Energy: 10

• 
  10 Metal

Strategy:
Hit with Cobalion Ex to discard the ever so prevalent special energies. Then bring out Drifblim and hit for weakness. Regular Cobalion prevents the opponent from attacking, and can stop item locks. Kyurem can be a decent count to fire, the Ex or otherwise. As long as it has outrage.

In the future the new Bronzgong could probably be added in to make this deck more consistently fast.

I would also have added in Garbodor for pyroar, if Garbodor wasnt so popular in my area that about half the decks run it anyway. It would be a waste of space. Other than that Drifblim handles them pretty well once a few special energy hit the discard.

Any thoughts, since this was really only the first pass for this deck list? I haven't really played a Metal deck before.

Updated this decklist with the new PHF set. Though it still needs work. There are so many new trainer cards that i cant decide what to put in here.

1 Evosoda
1 Computer Search

Energy:
10 Metal

Im not sure if i still want 10 Metal energy. With all the recycling going on it might not be needed. 9 might work, but i cant decide what to add.

I'd say drop it to 9 metal energy and add another steel shelter. Also maybe a dowsing machine instead of computer search but that is a matter of preference. otherwise it looks good!

 

[Profen]

I could play dowsing machine, but i usually only use it in decks that need rare candy. That and if i draw into dowsing machine early on its a dead card that cant get me a supporter. While Computer search is just always good. I also have VS seeker to grab supporters from the discard.

Yeah but Dowsing machine can get back your trainer cards. Being able to get steel shelter, Max Potion or anything else you may need back can make a difference in a game.
