Hi guys, first time poster here so go easy on me.
This is my current Dusk Mane Necrozma list, which seems to run pretty consistently for me on both PTCGO and in real life testing. I know it's not the most competitive deck in the format, however its a tonne of fun to play and seems to suit my more aggressive play-style.
The aim is to always go first and an optimal turn 1 entails benching 2 Magnemite (giving you a guaranteed rare candy target turn 2) and then getting off a Steven's Resolve to set yourself up for the turn 2 Magnezone. Getting off the turn one steven's, I believe, puts the opponent in a difficult position for their first turn; forcing them to choose between hindering my set up through let loose or judge which also shrinks their hand size, or going for their own set up.
From there, the deck strategy is pretty self explanatory; once momentum builds on this thing, its really hard to stop and 220 damage per turn is no joke. Should you fall behind on prizes Suns Eclipse GX is a fantastic attack to take a big knock out and swing the game in some instances.
Onix is in there purely for the PikaRom matchup; Magnezone can power up this thing in a turn, and it can be slapped down onto your bench out of nowhere through nest ball, or even a pre-emptive steven's. OHKO'ing a 3 prize attacker through use of a non GX basic sounds good to me!
I wanted to use a steven's based engine as i didnt want to be using my supporter for the turn hoping that i draw into the rare candy or the magnezone. I want to be guaranteed those cards in my hand, and with a bit of foresight, stevens can be so so powerful early game.
Anyways, let me know your thoughts guys! Very interested to see where i could go with this deck, and any changes you would make. As i mentioned, i know itll never be the most powerful or most meta defining deck but id love to make it as competitive as possible!
Thanks!
