OK, I'm going to posit a scenario here.
Magneto and Scarlet Witch start off by placing shields around their entire group. These shields may or may not be durable enough to stop the JL's best attacks forever, but I don't think they'll need to for very long.
The Justice League can't do much to them while their shields are up. Their best bet is for Hal to try to drain the energy from their shields. That may take a while, since they can constantly replenish their energy. Also, as pointed out above, Magneto may be able to affect GL's ring energy.
Meanwhile, Mags crushes Cyborg to death and rips out all the metal in Batman's utility belt/gauntlets etc. and stabs it through his body, killing him.
Scarlet Witch uses her hex power on GL, the effect of which is impossible to predict, but since it messes up whatever the person is trying to do, I'm going to say loosens his feel on the ring. Mags pulls off the ring, then kills GL with nearby metal.
Mastermind uses his powers to create an illusion in the minds of the rest of the League who are susceptible: Superman, Flash, and Aquaman. They now all think that each of the rest of them are the enemy, and try to attack each other. Please remember that Mastermind's illusions are powerful enough to affect Xavier, Jean, and Rachel for a significant amount of time. Wonder is an asterisk here: she was at one time immune to illusions, but who knows whether she is now. Let's just assume she is immune to the illusions. So she is unaffected, but certainly confused by what the others are doing and trying to break them up from fighting.
All this takes a bit of time to read and write, but they can do it pretty much simultaneously, while the League can basically do nothing, except for Hal, who I think loses the previous combined efforts from Magneto and Scarlet Witch. Especially since I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that in the New 52 he is not as powerful as before, having a weaker ring given to him by Sinestro I believe?
Magneto now opens their shields, letting Quicksilver, Toad, Unus, and Blob out on their own. The League is busy fighting each other, and these Brotherhood members try to help out. Flash is too fast for them, and Superman and Wonder Woman are too durable for them to be able to do anything to them. So they focus their attacks on Aquaman. Wonder Woman realizes they're out and attacks them. Toad is immediately KO'd, and Quicksilver soon after. Blob and Unus are another matter. She can probably take out Blob eventually, but with some effort, probably eventually resorting to her lasso. But Unus will harder to take down; her lasso won't work on him, he can repel it. Her speed doesn't help much here. Between Blob and Unus, I think they manage to take out Aquaman, who is still under Mastermind's illusions and trying to attack Supes and Flash and WW, before they themselves are taken out by WW. Maybe this is giving them a little too much credit, but at least they manage to do some damage.
Meanwhile, Scarlet Witch is using magical attacks on Superman, and Magneto is attacking Aquaman (if alive) and Wonder Woman. He tries to fling her around using her headband and bracelets, smashing her into stuff, and more boringly tries to stab Aquaman with random metal. This may not be enough to really hurt him or her much, but adds to the damage they are doing to each other, under Mastermind's illusions. Scarlet Witch may be more effective against Superman, and I think could eventually take him out via soem kind of binding spell, etc.
Scarlet Witch throws a hex bolt at Flash, tripping him up or slowing him down in some way, enough for Mags to jab him to death with random metal as well.
So now we have: Magneto, Scarlet Witch, and Mastermind, all still under shields. Superman and Aquaman under Mastermind's illusions. Superman is also probably bound or highly weakened by SW's spells. Aquaman is also weakened or KO'd by a combo of Magneto, Unus, and Blob. Wonder Woman is free of illusions, but is now being attacked by the other Leaguers because of the illusions, plus attacks from SW and Mags. I think this may be enough to take her out.
Some of this scenario would work. Some is up in the air, but still likely/possible I think. The parts I am most unsure of are whether Magneto and SW are capable of actually hurting Superman, Aquaman, and WW. I think they could take Superman out of the equation through magic. Aquaman could eventually be taken out, I think. The final problem is Wonder Woman. Can they take her out? Possibly only through having the illusioned Leaguers attack her.
One final thing I just thought about--if Mags takes GL's ring, I suppose he could use it?
Anyway, that's what I was thinking. Mastermind is a key person here. I don't see what any Justice Leaguer can do against him if he's shielded. Once he steps into the fray, the rest of them are too busy to deal with much else.
