Ok..I got this list from a friend, and have yet to make it, though I may be using it for nats since Magboar appears to be BDIF. I know most magboars run Emboar non-ability, is that always reccomended?

Anyway, here's the list I was given, please feel free to offer advice and fixes. Thanks!

4 Cleffa
3 Magnamite
1 Magneton
3 Magnezone
2 Tepig Promo
1 Pignite 17
2 Emboar ability
1-1 RDL
1 Tyrogue

4 Collector
3 Judge
1 FSL
4 Candy
4 Junk Arm
3 Communication
2 Reversal
2 Retreival
1 Switch
1 Indigo Plateu

4 Lightning
13 Fire

Strategy is to spam energy onto pokemon with Infernal fandango and then use lost burn to KO any pokemon in play. i've also seen a list run 2 Reshiram as a back-up attacker. Is this reccomended or not?

Thanks
 
I'd take out a cleffa (4 babies seems to be the magic number so 3 cleffa and 1 tyrogue would work) and 2 fire energies. replace them with another lightning and another 1-1 RDL
 
eh..I'm not sure about the RDL, although it is kind of a stupid reason lol. I have 2.5 total sets of RDL, and am hoping to sell one set at nats for $. If I'm running 2-2 I'd have to wait til after swiss or even After I lose in topcut assuming I make it. I'll think about it though
 
well, then you have the choice between: "doing well with competing and possibly getting money" or "getting money and possibly doing well with competing" lol

the reason why RDL is so important, is if you're up against reshiboar, then you'd have to dump so much energy into the lost zone to take out 6 reshiboar, it's nearly impossible to time it all right. RDL is usually in this deck to get the last two prize cards since by then you're probably down to those last 4 or so energies and won't make it with another two attacks with magnezone. but the problem is: what if your second half of RDL is one of those last two prizes? with so many swiss rounds at nationals, this scenario is bound to happen a few times, especially without Alph Lithograph (4) from triumphant to let you know which prize to claim. and with junk arm, once you have one RDL down and don't see a need for the other one (or other half while the second half to second RDL is prized) then just junk it for something you need.
 
Don't forget, you can just play down RDL on turn 1 if you get it. If they can't kill it in one hit (reshiboar) then go to town.
