Not sure how this hasn't been mentioned. This looks exactly like what has happened. Maybe we'll also get guaranteed pull rates for SR's just like Japan (2-3 per box?). On a side note, I hope they ditch Rainbow Rare Secrets (at least for the Trainer's if not both Trainer's and Pokemon).
Hard to choose, but this is what I have to go with (3-5 are not hard set on their spots, I just know they are in my top 5):
1. Arcanine (easy #1 though)
2. Gyarados (easy #2)
3. Lapras
4. Houndoom
5. Umbreon
Here are some suggestions.
-1 Darkrai GX (2 should be enough to recover energy especially since you already have dark patches)
-1 Darkness Energy (Have used 12 in my deck and seemed to be sweet spot)
-1 Trainer's Mail (2 should be plenty)
+1 Max Elixir (hitting enough max elixir's to ramp...

The energies are a bit meh for me tbh. I'll have to see them in person to decide how I feel about them. The dice, sleeves, and gx marker look very sharp though.
That’s the main reason I play shrine of punishment and Tapu Koko. Passimian hits 150 on a basic gx with a band. Two turns of shrine plus one Tapu Koko spread and I can finish a buzzwole definitely not hard to pull off.
I like the deck idea, but the main issue I'd have is stringing consistent ko's. It'd be hard to guarantee a certain damage output for instance because of the rng element of gyarados's attack (maybe magcargo since you're playing ditto or mallow?). I feel like you need energy recycle system or...
Is there a reason for the exclusion of Tapu Koko GX? I feel like he could be nice in the deck because he can one-shot with his gx attack, and he can come out without your opponent expecting it because of its ability. I think it could be worth playing a copy.

I just added three of the Zoroark Knock Out ones to an order I was already going to make. Zoroark is $10 alone, so the packs are pretty much a bonus at that point.
