Freeze Deck nowadays

I actually opened a topic about it (that wasn't approved for some reason), this is its description: everything here is hypothetical. I don't have the figures to actually try this deck (I have 2 suicunes and articuno, missing the rest)

Suicune Articuno (maybe swap for mew for more reliable gold or with Sceptile/Deo a for hard hitter) Glaceon Weavile x3

Pros: No need for a specific plate Weavile's freeze is really easy to set Good deck vs mew/greninja Suicune's ability No real counters

Cons: Takes time to setup (as most elimination decks) No supportive plate to boost up entire deck Exclusive reliant on freezing (may suck if there is/will be a Pokemon that can't get frozen, especially hard hitters) Somehow risky vs overdriven reshizek A bit countered by high star purples (but since most decks aren't using many purple abusers, it's not a big deal)

Possible plates: Double chance is a must here, probably 2 or even 3. Goal block/hurdle jump/long throw. Just very common and top tier plates. Max revive for keeping three weaviles/returning suicune/getting 5v4 on board later on Can use x attack, but I think it isn't needed unless you run mew (for mirror matchups) because you eliminate (or at least freeze) heavy hitters pretty easily.

Matchups: Reshizek- they can eliminate suicune with overdrive. Somehow risky matchup but if you set weaviles against them you will most likely freeze them. I think elimifreeze has the advantage. Deoxys- may be hard to knock Deo d. Other than that the only other disadvantage here is that elimifreeze is slow vs Deo s rush. And avoid attacking with suicune until their Deo a and Deo n are frozen cus they will just swap them in and faint suicune. Kinda balanced matchup if deos don't manage to cheese rush. If you faint Deo d, you pretty much won. Water- may be harder than others since they can control your suicune. Water decks are slow either, so none has the upper hand here. Balanced matchup but I feel like the upper hand is still with elimifreeze. Tropical- they will cure your freeze once, you still should be winning. Their hard hitter teams won't stand a chance when you get first Pokemon eliminated.

Gold runners- suck against this deck if they can't manage to cheese rush. Tons of medium hitters in our deck causing them to suffer. Purple abusers- has upper hand against this deck. Most decks aren't using more than one or two so you should be fine. Hard hitters- frozen easily, will just get eliminated/fainted. Blue abusers- most are hard hitters, just be careful from their blue (Sceptile, rhyperior) and you should be fine

Tl;dr Overall seems like a deck without real counters that can dominate the meta deck and become the new top tier. What are your thoughts?
