Which deck will be better?

How do you plan to get a Stage 2 out T2 without playing a draw/Pokémon search Supporter both turns? This also assumes you start with the Cilan of course. Stone's Project never saw play, so I'm doubtful Cilan will.

You need:
-Tepig
-Rare Candy
-Emboar
-Reshiram-EX
-3 or 4 energy

You realize that's seven or eight cards, right? You need an ideal opening hand to get all of them.

Even if you don't get to use Cilan, you should still be easily able to get a DCE and 2 Energy by turn 2.
 
How? What cards will get them for you? ZPST only gets the donk about 40% of the time, and it needs less cards than this does and has twice as many viable starters.

Reshiram doesn't want to donk, Reshiram wants to get the turn 2...
 
Okay, how about we leave it at this; Reshiboar EX has the possibility to get the T2 Brave Fire, but it is unlikely. There are cards that increase the likelihood of this happening, making their desired outcome (T2 150 Damage) a more reasonable reality, so Reshiboar EX will run them. That's how deckbuilding works.

The Thunderdome is a better Magnezone based deck than Magneboar, which is why we've seen very few Magneboar decks do anything signifigant post-NV, but we've seen a lot of Thunderdome. We've pretty much agreed that its the BDIF, and why would we do that if it was worse or comparable to Magneboar? Thats why I don't think Magneboar will see play, even with Reshiram EX.

Reshiboar EX is a possibility, and I'd not be surprised if we saw a lot of it in (at least) the begining of next format.

And getting an Emboar t2 and 4 energy is supposed to be easy. It is uncommon for Reshiram in Tyram to attack t2 with Blue Flare, let alone the EX?

We aren't talking about TyRam. TyRam with Reshiram EX is horrible. However, Reshiram EX is fantastic with Emboar. We will also be getting Heavy Ball and Cilan, both of which boost ReshiBoar. Heavy Ball + Cilan = T2 Reshiram. The really biggest problem is hitting the Rare Candies, but you can use Sage's Training to help that. At the very least, you should be swinging for 150 T3, which is still amazing. And you can also use DCE for acceleration as well.
 
While Magneels might be a more consistent and fast version of Magneboar, Magneboar is probably better against EX's since it can OHKO them every turn without a problem.

But remember, Reshiram EX OHKO's everything back. And since it is faster, if each Reshiram EX manages to take 2 Prizes, then they've done their jobs. Also, if you lose all three of your Magnezones, you're up the creek without a paddle. That is, if MangeBoar can even manage to set up multiple Magnezones.
 
Reshiram EX definitely doesn't OHKO other EX's (barring Shaymin). Magnezone can and it's just about the only thing that can without weakness or piling massive amounts of energy on Mewtwo EX.
 
It does if you run Rocky Helmet and/or PlusPower. But I meant it OHKO's everything in MagneBoar. I should of made that clearer.
 
If Mewtwo EX catches on, Magneboar might become very strong. Due to Emboar's ability, an empty Magnezone can attack at a moment's notice. This means that a smart player could, in theory, drop the required energy for a knockout, empty the field of energy to take that knockout, then repeat as needed.

Of course this runs the risk of Emboar being OHKO'ed if the opponent has the means of doing so, so it requires a bit of board reading.
 
I think that Magneboar with a RDL could be a good deck after next destinies comes out because it can knock out EXs pretty easily plus take more prizes with RDL by catchering low HP pokemon and taking two prizes off them.
 
People won't play Magneboar because it's better than Reshiboar, people will play Magneboar because people will play Magneboar. You can't argue with that logic because you can't argue with that logic.

I like Magneboar because it just suits me. Some will say EelZone is better, others the opposite. Both decks can, once set up, reliably KO EXs. That much is certain. Reshiram, on the other hand, not as much.
 
Well, Mewtwo EX, Reshiram EX, Zekrom EX, Magnezone Prime can all be able to OHKO reshiram because their attacks are so high and Rehiram's HP is only 130.

Mewtwo needs 6 energies to Ohko reshiram and the other 3 Ohko magnezone just as easily
 
Well, I guess. Mewtwo/Gardevoir could only use three. Reshiram's attack is also a little low compared to those in Magnezone decks. I think that Reshiboar may see some play though.

Reshiram can easily one shot all the Gardevoirs though
