escape rope, but it can be bad here) to fight catcher-stall.

That said, it'll be a very formidable deck but is easy to beat in the right meta/if it becomes common, so it's something of a rogue by nature.
If you want a list to compare to/test, then you can watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZkZfqvratU
I don't necessarily think the deck list is great, and hate his supporter/evo line choices, but he gives a good idea of the deck and has a playthrough.
 
I've seen the video. Thanks for your imput. The thing that scares me is the inevitable Cobalion and UberKlinklang deck that will be out. (UberKlinklang prevents all damage to metals by all EX.)
 
the idea is to hopefully have enough damage already on the field to get rid of him with dusknoir and then continue to destroy with articuno. I will have to do alot of testing. Because enhanced hammer will surely become a staple in most decks.
