I got this list from Derium's Competitive Pokemon YouTube channel here:


I thought I would open it up for some discussion. What can be included? What should be taken out? I think this might be the premiere steel list to come out of Ultra Prism.

Pokemon
2x Magnemite (BREAKthrough)
1x Magnemite (Ultra Prism)
3x Magnezone (Ultra Prism)
3x Dusk Mane Necrozma GX
1x Solgaleo Prism Star
2x Remoraid (BREAKthrough)
2x Octillery BREAKthrough)
1x Mew (Fates Collide)
2x Tapu Lele GX

Trainers
3x Professor Sycamore
4x N
3x Skyla
2x Guzma
2x Brigette
1x Cyrus

Items
4x Ultra Ball
4x Rare Candy
4x Mt. Coronet
2x Professor's Letter
2x Fighting Fury Belt (or Choice Band)
1x Rescue Stretcher

Energy
11x Steel Energy
 
Solgaleo Prism Star is useless w/o its Basic + Stage 1 counterparts Cosmog and Cosmoem, unless you can cheat the evolution rules(Cradily, where are you last printed in? Oh, wait, Plasma Blast, NOT a current Standard set... :( ) ...

That open slot plus the Mew could be better subbed w/ Dhelmise, assuming you want no Bands, but rather, FFB survival ability against Garchomp + Cynthia, which will otherwise KO DM Necrozma GX in 1 hit...

Other than that, good...

Solgaeo Prism Star is a Basic Pokemon in the new set, no need for Cosmog/Cosmodem. I definitely did not think of Dhelmise though! I'll look more into that. Thanks!
 
Great deck as I was thinking of doing the same thing! lol.

I personally go with magnemite x2 (ultra prism) instead of magnemite (breakthrough) because of buzzwole being so popular in the meta at the moment.

Also -1 mt. coronet and +1 lele gx or +1 guzma.

I also thought about adding clefairy (evolutions) because of the attack metronome. Magnezone can still use it's ability to clefairy, clefairy is able to copy anyone (especially necrozoma gx, if it shows up) and you'll forfeit 1 prize card if it gets knocked out.

All the best.
 
Okay, so I've been running this deck recently at leagues and its doing pretty well. Except. - 2 tapu leles. - 2 brigettes. -1 rescue stretcher. -2 ffb. -1 octillery. - 1 remoraid. - 1 Cyrus. - 2 n. - 1 skyla. +1 dialga. +2 Cynthia. +1 sycamore. +2 nest ball. +1 guzma. +2 float stone. +3 metal energy. +1 field blower. Its very fast and very consistent. Lele slows you down and is a big liability. Easy Guzma target. You want to burn through you deck quickly. Start dialga or mew with dialga benched (ideally) and overclock a few times to try to set up magnazone or get any body else out there really. With no brigette though your open to sycamore first turn if you have it. Potentially getting you your missing pieces. And you won't get n'd because they will 80% of the time lele for brigette. Giving you an easy Guzma target. For when dusk mane comes out. But try to timeless right off the bat to even further your board position. I built this in expanded as well with colress, sky field and vs seeker. It was ridiculous!!!!! But I digress. The mew is your first attacker. Load him up and use meteor tempest as much as possible. Then go into the dusk mane. If you can pull a timeless gx and a meteor tempest with mew on the 3rd (and forth? Turn) you've played this deck correctly. Its all about leaving your opponent with 4 or more prize cards.
 
Been trying to put together this combo on PTCGO for a while, but having a hard time getting DM Necrozoma. But definitely should be competitive.
