What is the point of the part of his attack that says "If you can't pay, then this attack does nothing." It takes 4 energies to do the attack, so obviously you'll have enough. Can somebody clear this up for me?
 
The wording of Blast Burn reference discarding Energy Cards (2 for Heads 4 for Tails). If you had Charizard with 2 Fire Energy and a Double Rainbow Energy, you would have enough energy for the attack. But, if you flipped tails, you could discard only 3 energy cards hence the attack would do nothing. Note when it says nothing that also would mean you wouldn't discard any energy. Nothing means nothing ...

Hopefully that clears things up
 
It is also a reference for cards such as Smeargle or Clefable, who can copy attacks. If you Boost the Clefable for Metronome, you couldn't attack with Blast Burn.
