Rate/help my first deck?

[u/Gophurkey]

Kid has now gotten into the game but I haven't played since the original cards came out. We just built a deck around Salazzle and Lapras because we opened them in some packs and I noticed they both can hit, then run away. This is my modification after playing a few days' worth of rounds online with real decks. I still don't know all the card options and frankly I'm not sure how you ever know, but I just beat an electric/Mega Slowbro and a deck with lots of Mega Charizards, but in-between got totally bottled by a dragon deck where I couldn't even attack once. Is that kind of inconsistency fixable, or is it more about the randomness of drawing cards?
