Blaziken v. Magmortar Lv. X

A

Anoroth

Which is better overall, the Platinum Blaziken, or Magmortar Lv.X, and what are the pros and cons of each?
 
Magmortar Lv.X:
Pros:
130HP
Power Snipe w/ The Lv.X's attack
Healing
Extra Burn Damage
Heavy Damage with Magmortar SW's First attack

Cons:
Retreat Cost
Lv.X
Forced to have either a 3-3-1 or 3-2-2 limiting swarmability
x2 Weakness to water
Stupid Looking Card =P

Blaziken:
130HP
Auto Burn
Low Retreat cost
Decent damage
Clutch to lock the opponent
Other Blaziken for the sniping

Cons:
+30 Water Weakness
Has trouble dealing massive damage
Stage 2

So there are the pros and cons of each. I suggest Blaziken because it is easier to use and it can be much more deadly.
 
Blaziken can swarm more when combined with the GE Blaziken for some 80 snipes. Blaziken can do so consistantly and doesn't have to wait a turn in between snipes if it needs to quickly pick off stuff.
 
Also compared to Magmortar's snipe attack, 100 damage is just way too random to do much good. Blaziken's weak 100 damage with its 20 burn can easily be repaired with a few Pluspowers.
 
Both great, but I prefer Magmortar Lv.X.
 
you aoutmatically burn with Magmortar X and for three damage counters instead of 2 with Heartan
 
The kicker is simply the fact that Blaziken, being Stage 2, is a lot more accomadating for Stage 2 techs (Such as a 1-0-1 Typhlosion line) since it uses Candy anyway. That, and it doesn't depend on a single card to be the attacker (The LVX) and it doesn't need 5 (!) energy to do 100 to the active. Furthermore, it can snipe multiple turns in a row as well.
