…Eh, I lied. Let's talk about some of the weirder aspects of this list:
*2 Tornadus is to offer us an energy-conserving attacker, as well as a useful challenger to Donphan – our greatest opponent. Even against lists running Ruins of Alph, Tornadus can stall just long enough to save you in most instances (having Ruins of Alph "and" two Pluspower is quite rare for a Donphan variant)
*1 Thundurus is to give you a self-reliant attacker in mid-game situations where Judge has wrecked your hand, and you have no other recourse.
*1 Raikou is to offer you another mid-level attacker capable of setting up Outrage damage on Zekroms; just use Raikou's attack to hit it!
*Bianca may be a good option to recover from Judge, so consider it as an alternative to Juniper or Sage.
