SnomDra Expanded
Deck Primer
Very simple deck, though I'm not sure how it will fair against some of the big hitters in expanded (e.g ADP). The point of the deck is to set up as many Kingdra as possible in the first 2/3 turns, while hopefully getting some attacks in with Keldeo V beforehand. Archie is a tech that I think will particularly keep the pace of the deck after losing some mons if discards / attaches / search wiffs can be used effectively to pull a Kingdra straight from the discard pile to the bench without having to deal with evolving.
The main issues that this deck will run into are 1) being out-paced by some of the more consistent expanded staple decks with more consistent setups and draw support 2) getting ability locked and essentially having to forfeit. The strengths of this deck are going to be in setting up consistent 1-prize attackers that are dealing 2/3-prize damage. Especially if your opponent has a rough turn 1, this deck is going to have a pretty fast pace.
Some considerations:
Keldeo V is my best take on an attacker to put in the active slot during setup. Perhaps there are better one prize options, though I do like Keldeo V for the consistency of purpose. There are many ways to go here, either with some beefy Tag Team water tanks, or Articuno TEU, or even something like Seismitoad EX to Item lock the opponent (though I don't think this set up will be quick enough for the pace of expanded).
There may be a world where you can fit an abyssal draw-support Octillary line, maybe 1-1 or even 0-1 with a Ditto* (could also be played with Archie if you can discard it first, will lead to 2 draw until 5s)
Teammates is optionally and can be swapped out for another Juniper; in Expanded I tend to run one of them in most decks to give me some agency as a panic button.
I didn't include any Tools here besides float stone. Perhaps there is a world where you can run a muscle band or two, though I'm not sure what you would remove.
A stretcher and field blower would be nice here but are hard to fit in. Luckily Nessa is a good alt for stretcher and can be played quite comfortably with VS Seekers.
Professor's Letter can be swapped with Capacious Bucket, essentially they're the same card here.
