Non-Lost World Mew Prime and Gengar Prime

[jrv98]

Hey y'all,
I'v checked the internet to find a deck that uses mew prime and gengar prime without relying heavily on the stadium Lost World. I've put a deck together that is 55/60 done. Meaning there's one card that's missing and then the other 4 will come. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreicated.

My deck list:
2 Eevee (UD)
2 Espeon (UD)
1 Victreebel (Tri)
2 Celebi prime
3 Absol prime
4 Mew prime
3 Gastly (Tri)
2 Haunter (Tri)
2 Gengar prime
2 Riolu (UL)
3 Lucario (CoL)

1 Lost World
1 Burned Tower
2 Pokemon Communication
1 Energy Exchange
2 Pokemon Collector
1 Energy Search
2 Professor Oak's New Theory

4 Dark Energy
4 Rainbow Energy
10 Psychic Energy
6 Grass Energy

A few things I'm noticing at a glance:

24 Energy is a lot of energy. cut this back to 20 Energy, then add in 4 more trainers, such as more Energy Search or Interviewer's Questions.

Why is Victreebel in there?

 

[jrv98]

Victreebel is in for Mew to utlizies Acidic Drain ( remove 30 damage and burn and poision) plus 30 damage.

Ah, I see.

You'll want to cut out about 3, 4, or 5 Pokemon and replace those with Trainers or Supporters, preferably draw ones like Professor Oak's New Theory, Pokemon Communication, or Pokemon Collector so you can get the specific Pokemon you need so you can either See Off it or set it up. 26 Pokemon is on the high side.

I was debating whether to cut the Absol's out (3) and the dark energy (4). And then add some energy searches (2) and Carnivine from unleashed (3). Work with drawup power, which allows me to search my deck for an energy, including my rainbow. Combo that with 2 of my 4 energy searches and in two turns I could have all my rainbow energies in my hand ready to attach to a mew. I'm a little worried to cut down the total of basic pokemon since only Espeon and Gengar have more than 70 HP, which going up a deck that hits hard it a bit of a problem. Good thought process or should I just add draw trainers?

 

[donavannj]

Your focus seems to be more on attacking with Mew, so those extra trainers will probably help improve the pace. You could cut out Victreebel, since, though it's attack gives status damage, the most it can do is 40 in a turn, and against high HP basics that hit hard that won't help at all. Consider putting in some Eviolite. It might help.

 

[jrv98]

Thanx for the advice. I'm liking the idea of those eviolites. Mew is a strong part of the deck, but in a perfect world mew and gengar are both focuses with lucario coming in to clean up what they couldn't. Mind throwing up a deck list of what you see working here. Again I really appreciate the advice

 

[donavannj]

I'll give you totals for what your Energy/Pokemon/Trainer spread will probably be based on these suggestions:

Pokemon: 18-22
Energy: 18-20
Trainers: 18-22

Not feeling up to giving a set list, since ultimately it is your deck.
