Hi everyone! I realize it's jumping the gun a bit, but I'm interested in making this Bronzong deck a little more consistent for a format without Hex Maniac. When it's hot, it's damn near unbeatable, but it's a little clunky about 50% of the time, and it also needs room for 2-3 Field Blower (maybe 1 startling megaphone, 2 Field blower?). Here's the decklist for a start:

The basic idea of the deck is to run through about half of your deck, getting 2-3 Bronzor and at least 1 Necrozma or Aegislash on the field. Pretty much like your average Malamar deck, but Shaymin and Sky Field put this deck into overdrive, letting you set up a bunch of 'mons for evolution/max elixir/Bronzong acceleration, even if you lose Sky Field the next turn.
I've added Bronzong FCO for its bench barrier effect (that also protects against shadow stitching and silent fear if anyone runs that) and Bronzong Break is for Night March, though I'm not sure how relevant its inclusion is with most decks running Marshadow.
Beast Ring might seem like a slightly odd inclusion for a discard deck, but I've found that it's nice to run into one after an early knockout.
No Choice Band because Necrozma takes OHKOs without it 90% of the time.
I don't run battle compressor, but if someone can find room to play it, I'd love to try! The more important additions would be the aforementioned Field Blowers.
The structure of this deck is based off the 2016 Italian Nationals decklist, a deck I really enjoyed playing back then. It'd be nice to get some more competitive play out of these cards! I'd love some feedback if you have it!
Thanks!
