Hi, I just started playing Pokémon with some friends from our university and decided to get myself the Umbreon UD starter deck. I added some cards here and their however I keep getting ROFL stomped. I am Brand new to the game so I don’t know what the staple cards are so if you guys could help me that would be awesome.

Pokémon (33)
3-2-1 Metagross UD (pretty much my only winning Condition)
4-3 Umbreon UD (Umbreon is pretty nice but dosent really kill anything)
2-2 Liron UD (he has to go but I don’t know what to replace him with)
2-2 Skuntank UD (This needs to go too)
2-1 Houndoom UD (really nice but dies fast)
3 Sableye (awesome combo with Pokémon communications)
2 Mawile UD (helps in the beginning getting cards I can actually play)
1 Raticate G SV (better then Murkrow)
1 Stantler UL (same as Ratticate)
1 Girafarig HS (love this card fetches my energies at the start)
1 Skarmory UD (going out too)

T/S/S (9)
2 Switch
2 Interviewer’s Questions
2 Sage’s Training
2 Pokémon Communication
1 Burned Tower (brings back the energies from my fainted Pokémon)

Energies(18)
11 Steel
7 dark

Ok that’s pretty much it basically I try to bring out Metagross as fast as I can. Umbreon comes out fast and allows me to stall to power up my Beldums. I usually try to start off with Giraferig, Raticate, and Or Standler Just to get the main pokes on the bench or energy’s to my hand. I will be buying most of the singles you guys suggest so just go all out :3 I’m primarily looking for better Win condition Pokémon’s and trainers/support cards.

Thanks for taking your time. ^_^

p.s we don’t play with resistances so don’t worry bout that.

if you can a
-card(#)
+card(#)
format would help a lot ^_^thanks!
 
I don't know where to start.

Metagross is your main attacker you're gonna wanna run a 4-3-4 line or 3-2-3
(beldum-metang-metagross)
you might wanna go down to a 2-2 line of umbreon

+4 rare candy
+3 Broken Time Space
-4 dark
+4 Special Dark
-4 Metal
+4 Special Metal
+2 or 3 energy exchanger
