THIS IS A FUN DECK!!!!

When you think of running a dark type attacker, Yveltal EX probably comes to mind. But I decided to take a different approach. I love fairy types, and I decided to use a lot of useful fairy type cards. I've play tested this deck, and XY Slurpuff actually is actually a lot more helpful than I thought, I've been in positions where I couldn't get a fairy garden into play and it prevents me from getting stuck in the active with a Xerneas.

One problem I have with this deck is trying to find out what Pokemon to bench and when to bench them. We can utilize Slurpuff (PHF) to draw cards and Lysandre last resort is there just incase we get to a point where we might deck out. Obviously, use fairy transfer to move around energies on either Xerneas or Malamar, and get everything set up with Xerneas (geomancy). Xerneas is an OK attacker, so instead of finding ways to maximize it's attacking power (exluding muscle band) we can use AZ and Revive to keep using them over and over.

15 energies might seem like a lot, but it opens a lot of doors for attacking choices. I've considered removing the DC but I'm not sure what to replace it with.

This is sort of what I want to call a 'budget' deck because both EX's are fairly cheap and this deck is made with cards I've pulled, not traded or bought.
