RE: New Best Deck in the Format?
Granted there is a chance I won't get Emboar T2. But it is highly likely that I will start with Reshiram, esp with 3/4 Collector. You will not get Ampharos T1, so when you do get it out I will already have attached 1/2 energy to Reshiram even without Emboar. So by the first Blue Flare, I only take at most 2 damage counters majority of the time. Getting 1 Ampharos out T2 is less likely than Emboar T2, let alone 2, or even 3. Ampharos has much less draw support than Emboar, hence takes longer to setup.
And you should be worried about Blue Flare, just as I should be worried about Bolt Strike. With a Plus Power, that is a OHKO. Sooner or later, you will have to bring up Ampharos, he can't sit on the bench for the whole game.
