Hi. I would not try to make Jolteon/Glaceon EX but instead you could convert this into a marshadow GX toolbox by using the attacks of your Pokemon in the discard to become immune to evolution's and basics. I don't really have much time to give suggestions but good luck making this better :)
 
Hello! So, as the guy above me said, building a deck around Glaceon/Jolteon EX is not the best, but building a Marshadow deck with Glaceon and Jolteon in it works way better.

Here is a list somewhat similar to what I use:
****** Pokémon Trading Card Game Deck List ******

##Pokémon - 14

* 1 Lugia-EX AOR 68
* 1 Tauros-GX SUM 100
* 1 Latios-EX ROS 58
* 4 Marshadow-GX BUS 80
* 2 Turtonator-GX GRI 18
* 2 Jolteon-EX GEN 28
* 1 Jirachi-EX PLB 98
* 1 Oricorio GRI 56
* 1 Glaceon-EX FCO 20

##Trainer Cards - 33
* 2 Lysandre AOR (Added this later, so I don't know the number)
* 3 Professor Sycamore BKP 107
* 2 N DEX 96
* 1 Colress PLS 118
* 4 Fighting Fury Belt BKP 99
* 4 VS Seeker PHF 109
* 4 Ultra Ball SUM 135
* 2 Special Charge STS 105
* 1 Brigette BKT 134
* 1 Acerola BUS 112
* 3 Battle Compressor Team Flare Gear PHF 92
* 4 Trainers' Mail ROS 92
* 1 Teammates PRC 141
* 2 Po Town BUS 121

##Energy - 12

* 4 Prism Energy NXD 93
* 4 Double Colorless Energy SLG 69
* 4 Strong Energy FCO 115

Total Cards - 60

****** Deck List Generated by the Pokémon TCG Online www.pokemon.com/TCGO ******

The idea is to discard as many Pokemon as physically possible, then attack with Marshadow. Here is he reasoning behind most of the Pokemon I have in the list:

Turtonator GX - This is a great card to use, especially with Marshadow. By spamming the crap out of Shell Trap, you force your opponent to make a choice: Take you out and risk taking a fair chunk of damage, or not. If they do hit you, you can always attack with Tauros GX the next turn.

Tauros GX - This card is very useful in this deck, especially when used with Marshadow. If you allow yourself to get hit, you can easily revenge kill just about everything.

Latios EX - So, this is a very funny card sometimes. Being able to attack on the first turn is still insane. This works very well with Marshadow and Prism Energy, which allows you do at least hit for 40-50 damage first turn, depending on how you play.

Jirachi EX - This is a budget Tapu Lele. Very important!

Other logic as to why I included stuff:
Prism Energy - Acts as a Free Rainbow Energy for Basic Pokemon (a.k.a. Marshadow). Makes it so you can attack with Glaceon/Jolteon/Latios.

Battle Compressor - Gets stuff in the Discard.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! This is a very fun/mean deck to play!

Thanks,

Hey I know it's a bit late but here's a thread that was discussing a very similar idea: http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/threads/marshadow-gx-toolbox-shadowbox.143833/

There was a player in there that was a ninjabox (Glaceon-EX/Jolteon-EX/Ninja Boy) expert that was switching to using Marshadow-GX as well.

My best advice when playing Marshadow-GX is to add in Zoroark-GX to help with discard and Fighting Fury Belt to be able to take at least one hit.

Marshadow-GX is also great when paired with Necrozma-GX and baby Tapu-Lele (Ultra Prism) or Spiritomb (Steam Siege) for huge spread damage plus surprise damadge change knock-outs.

I use spread damage as my main strategy with Marshadow and then block with Jolteon-EX/Glaceon-EX when I can. Pure basic decks like volcaion and Darkrai have a really hard time with Jolteon-EX.

Prism Energy and Lysandre are great for expanded (Karina + Battle compressor are also great) but for standard you'll need to use Rainbow Energy and Guzma.
