'''Metanite''' is a [[Pokémon TCG]] deck that utilizes the {{TCG|Holon Engine}}, and combines the "Crush and Burn" attack of {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Metagross δ|11}} with the "Delta Charge" [[Pokémon Power|Poké-Power]] of {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Dragonite δ|3}}.  The [[Holon Engine]] burns through the deck very quickly, allowing a player to root out their copies of {{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Rare Candy|90}}, which in turn will let the player quickly get their Metagross δ and Dragonite δ into play.  As an additional speed boost for the deck, {{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Holon's Castform|44}}'s "Delta Draw" attack can give the player many extra draws.

The key cards in the deck are {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Metagross δ|11}} and {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Dragonite δ|3}}, both of which combine to form the deck's name.  Of course, {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Holon Transceiver|98}} and the rest of the {{TCG|Holon Engine}} are also crucial to the deck's success. {{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Holon's Castform|44}} is also a main tool because it can quickly give a player the cards they need to put together the Metagross/Dragonite combo, such as {{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Rare Candy|90}}, which allows a player to skip an evolution.  Naturally, the deck will not work without {{TCG|Lightning Energy}}.

After the 2007 TCG World Championships, the {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} set will be restricted from [[Pokémon Organized Play]] in the {{TCG|rotation}}, and Metagross δ, Dragonite δ, and most of the Holon Engine will be going with it, rendering the deck completely unusable.  It was a deck that ruled the game for a long time, and banning it will begin a whole new format.
