If this is for post rotation/next year, I don't think you're going to be able to use N (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong). You could consider Shauna or Professor Birch's observations as an alternative
 
I heard from a friend in Japan that they're currently doing XY-on, well that's what he said at least. So I suppose that it would be safe to assume that N will rotate this year.
 
Or Ace Trainer, though we do not know how good it will be. I really like how it looks though :)

I agree that it seems good, I just feel like there are going to be a lot of situations in games where you're unable to use it due to the prize situation. You can never use it to come from behind, for instance, whereas that's something that N is excellent for.

ace trainer only works when you're already ahead, not when you're behind, or when you're on equal ground so it's a bit weird
 
Actually, you can only play it when you are behind (have more prize cards left than your opponent).

Ace Trainer – Trainer
Supporter

You can only play this card if you have more Prize cards left than your opponent.

Both players shuffle their hands into their deck. Then, you draw 6 cards and your opponent draws 3 cards.

You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).

But getting back on topic, wouldn't Gourgeist with Shrine of Memories really slow the deck down? My main concern is that if you're playing Shrine of Memories, you can't play Dimension Valley to use Night March for only a DCE.
 
Okay then...

+3 Shauna
-3 N

+4 Dimension Valley
- 4 Shrine of Memories

And for Gourgeist replacements what should I do?
 
Acro Bike is pretty good in Night March. If one of the top two cards is a Nightmarcher, you get it into the discard pile that way.
