but magnezone can 1hitko it with lost burn removing 2 energy. though this has been posted earlier about what SEL can withstand and the math of energy vs the rogue deck

This conversation would get too deep into theorymon:

SEL only comes out if RDL does, RDL has high retreat, SEL doesn't, so David would have to bait his SEL out early and KO it quick and hope he hits enough energy the rest of the game to sweep with RDL, which is going to be difficult since he discarded 3 energy to retreat RDL and had to remove some energy some other way to get a KO. Of course that all stems on baiting out the SEL early....which means he will have to get Magnezone and Emboar out quickly, then get RDL out quickly...all under trainer lock....all the while, Ross is taking prizes and removing damage.....

....so, there's really no point in continuing the "what could happens," it is pretty much infinite. And, even if it weren't, like I said originally, Ross still has a substantial advantage that David will have to overcome.
 
Lol, it just dawned on me, Ross was the 16th seed...crazy to think he might win it all and he almost didn't make it...scary.
 
Dragons is usually used to refer to Reshiram/Zekrom collectively. Since he is running SEL, which needs fire, and the basis of the deck is to keep damage off of the main attacker to deny prizes, I'm going to say it focuses on Reshiram. Though, Reshi doesn't really hit anything for weakness (that's played right now, I should say), so it may very well be more heavily based on Zekrom. Taking a wild guess, I would say 3-4 Reshi, 2-3 Zekrom.
