So I know a lot of people put off Yveltal Break due to the three basic Dark Energies it needs for its attack but I really think it has some great potential people just haven't seen yet. This deck is what I've been using for a while on PTCGO and it has been doing quite well. Let's begin!

I'm not very good at explaining in detail my decision making process for each card and the strategy but I'll try to do my best...
I'm actually thinking of replacing Delinquent for another Yveltal Break but here's my ideas behind this deck.
Yveltal Breaks attack is Baleful Night, which does 120 damage and does 30 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokemon with damage counters on it. So my thoughts behind this is to get out a Team Magma's Secret Base for your opponent to either find a Stadium to replace during his turn or face it and bench his/her Pokemon, putting 2 damage counters on each of them that they bench, which is exactly what we want for Yveltal Break for his Baleful Night. Now the big problem with Yveltal Break is his high attack cost and it all being basic Dark Energy but that's where Max Elixirs come into play to set up Yveltal BT or Yveltal STS to power him up by turn 2 to start wrecking havoc. And once you get 1 Yveltal Break into play, you can slowly start powering up another one on your Bench while your first one messes with your opponents Bench. Yveltal BT is the preferred Yveltal for the Break to evolve onto because then you have the choice of either sniping Exs on the Bench or just doing 3o damage to everyone with damage already on them. It's a very good choice to have in many situations. Darkrai Ex is in here if you need to do massive damage to a Pokemon instead of doing a lot of damage to multiple Pokemon (ex. M Mewtwo, M Rayquaza). With so much energy around with Max Elixir, Darkrai will start doing massive damage very fast. Absol is in the deck for moving 3 damage counters from your opponents Pokemon to another of his/her Pokemon. This Absol is very useful when you need to get that little extra damage for the knockout on a Pokemon and with so much damage counters around on the board, moving them around is very useful.
I'm positive this card can be good and will continue to get better with each new set but this is the best I can do for now and it works extremely well. If I missed anything or you have something you want to critique or have questions please feel free to ask! I love this deck and I really see the potential in it.
