Double Emboar

Ok, when I was looking at the Scans of the BW Set, I had an Idea for an awesome combo:
Emboar (19/114)
Emboar (20/114)
together with much Fire and DCE, combined with any form of Energy recycling, you may attack EVERY TURN with 150 (after you've set up both Emboars).
I think, that this idea won't work this season, but after all the "OhI'msofastOMGIwillkillyourpokemonbeforeyouevensetupSableyeasoaso"-Decks were rotated out, it may become REAL mighty.

What do you think about this combo, is it "meh" or is it "hey"?

Reshiram would still be more consistant.

4-4-2/2 Emboar, very low chance of getting both Emboars or searching both or drawing both.
3-2-3 Emboar 4 Reshiram has a much higher chance of hitting 1-0-1 Emboar and 1 Reshiram. minimum, easier to search too.
 
Yeah, I know that Reshiram is better, but 40 selfdamage a turn, that will shorten his life a lot. That's why I thought, that this other Emboar might be a nice tech. You'll never need more then two "Raindance"-Emboars, so put in two of the other guys (which will be pretty cheap to get) will give you something for lategame. And you will OHKO nearly everything except Wailord and Nidoking with a Nidoqueen on the bench.
That's my opinion, I know that this won't be too great as deck, but the second Emboar is very good tech.
 
He is a good backup attacker. There is no doubting that. But he is slow compared to reshiram. He doesn't do damage to his self his attack makes you discard 2 fire energy cards. You are thinking about zekrom

The 40 self-damage is for Zekrom, not Reshiram.
 
Oh yes, sorry. I thought that they both do damage to themself. Okay, Then you're all right, but for Decks that are allready slow, Emboar is a good tech (e.g. Emboar/Magnezone)
 
Reshiram is a great first attacker for this style of deck; you can play your hand, then juniper, then attach 3 energy in one turn.

Think about it - Reshiram is a basic who does 120 with 2 discard for FFC, while Emboar is a stage 2 with TWENTY more hp, who does 150 with 2 (minimum) discard for FFCC.

I'd say dump all of those emboars; Just go with 3-2-3 Inferno Fandango emboars and 3-4 reshirams.
