Deck Control: Weavile, Wromadam, and Slowking

[Zero]

Another one of my brother's fail builds. He is convinced that this is a good build. It can barely establish a lock against anything that has a starter, and is just a really bad deck. Please criticize as necessary. He will not take my advice, once again...

3 Uxie
3-3 Wormadam Trash Cloak
2-2 Wormadam Sandy Cloak
2-2 Slowking HGSS

4 SSU
3 Bebe's Search
3 Team Rocket's Trickery
3 BTS

Strategy: Attempt to lock your opponent. Discard their good cards and then return the bad ones that they discard from TRT to the top of their decks.

Weavile and Slowking i can understand, but what is up with the Wormadam lines? Neither contribute to the disrupting theme. Your brother would be better off switching to a 3-3 Houndoom UD line though it's a bit frail (though so are the Worms) but at least it adds to the hand disruption theme. i It would be slightly better if your brother played 4 Sableye to get that T1 initiative or donk, or just set up. Something like

3-3 Houndoom UD
2-2 Weavile UD
4 Sableye
(+ other techs and such .etc)
Heck, it may even be better if your brother just switched to Sable-Lock, but that's just my opinion.

Trash Cloak Wormadam puts a card in opponent's discard pile to the top of their deck. Often, Trickery will make them discard a bad card. Put that card on top and you're golden.
