RE: DelBoar
Blastoise almost always attacks with BKEX, but if a Keldeo comes in, a Delphox with 6 Energy KO's it, so I can handle them as long as I have the Retrievals, because the Prize trade is very favorable on my side, since the only EX Pokemon I play there is Keldeo, and Blastoise is the only non-EX in that deck. The Weakness is not that much of a problem when they can OH-KO anyways.

RE: DelBoar
I love this idea for a deck! I'd go with a 4-1-4 line of Delphox, but it's really up to you. Maybe this is what comes after RayBoar...

I'd take out Keldeo first of all. What's your reasoning for having it in there? You have more than enough switching cards in there. ;–;

RE: DelBoar
I'd always played for solely one reason: I HATE being statused. Lasers are really dominant in my area, so if I hit a Tails in that coin flip, it drags me back several turns of set-up. I could MAYBE take it out, anyways, but what could go in there? A 4th Retrieval, which is more than necessary? A Mew-EX?

I'd stick with all basics if I were you. I'd go for the fourth SER.

Oops, I meant all non–EX. But you're welcome, let me know how it goes!

RE: DelBoar
What changes have you made/considered making given the release of the Flashfire set? I suspect you'll at least incorporate some of the new Trainers that will help Fire decks.

RE: DelBoar
Yeah, that. I do intend to put in 2 Fiery Torch, 1-2 Blacksmith and a Pal Pad, taking out maybe a couple Supporters and I believe a couple switching cards. I don't know, I'll wait until I can playtest with those and get back to you. And maybe also a Lysandre, to make sure the prize trade is good enough and target down an EX.

RE: DelBoar
The deck looks pretty good! I'm working on a similar deck but it's a lot more crowded. The only thing I would suggest is some techs. A lot of decks are teching in keldeo now that fire is becoming so good. I'm trying out Scyther (Dark explorers) which does 60 for 3 colorless energy. With a silver bangle that can OHKO keldeo EX. However, I think it works better in my deck because I use Mewtwo EX so I already run the DCEs. Also, I think you could cut down a little on the fire energy and SER since you don't really discard any energy with attacks.
Also worth considering is the new Druddigon card which can do 90 for 2 colorless. Since your toughest opponent will be blastoise which usually attacks with black kyurem, this could be a very useful tech!

RE: DelBoar
I DO discard Energy, every time a Delphox dies. e.e I prefer to run a straight list that has few flaws than a techy one than can be inconsistent most of the time. But about Druddigon, well, Dragons aren't THAT popular, but if that ever happens and I'm able to get one, I'll sure give it a shot. Thanks!
