I really like the idea of this deck, but with the large amount of poison in this deck I personally think it may be beneficial to run more poison affects in the deck.
My idea of the deck runs off of Sigilyph and Latias blocking out while he builds up his actual attackers. The Victini is alright but I wouldn't rely too much on it. Your energy acceleration off of Victini is based on 1 card out of 60 and 2 if you run that Victory Piece.
I reccomend 2 Sigilyph and 2 Latias and 2 Mimes. All three are great blockers and you want one of each on your bench at all times to lock down anyone. The ability to switch them in when need be (via trainers or retreat) will help you lock people out while building up your damagers.
If you plan on running Lasers and Virbanks, I can suggest putting Crobat in the deck, since his poison affect with a Virbank is 6 counters between turns as well as dealing 40 with the initial hit. That's hitting them for, basically, 100 damage once you attack. A very strong power attacker for 3 energy, plus his ability allows you to draw another card per turn. Rare Candy makes the evolution chain easier to get out.
Also 2 Virbanks is a must if your running Lasers. You have a greater chance of drawing one and that's more damage.
Scramble Switch I personally find to be a better Ace Spec in the deck over V-Piece because it allows you to switch and then move the energy from the Pokemon you switched out to the Pokemon to promoted, allowing for a a bit more efficiency with your energy.
Ultra Balls I personally dislike as a whole. The idea of discarding 2 for 1 of anything. With very low ability to retrieve the idea of discarding isn't that great, especially if your already possibly discarding with Juniper. With the low retrieval I just wouldn't suggest running more discard affects than the Junipers.
Tool Scrapper is so situation as an item the only deck I really find it useful against is a Tool Drop deck, especially if you run tools. You may affect yourself more than not.
Just like Tool Scrapper, Silver Mirror is situation, running them is very chancy.
I like Silver Bangle, especially with the mass of EX based decks out now. Although because this deck DOES lockout a lot of EXs or ability users, you don't need them as much because if you're faced against an EX he shouldn't be able to do anything to a good chunk of your Pokemon.
Virizion is really nice to help with status conditions, but so is running anything that allows you to switch your Pokemon, such as Scramble Switch and Switch.
Energy Switches are nice, but not as good as either a Scramble Switch or Energy Search. You can't switch energy from your Pokemon if you don't have any.
Catchers are always nice but have become 50% less useful, running one just isn't worth the 50% chance to get the coin flip you need to hurt one Pokemon, and the chances of drawing it are a even less.
Bianca is nice but with all the draw affects in the deck as is from Juniper and Crobat you don't want to risk decking yourself, just doesn't seem worth it, especially if you run 1.
Skyarrow Bridge is great to help with retreating, but to the same respect most of the Pokemon have low retreats as is.
Energy Retrieval is a must. Gets back any energy you lost via Juniper or any Pokemon that have K.O.'d. They're better than a Super Rod because they go straight to your hand, and the chances of drawing a single Super Rod are low.
Running one of's are challenging in other decks unless you have ways to search for the, and even then it's almost not worth wasting a search because it may be in your Prize.
Just my suggestions and reasoning. It would all also pertain to a major deck change, so it's valid to just decide against my suggestions. Haha.
