  • 2 Revive

  • 2 VS Seeker
Energy: 7
  • 1 Double Colorless Energy
  • 6 Fairy Energy
Strategy:

As you can see, this is a mashup of a Fairybox, Archie's, and Ancient Gyarados deck.

The goal is to use AAITH to summon a Gyarados, (or evolve normally), get a Magikarp on the bench as well, put fighting spirit belt on it, and use Frozen City to get damage on it, then transferring the energy to Gyarados. Ideally, you can get as much damage as possible on a single Magikarp, with just four damage counters you can give big G enough "bloodlust" to OHKO an ex, provided it has silver bangle. For additional clunkiness, I considered adding a line of Reuniclus from Black and white, to move damage from big G to the Karps.

***All criticism for how insanely clunky this deck is appreciated, PLEASE HELP ME SMOOTH IT OUT!!!!***
 
I am not a pro when it comes to deck building, but it helped me when I looked at the Blastoise list that won worlds in order to get my Gallade going. I suggest you look at it, substitute all the Blastoise and Keldeo for your Gyarados line, put in your stadiums and Aromatisse and rework the supporter line and maybe the items, but keep the counts similar to the original list. This should make your deck feel less clunky.
EDIT: By the way, nice idea to use Fighting Spirit Belt!
