I will be doing this style of a fix for the rest of the month of October. 3 max of any card except basic energy and 15 trainers...
Mmmm... Moltres deck. I've seen plenty of these in my days, including the one I played in a tournament to take 2nd. Darn you Spike and your Arcanine puppies ;) *chuckles*
What I've learned about Moltres is that you need to have a solid attacking force to keep your opponent busy and then be able to strike in the late game with a constant Moltres threat. To do this, you've got to be willing to play with Pokemon Centers and Scoop Ups. This lets you keep Moltres up front for an extended period of time in the late game.
But before we get too far into the strategy of such a deck, let's first take a closer look at your pokemon choices. Moltres and Fossil Magmar are a necessity in this style of deck. Another card that is almost essential in a good Moltres stall deck is Chansey. I have to disagree with your idea of running all 3 versions of Moltres. Although this might be fun on occasion, it isn't going to help you win games. Both the Rocket Moltres and Blaine's Moltres are slow to get started. You are better off playing with Blaine's Growlithe and Blaine's Arcanine in this deck to offer a heavy-hitter threat. Thereby giving you a quick start threat, heavy-hit threat, and a stall threat. You'll hit your opponent in every stage of the game.
Pokemon (15 Basic + 4 Evols = 19 Total):
3 Moltres
3 Magmar (Fossil)
3 Blaine's Growlithe (L20)
2 Blaine's Arcanine
3 Blaine's Vulpix (L18)
2 Blaine's Ninetales
3 Chansey
For energy, we focus entirely on lots of that Fire goodness with a little bit of special energy thrown in.
Energy (21 Basic + 5 Special = 26 Total):
21 Fire
3 Double Colorless
2 Full Heal Energy
That leaves us with room for our 15 trainers. We want to focus on card drawing and stall.
Trainers (15 Total):
3 Erika
2 Professor Oak
2 Computer Search
2 Cinnabar City Gym
2 Nightly Garbage Run
2 Scoop Up
2 Pokemon Center
Good luck to you in your hot matches!
