Minimal energy deck (water, fighting, dragon)

[Sandshrew4]

So basically the jist of this deck is to do damage fast. Gabites get garchomps out who do lots of damage for not a lot of energy. Tornadus movs energys to where i need them and the rest of the pokemon just dont need many energies. Now please take into account i made this deck on a whim and dont expect it to be great or anything. But please tell me how i could improve :D

To me this looks like a somewhat weaker version of Garchomp/Altaria. That deck focuses on getting Garchomp out as fast as possible and using Altaria's ability to raise the power of Garchomp's moves by 20. That deck runs very little energy (I think it's 8 Water / 4 Blend) and can do 100+ damage on turn 2 (depending on the number of Altaria's you can get.)

Ok thanks! Is the altaria legal? If so what set?

The Altaria cartercr is referring to is from Dragons Exalted. You have to be careful that people don't use Pokemon Catcher to bring it up and KO it, though, as it's only got 70 HP.

The two cards I hate most in this format. Pokemon Catcher and Darkrai EX... (That's the main card that will kill your Altaria's. I mean Eels could do it, but he'd have to do 40 to himself... Zekrom EX can do it as well, but needs either a heads or to discard energy. Basically what I'm saying is, watch out for Darkrai.
