Yes, this is what you think it is! This is the long-waited successor to the Shiftry deck that banned a card before a single tournament! But it's back, and stronger!
The basic idea of the Modern Shiftry deck is to evolve a bunch of Seedot with Leafeon GX's Grand Bloom GX attack, then Rush In with Keldeo and use Cyrus to bring your opponent down to 3 Pokemon. You then just need to hit 3 Giant Fans (with the help of Victini) to win the game!
This isn't so much a donk deck because it doesn't set up until T2 at least but it could be fun!

The list:
Pokemon:24
4 Seedot (Grass type, evolve)
4 Nuzleaf (Grass type,evolve)
4 Shiftry (Dark type, Giant Fan)
2 Eevee (Energy Evolution,evolve T1)
2 Leafeon GX (setup)
2 Keldeo EX (switch, enable Cyrus)
2 Shaymin EX (draw)
2 Tapu Lele GX (search)
2 Victini (old Victory Star, reflip Giant Fans)

Trainers:28
2 Professor Sycamore (draw)
2 Brigette (setup)
2 Colress (draw)
1 N (draw)
1 Hex Maniac (lock)
1 Teammates (recovery)
1 Cyrus (discard opponent's bench)
1 Gladion (get Cyrus if prized)

4 Ultra Ball (search)
4 Vs Seeker (recover supporters)
3 Devolution Spray (recover Shiftry)
2 Nest Ball (search)
2 Battle Compressor (setup)
2 Rescue Stretcher (recovery)

Energy:8
8 Grass

Doesn't Victini's ability only work with attacks?

Yes as the card reads:

"Once during your turn, after you flip any coins for an attack, you may ignore all effects of those coin flips and begin flipping those coins again. You can't use more than 1 Victory Star Ability each turn."
 
Yea that's what I thought. I would cut the 2 Victini and add more Eevee and Leafeon. Getting them out turn one is crucial, and you wont get it with a 2-2 line
 
You could probably maximize your win condition by using less supporters and more search and draw cards even so much as playing a small amount of energies so that at the end of your first turn you have 4 seedots and keldeo down and are ready to blow everything away next turn
 
Remember this is expanded, so an oricorio or a Karen is pretty much necessary. Since your deck is based around a certain strategy, karen is the best option here, play that instead of Tapu Fini. Also you need field blower here because if you come up against garb you're pretty much screwed. It's up to you to decide what to cut for those though, as I'm not really the shiftry expert.
 
Wasn't this card banned? Why are you building a deck with an unplayable card?
 
Your welcome to try and play this deck for fun. But as I said b4 you should be maximizing Your win condition not trying to increase your Chance of winning in case it doesn't work. Adding things like Karen and oricorio don't matter when your losing pretty much no matter what if you miss the 3rd and forth giant fan.

Also to people saying add tapu fini 2 things
1. Hes using leafeons gx move
2. Tapu fini's gx move can not he used to win a game
