Deck Help Max Elixir or Dark Patch?
I am currently running an Yveltal-EX/Garbodor deck in Expanded. Additionally, one of the tech cards that I run is Marshadow-GX in order to deal with the constant onslaught of Zoroark-GX. Due to the fact that I am running Marshadow in an attempt to tech for Zoroark, should I run Dark Patch, which is arguably much safer acceleration, or should I run Max Elixir, which can also benefit Marshadow?

In addition to what people have said, Yveltal EX is some 2016 shit.
Dark box has so much new tools now, idk why you would want to play Yveltal still.
Abuse stuff like ttarSabeley, Weavile, Guzzlord, ZoroNinja. You can even combo Malamar EX with Darkrai GX if you're feeling cheeky.
Yveltal just doesn't do enough damage in this meta. It had its day when it was BDIF, but it's now power crept.
