Dark Bolt (Minum, Plusle, Bisharp, Darkrai)

I like the 1-1 Mandibuzz, because he is situational but he can be very useful to snipe around, particularly against Terrekion (in theory).

Prism energy is in there so that not only can it get Minum attacking, but also get him his free retreat next turn thanks to Darkrai EX. I have pondered many times whether I should just move to lightning energy, I go back and forth on it.

In my limited number of games, getting a turn 1 Minum attacking has been rare, but when I could not, I was able to get Plusle's Tag Draw going for 8 cards. This deck has shown me that an 8 card Tag Draw, plus your next turn draw card, can be a tremendous help to your setup.
 
In regards to the prisms, I wasn't saying to take any prisms out, but to maybe add a lightning energy by maybe taking out a single dark. Also, while we're on energies- why no 4th Sp. Dark? Is it because you plan on dark patching a lot? If so, I don't know if you really need dark patch. Yes, it helps charge up your Darkrai and Mewtwo quick, but the main guys in your deck run off of only one energy a piece.
