Firstly, spore would probably be better, since it puts the opponent to sleep 100% of the time.
he has no guard for the ability. (It makes the users moves always hit.) which makes sing better, bc it is a spread move.
I don't think you need 2 OHKO moves. The set might be better if you replace one of them with an entry hazard.
The two OHKO moves are for opponents that are immune to one of them, eg if one is a flying type sheer cold can hit but fissure can't. Maybe replace fissure with soak or something?
sumwun is right, repace fissure with something else

Yes. This strategy is quite potent and worth it, since Deoxys-S is the fastest Pokémon in Gen-6 Hackmons. Smogon has sets similar to yours for Deoxys-S.

Weakness with this strategy includes:

Two Wonder Guard users, which can swap and waste Gastro Acid’s PP.

Faster No Guard Users, or speed ties with other Deoxys-Ss or Scarf users.

Priority, since Deoxys-S is quite frail.

Residual Damage since there is no Recovery, although I think this is the least worrisome one.
