danielruxinj1 I'd first of all recommend changing Legacy Energy into Unfair Stamp as you get a great Disruption Card that can help after your Opponent KO'd one of your Pokémon during their turn. You should also change the 60 HP Froakie into a 70 HP Froakie to make sure they both survive Dragapult ex's attack, Phantom Dive as it can OHKO it with all 6 Damage Counters it places. You'd also need at least 2/3 Iono's for a control deck for disruption, and perhaps one Eri to discard item cards, if you want even more control you could add in Handheld Fan since Greninja ex has pretty good HP, cards I'd recommend cutting are both Ciphermaniac's Codebreaking, One Crushing Hammer, and Vitality Band as it doesn't have much use. Though, you can always cut out other cards of your choice since this is just a suggestion, besides that it's an interesting concept as Shinobi Strike can search any card from your deck and add it into your hand which makes the control part even more interesting. I hope this can help and I have a good day!
