RE: New Best Deck in the Format?
amphros being stage 2 is its only downside. But lets say you can get one out before they get reshram out without pachi/shaymin in hand. They get 30 damage from the energy attachments. Amphy needs 1 electric and one DCE. It'll do 80 or 40 and remove an energy. So lets say you got mareep out vs zekrom, T1 mareep, static electricity, zekrom t1 attaches an energy dce is best choice in the matchup hit for 20. T2 rare candy, amphros prime, attach energy, hit for 40 or 80. Preferably 40 and discard the dce. Zekrom t2, attach energy, get damaged. Pass. Amphros t3, attack. If heads, zekrom ko'd. If tails, discard energy and 40 damage. Zekrom now has 90 damage on it. Even if their turn 2 they dce'd and did outrage, they would have gotten KO'd before Amphros got KO'd. This is all situational, but amphy prime isn't as easily KO'd as you may think. Besides, amberlamps will have zekroms too.
with multiple mareeps, multiple rare candies, and multiple amphros primes, it's easy enough to pull off. About as easy as the zekrom player running collectors to get the donk. Not to mention having only a pahirisu or shaymin start hurts more than having only a mareep start.
if played right, ampharos isn't that easy to play around. Especially since it isn't meant to attack, but can.
