I love this deck as I really don't like using ex's (I think they are a cop out and VERY LITTLE game and deck building skill is needed to win), I don't even like using the trio of pokemon that do outrage (reshiram/zekrom/kyurem, another no-skill strategy).

Anyway I've been using a similar deck online and had lots of success. I usually don't donk on my 2nd turn, I just think it works well vs poison/spec condition decks, and vs most EXs (they take 3-4 energies to attack and by that time you have 2-3 slashing strikes in equaling 120-180 dmg!) I was able to destroy a 4x Cobalion EX deck, a KeldeoEX/Blastoise, an all fire VictiniEX/ReshiramEX, and squeaked by vs a mewtwoEX/Darkrai (hammertime). So it works!!

I was wondering where this tournament was because I'm always looking for non-EX games!??!

And kudos for using an excellent and original deck and hopefully you had some luck in your tourney!

Oh yeah I go with 4-4 accelgor, and 3-3 starmie and I throw I a couple Dunsparce with double draw

Ayyy~ Thanks for reading, and thanks for the advice! (It was about time that someone would come along >>)

Anyway, I was actually thinking of getting more accelgors since I've had more success with him.

Also, the tournament I'm entering is the reddit pctgo tournament (link here: http://www.reddit.com/r/ptcgo/comments/1es9k9/announcing_the_reddit_ptcgo_open_tournament/)

I used to play TCG a lot in the past, I actually specialised with donk decks for a good part of the time I used to play. Is the format unlimited or limited? I'm guessing with the Smeargle it's unlimited?

Considering that the EXs and Ace Spec trainers in place, it's the intermediate rule, so any cards can be used, which is good, because I think some of the older cards are really good. So here is a list you could follow:

4 Sableye Stormfront. (http://pokebeach.com/scans/stormfront/48-sableye.jpg)

This is your main attacker. This will get you your donks. Also, notice you go FIRST with this, so your opponent as no way to do anything.

4 Crobat G Platinum http://pokebeach.com/scans/platinum/47-crobat-g.jpg

Flash Bite, use it and spam it.

3 Uxies Legend Awakening http://pokebeach.com/scans/legends-awakened/43-uxie.jpg

Again, not an attacker, just spam Set Up

1 Unown Q http://pokebeach.com/scans/majestic-dawn/49-unown-q.jpg

May seem random, but what happens if you start with Uxie? Your stuck with wasting a energy for retreat, free retreat with this guy.

The rest is pretty much only trainers

4 Junk Arm

4 Poke Turn

4 Super Scoop Up

4 Plus Power

3 Expert Belt

4 Plus Power

3 Pokemon Catcher

3 Juniper

3 Dual Ball

4 Pokedex Handy910is

4 Quick Ball

3 Pokemon Seekers

3 Poke Blower http://pokebeach.com/scans/stormfront/88-poke-blower-+.jpg (Use the 1 card affect, not two, just want to spread the damage around )

Energy

4 Special Dark Energy
