FINALLY! The artwork on both of these looks incredible! It's trying so hard to be fierce, but it just ends up looking like a cute little fuzz ball. I can't wait to see the full art versions of these.

You'll have to evolve and power up M Ampharos before evolving Vileplume. Trevenant might still have merit here. Either way we might see more Wobuffet.
I feel like this card can see some play. Set up 1/2 M Amphy then evolve into the new Vileplume that locks Items. The opponent has little to no options to get out of it with the predicted XY-On format, losing Keldeo + Float Stone and Virizion EX. Could be deadly but M Amphy does take 4 energies.
Yeah me too. Ampharos is my fave Pokemon so I was so hype whenthe set description was revealed, also Ampharos would go good with Flash Energy.Yes, making a deck of this asap.
Dogekiss decks run almost 20. It makes a good partner.- Thunder Road is laughable with only 4 cards to draw energy from. You need 15 [L] in your deck to get 1 on average.
You could use AZ, it's not the best card to play in the world but it beats the alternative.I feel like this card can see some play. Set up 1/2 M Amphy then evolve into the new Vileplume that locks Items.

And no, Emboar-EX & Togekiss-EX won't be part of Ancient Origins...
Now, combine MAmpharos with rough seas, and realize that you have a 220 pokemon that kills or paralyzes your opponent's active every turn, and can heal the damage for free at the beginning of your next turn; a vileplume on your bench could prevent your opponent to switch his/her active mon, and basically the only way to break this lock would be lysandering out the vileplume, which you would have to do very early before being crashed by this unforgivable mega =3
I will share my point of view:
1. Emboar EX and Togekiss EX, WON'T BE in "Bandit Ring" because they are in a japanese theme deck, but they HAVE TO BE in our "Ancient Origins" because Pokémon won't never do a English EX deck, even the EX says "If you plays that Pokémon you lose". It's not a crazy idea just see "Hyper Metal Chain Deck" "Mega Charizard Battle Deck"...
2. MegaAmpharos EX y sooooo heavy: 170 and Paralysis for "only" 4 Energy, yes ONLY because in your first turn you can do Ampharos EX attack and attach at least 1 Energy to it and then in your next turn Mega, MegaTurbo, Double Colorless. And with Vileplume, no Switch soooo Party Hard!. And about 30 damage itself: Rough Seas
3. About Giratina EX, i believe that nobody think that its atwork would be like this. Because i think somebody believes that will be like HA covering its own Ability ^^'. It will be like this but like all the EXs, leaving a little, but not all Giratina xD. And its attack...ufff...Giratina/Vileplume will be a big headache.
@Mortal_Zachary @whirlpoolm51 Do you guys even read the news stories? The Emboar/Togekiss deck comes out one month later, on the same day as the legendary mini set, not on the same day as Bandit Ring. It's not tied with it. Period.
The Japanese side decks are always implemented into the English release. The other Charizard-EX, Dialga-EX/Aegislash-EX, Dragon Rayquaza-EX...
It do say the 20th June on the tcg calender on the front page, so that is probably where they got the info from. Also Ancient Origins comes out in August, so just because the decks come out a month after (July) doesn't mean that it won't be in Ancient Origins.
*facepalm* Seriously, this is getting annoying... Did you even read my last post? This is the last time I'm posting this...
2. All the EXs in Ancient Origins are the same as the ones in Bandit Ring, 11, confirmed through the official set info and they have all been revealed. No space for Emboar or Togekiss EX. So, for the last time: No, they won't be in Ancient Origins!
i don't understand why in the world would people even think about playing vileplume when it item locks yourself too?
you can use items yourself...thats bad...not goood.....explain the thinking behind why even bother with vilueplume
