Beedrill+Exeggutor+Celebi Deck (Update)
After a ton of playtesting with a deck containing the above mods, I have a decent understanding of how the deck operates and fairs against the current meta. How's the deck? In short, the deck is pretty fun to play but definitely not consistent enough to pull off decent results in my opinion. I've listed some pros and cons of the deck below.
Pros: This deck's early game is still great thanks to Exegg, allowing you to maintain early-game tempo a solid amount of the time. This deck is also quite energy-efficient. Managing energy between the three attackers feels great, especially since Bee and Exegg only require 1 energy. Decent damage all-round. Celebi allows the deck to reach ohko numbers on most basic EXs, and the two others offer nice damage for how quick and cheap they attack.
Cons: The deck is extremely luck-dependent. With two of your main attackers requiring coin-flips to be effective, there are times where you kind of just loose. In fact, coin-flips are often so essential to your game plan that one missed flip is often the factor that makes you either win or lose the game. Grass struggles. Fire decks still being prominent as well as the rise of scolipede (which can one-shot celebi) can make a lot of match-ups a struggle. The deck can be a struggle to operate. You have to have a good understanding of your outs in this deck. Whether it be misplacing an energy, or putting too many pokemon on bench, it feels like there is a lot of ways to mess up in this deck. You also have to manage three different attackers which can make the Deck's general game plan confusing.
Conclusion: This deck, while fun just does not have to ability to consistently take games. Celebi doesnt clutch up as much as you might think, an can often times be a two prize liability that dies after failing its coin flips. You also have to be consistently be high rolling to be in a good position, which is the case in some decks but especially present in this one. There is also the fact that there are just better grass decks out there. Celebi+Serperior utilizes Celebi better as an attacker, and Beedrill+Exeggutor already have another good late-game option with Mythical Island Exeggutor. Overall, a fun deck for sure, but it does not stack up to the meta game. I would put it below most other grass decks in general.
But what do ya'll think?

I just smash Venusaur ex, Exeggutor ex, Celebi ex and Serperior into a deck, with Butterfee and Lilligant, done. A meta sandwich. Bon appétit.
