How many do you play already? 3 or 4?
I currently play 4 N, but I think just 3 would work nicely... I run 4 Juniper and 2 Colress BTW
Yea 3 n is fine I run 3 colress juniper and n 4 skyla and a jarchi and also three beach for draw so I like less supporters
Less supporters?
This entire deck's main problem besides Garbodor is consistency; last format during Nationals I ran 4 Juniper, 3 N, 4 Skyla, 2 Colress, AND 3 Beach (and all of my losses were to bad draws!). Things may have to change now since you have literally no chance vs Garbodor without making room somewhere for Scrapper, but focusing on supporters and consistency is a big deal.

Agreed. It's alright to replace maybe one hand renewal card for a tool scrapper, but you need those supporters to go through cards quickly and get the energy you need. BTW, how do you feel about running a 3rd BK EX? I figure it's good if you have space, but then again, you pretty much have to get an Energy Retrieval +1 Energy or a SER. I think it's good, I just don't know if it is worth the space to make it the deck's main attacker. Any thoughts on this?
For me, I prefer to run 3 BKEX in my Blastoise deck and 2 Keldeo EX. Having the necessary energy, ER and/or SER has not yet been an issue. Besides, if you only run 2 BKEX and 1 is prized, that could cause some issues.Keldeo EX FTW said:
I've been thinking about the new changes for pokemon catcher coming soon, and I've been wondering if it would be a good idea to remove some or all of them since they're now dependent on coin flips. By removing all three, you could fit in 2 tool scrapper and a 3rd BK EX. I still think it's a good card, but I just like to think of all the possibilities.
I personally think all catchers should be taken off and replaced with escape ropes. With XY coming up with mega evolutions we will see how they are. OHKO might not be easier with BKEX.
Based on first instinct, I would simply cut catcher altogether.
I know it's annoying and it gives a lot of decks outs against you that they otherwise might not have, but you literally OHKO the entire format. You don't need to finish off those benched EX's like other decks do; and thereby, it's not worth playing a flippy card that the deck can function without.

Re: RE: Blastoise / Keldeo EX / Black Kyurem EX
1st off, you never needed 4 catchers. Secondly, beach is fine. If you do not have beaches I still do not think electrode warrants it's place. To replace the catchers I would recommend other techs or adding more supporters.Fatality said:
>If you don't own tropical beach don't play blastoise nothing can replace it... your deck becomes too inconsistent without it, even more inconsistent when playing electrode. Electrode brings a tier 1 deck to like tier 1.5

Have a go, just wont be the best...
Anyway...
I don't play catchers in mine, never have. With those 4 extra spots you can fit in 2 tool scrapper, comp search and a max potion which is what Blastoise decks differ what Ace-spec and how many scrappers they play. With having 4 free spots without catchers you can just play all the good stuff.

I recently played someone online that was using Electrode. It worked well. I would give it a try if I owned any of those BB Kyurems... but I don't so my deck is straight water.
Personally I use 1-1 Electrode it's running good. In many battles during the turn my hand reaches 3 cards and less easily because the energies. Then I use the effect of Electrode. Or I after N and have two prizes... Electrode is good at 1-1 and I recommend playing with him like this.

IMO blastoise can still be tier 1 without beach. I played blastoise keldeo at regionals with 2-2 electrode instead of beaches and made top 8. Also went undefeated in the 2 league challenges I've played in. I went 4-0 during this time against mirror match with tropical beach. Beach is only good during t1 after that it's a dead draw electrode provides consistent draw power throughout the game.
