Deck Primer

This is a budget lost zone deck I am planning to use for an expanded format tournament in my local game store. The Opponents I face are either using Lugia VStar or Mew Vmax with control on the field. I want advice on how to make this better. This is on standard as I cannot get my hand on older cards as its too expensive, I am building a standard deck to use in Expanded. 

The gist of this deck is lost zone but with darkrai to deal with mew vmax through darkness weakness. Yveltal can also deal

This is a budget lost zone deck I am planning to use for an expanded format tournament in my local game store. The Opponents I face are either using Lugia VStar or Mew Vmax with control on the field. I want advice on how to make this better. This is on standard as I cannot get my hand on older cards as its too expensive, I am building a standard deck to use in Expanded. 

The gist of this deck is lost zone but with darkrai to deal with mew vmax through darkness weakness. Yveltal can also deal with Mew Vmax but they're there to deal with Lugia vmax deck using special energy. Of course I can also use them to deal with Mew Vmax deck that use special double colorless energy. 

Snorlax is there to act as a tank and prevent opponent from retreating [Mew Vmax, Air balloons] Also the original snorlax that is on a lost zone deck I could not get my hands on. 

Rest of the cards are the usual lost zone deck.

Trainer wis, I have battle vip pass to get bench going, all the lost zone cards minus field [Yes lots of vacuum but the opponent run stadium deck a lot or pokemon tools.] Fantania is there in hopes that I can negate loads of the vmax dmg. 120 off a 210 attack will be 90 dmg only. Boss Order to pick off enemy retreat moons before they get too big, Marnie to shuffle,  switch cart to save units and to use comfey ability twice. [I couldn't get my hand on a scoop up] Rescue Carrier to get back units that have died. Great ball and Ultra ball to search for mons. Choice Belt to help deal with V, Vmax, Vstar. 8 darkness 2 psychic.  [8 darkness for yveltal and darkrai. will try to put it mostly on darkrai to up the dmg.]

Darkrai is the sweeper with the reduce dmg when it has a darkness energy, fantania to reduce dmg further so lugia vstar with powful energy attach dealing around 300 dmg, minus 120, minus 20, 160 [still kills sadly] but yeah any tips is much appriciated.

I would like to point out the Mew VMax I will be facing contain cards not seen in other VMax Deck as its expanded. There's sky field as well as path to the peak, some sodowoodo card that reduces opponent bench to 4, loads of boss orders, among other things that controls opponent turn so that they cannot do anything. Path to the peak to prevent opponent from using pokemon abilities then lost vacuum the path to the peak on their turn so that they can use genesect endless draw power via sky bench or some other mons before sky to the peak again and so forth. Its a really annoying deck to play against. This deck is made to counter their deck + I got tired of playing Mew VMax.

(I been using Mew Vmax as I barely got into pokemon and the league battle deck for Mew VMax was there. After I bought it I started to win a few match up but then suddenly everyone else started playing Mew VMax but their decks contain locking you from using your own genesect to preventing you from getting a bench which started to not be fun.)  Plus plaiyng Mew VMax over and over against vs another Mew Vmax is getting tiring. 

So I would appriciate help on this deck, I have cards from crown zenith, lost origin, silver tempest. (To give you a hint of what cards I might have to add to this deck.) I do have a Giritina V... and the VStar..


I also wanted to build a deck around Spirit Tomb (The Spirit Tomb that does 60 more dmg per spirit tomb in discard pile) I could replace the snorlax + darkrai, yveltal for 4 spirit tomb  (that way can ultra ball the spirit tomb, keep 1 on the field with dark energy, do (60*4)+10 for 230 [mew weakness 460] or choice belt for near one shot Lugia VStar. 

Rescue Carrier to bring back the 60hp Spirit Tomb when one gets knocked out and use Mirror to attach double energy to do it again next turn?

Maybe add Ditto so I can use lost mine via sudden transformation. 

I could also go spiritomb route with ditto sudden transformation.

No water energy as I want to use spit innocently for 0 cost.

Ok ditch Fatina, its not needed for any decks that are single prizers.

Try this list: https://pokemoncard.io/deck/lost-zone-box-22511
