I have been torn about how best to utilize Yveltal EX (still 1 of the best attackers in the game, IMO) despite the rise in L Poké popularity. So, your deck list has encouraged me to get Yveltal EX back into a deck. Thanks.

A few thoughts for your consideration:

• With only a 2-2 M Manectric EX line, 3 M Spirit Links seem excessive.
• Going forward, Stadium wars will be commonplace given the growing importance of Stadiums; so, 2 Shadow Circle Stadiums seem insufficient.
• In my experience running a Seismitoad-Manectric deck, I found 1 Professor's Letter and Energy Retrieval to be very useful for either searching for or recovering Basic energy.
• 5 L energy seem excessive.

Following are some suggested deck changes for your consideration:

-1 Manectric Spirit Link
-1 Trainer's Mail. 2 should be sufficient, IMO.
-2 L energy

+1 Ultra Ball. For increased Poké searching and energy discard capability.
+1 Shadow Circle
+1 Professor's Letter
+1 Ultra Ball / Pokémon Fan Club / Shadow Circle

I hope you find these comments helpful.
