The Giratina ex Starter Deck is among the best of the ex Starter Decks. The highlight card, Giratina ex, can deal 130 damage as early as turn three when going first through its ability that provides energy acceleration.
This is a powerful deck that can be adapted to perform well in Ranked Matches too, so it's definitely one you’ll want to have.

Wait Until May 3rd and Choose an ex You Haven't Pulled
If you're focused solely on collecting, consider waiting until just before the end of the event on May 3rd, but do be sure to secure your ticket before April 26th, which is when the ex Starter Deck missions expire.
By May 3rd, you can go ahead and select which ex Starter Deck will help you complete your collection based on what you're missing after weeks of opening Shining Revelry packs and use a Deck Ticket to purchase it.
Consider that you will receive not just the highlighted ex card, but all the other cards in the ex Starter Deck as well to receive a total of 20 cards.

How to Get an ex Starter Deck
Open 5 Packs to Get a Deck Ticket
For the duration of the event, the ex Starter Deck missions will be available on the Missions menu. To earn the Deck Ticket that will allow you to redeem a free ex Starter Deck, you'll have to complete the mission that asks you to open 5 booster packs.
These don't necessarily have to be Shining Revelry packs, but it will only count packs opened from the start of the event.
Purchase a Deck from the Shop
Once you have the Deck Ticket, you can open the Shop Menu and navigate to the Limited Time Events screen to find the ex Starter Decks. You'll be able to exchange your Deck Ticket for 1 of 9 different ex Starter Decks.
You may also tap on each deck, and tap the magnifying glass on its deckbox to view the cards included with your redemption. You will receive all 20 cards in the deck.
