Water shuriken is indeed great. That's what makes Greninja-break so fun. If you put Greninja break on a water shuriken greninja, you'll be able to use both a 30 damage shuriken, and a 60 damage shuriken.

As for pokemon count, 4 of the good frogadier (clone) is pretty important. The way this deck gets to play its greninjas is through a wall of frogadiers.

As for your Trainers, you need more ways to draw cards. The game provides you with a ton of utilities to do that. Professor Sycamore, N, and Ace Trainer are all amazing cards. VS seeker is also an insanely good card, so you probably want 4 of those. This isn't particular to this deck, it's just that there are some cards that belong in almost every deck.

Great ball just isn't a very good card in general. You'd probably be better off with ultra balls, or level balls, or really just cutting them.
Healing Scarf doesn't really do much for you. Your greninjas take one energy to be fully powered up, and you want to be spending all of your spare energy on water shuriken and not healing.
3 Giovannis is way to many. It already takes a lot to make it do work (especially without any ultra balls)

If you like Breakpoint Lapras, you're going to love Steam Siege Talonflame. One more health. Zero retreat cost. Deals 40 damage instead of zero. Searches for two cards without any restrictions on what kind. This card is seriously nuts.

Since you seem like you're not really sure of the best way of getting these cards: The best way to get tradable packs while playing online is to play tournaments. I'd recommend theme deck tournaments, since you're not at a disadvantage because of your collection, but the theme deck tournaments right now have really bad payouts (the payout structure cycles as time goes on). Either wait until theme deck tournaments have an entry in tickets and a payout in packs, or try your hand at another format. It really only costs you your time to try, as tournament tickets are hilariously easy to accumulate.

A question for PTCGO vets – What do you do with all your tradable commons/uncommons? I’ve got an ocean of low value cards, and while I’ve had it recommended to me that you can post trades for boosters in return for huge bundles of cards, I’ve had no luck with that approach thus far.
Thanks in advance.

Put trades up for uncommon chests, trade the chests for other cheap cards.

If you think Tapu Lele GX is bullshit you should look up regular Tapu Lele! That thing is very much banned from play.

What?

That's the one!

That card was not banned for power level reasons. It was because it didn't yet have an english printing.
