Darkrai EX-Groudon EX deck?

When Dark Explorers comes out,I'm going to build a deck with Darkrai EX and Groudon EX as the main cards. Darkrai EX is going to be in the deck for its ability (Each of the player's Pokemon that has a darkness energy attached to it has 0 retreat cost.),and I'm also planning on adding Espeon and Blaziken.

Do you guys have any suggestions on what else I should add to my deck?

I wouldn't exactly call Blaziken awful, just slow. The two things that suck are the fact that it's a stage 2 and the need for energy acceleration. It might be better to just start with fighting and dark types...after two, things can get pretty complicated strategy-wise. Just going off of the two afformentioned types, Sableye (Junk Hunt), Dark Rush or Foul Play Zoroark, and Dig Uppercut Excadrill are ones to consider, as well as Landorus and Terrakion.
 
Thanks!
Do you think I should use Tornadus EX? I might use it for the attack Power Blast. Power Blast discards 1 Energy and does 100 damage.

I think Tornadus EX is worth a try. While lightning weakness is unfortunate against zekeels, the fighting resistance is nice...as is the low retreat cost.
 
What about plain old Landorus; you'll want at least some real Fighting Energy (or like four Prism, four Rainbow Energy) anyway, but it gives you a solid non-Pokemon EX attacker that hits for spread.
 
Thanks for the tips!
Dark Explorers came out early in my area,so I'm slowly getting started on my deck! No EX pulls yet,though!
