First time posting a deck, first time really designing a deck with any sort of strategy (a simple one at that).
Pokemon
2x Victini (Red Collection 9)
2x Reshiram (Black & White 26)
2x Darumaka (BW 24)
2x Darmanitan (BW 25)
4x Vanillite (RC 18)
4x Vanillish (RC 19)
4x Vanillux (RC 20)
2x Kyurem (RC 24)
Trainers
2x Defender
2x Eviolite (RC - Damage done to this basic Pokemon is reduced by 20)
2x Super Rod (RC)
2x Pokemon Communication
2x Switch
2x Great Ball
2x Poke Ball
Energy
13x Water
8x Fire
2x Double Colourless
Main tactic is to spam Victini's Victory Star ability, which allows you to restart the coin flips from an attack of yours, once per turn. Victini need only be on the bench, and I have not intention of using him as an active Pokemon.
Vanilux's attack Double Freeze is the main benefactor of Victini's ability and only costs one {W}{C} to attack (Flip 2 coins. This attack does 40 damage for each heads, and the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. If both are tails, this attack does nothing.) Basically, you only need one coin (in four flips) to be heads, in order to paralyze the opponent, and you deal a decent amount of damage too. This cripples the opposition's ability to attack. If Victini isn't out, for {W}{W} you can deal 60 damage.
Darmanitan does 70 damage, plus either 20 extra, or 20 recoil, depending on a coin flip. Again, if you fail the first time, you just flip once more. For only {R}{C}{C} you deal 90 damage 75% of the time, and do 70 damage and take 20 25% of the time.
Kyurem and Reshiram are just there to dish out cheap damage with their Outrage attacks, {C}{C} to do 20 damage plus ten more for each damage counter on the Pokemon. Once they've taken enough damage you can crank out the odd Defender and Eviolite to keep them alive, or just Switch them out to save for one last strong enemy.
The remaining trainers are just used to find required Pokemon, or recover discarded Pokemon.
Thoughts, opinions? I've only just got back into the game so I may be a bit naive
