Strategy:

I'm still just getting back into the game so my knowledge of the card pool is limited to skimming through serebii.
The idea I had in mind was to start with Reshiram or with Houndoom and Scorched Earth.
Houndoom is tanky and with the stadium, you get draw power and it sets up for houndoom's second attack which would let me recycle that discarded fire energy onto a bagon/shelgon/salamence. And if i started with the Reshiram, i would have energy acceleration.

I chose to try out Hugh because Salamence's Power Howl attack does more damage if the opponent's hand size is big. So in theory, its a win-win.

I decided that instead of wasting my supporter for the turn on Lyssandr or gambling on Catcher, I could try the single copy of Ninetales and force a KO that i want. This Ninetales is like Bright Look 2.0 in a way.

My biggest concern though is whether or not my trainers and supporters line up is consistent enough though.

Any suggestions or input is appreciated.
