I was thinking using a 1-1 line in my Rayquaza C deck, but I didn't because of the fact that he skips my turn. Besides, Bronzong G/Manectric G work fine as well.
Rayquaza C is actually an even WORSE card than electivire! Did you not read all of the bad weakness of rayquaza?
Almost the same weaknesses as electivire (except even worse attacks)- weakness to ditto, garchomp (Sp and regular), flygon, and the difficulty in setting up and maintaining attack (a 0 card hand? you kidding me?).
You should discard both of those ideas from use. Blaziken and Garchomp, in that order, are the best level Xs of the set. There is a reason they are being hyped and being made into decks- they are that much better. There is nothing cool or exciting about using worse cards.
Phazon said:It's weak to Flygon and has expensive, difficult attacks. How is that good?
I mean, a Flygon . . . with NO evolutions on the bench . . . kills it in one hit.
If you E-Gain Ray to keep up with Flygon, Machamp comes out and OHKOs you. If you G Ray to protect it from Machamp, Flygon comes out and OHKOs you. Blaze OHKOs or 2HKO's you for 2 energy. Garchomp C OHKO's you. Both Stage 2 Garchomps, which people are talking about using again, set up faster than you AND OHKO you. Beedrill is insanely fast . . . and OHKOs you. Kingdra 2HKOs you for one energy. Gengar lets you kill it. Ditto OHKOs you. Ninetales OHKOs you. Luxray 2HKOs you with Sunyshore in play. Infernape OHKOs you. Dialga 2HKOs you AND tosses your energy aside. Nidoqueen 2HKOs you. Dusknoir 2HKOs you. Palkia 2HKOs you.
The entire format (or a large portion of it) sets up faster than you and can OHKO/2HKO you, for half or less than half the energy. The card sucks.
I'll also add that Rayquaza C (non lvl X) has atrocious attacks. CCCC for 50 with a 25% failure rate? 10+10 for each energy discarded? SP decks already play few energy- how many times can you even attack with Rayquaza?
Electivire also has pretty subpar attacks. We can look at Blaziken FB's luring flame, or Dialga's Deafen, or Palkia's Pearl Breath, or even the solid "bite" of Luxray GL and see that all of these attacks are significantly stronger than a weak "dump and draw" or 40 for 3 and a FORCED energy move (it's not even optional like some pokemon!). Why do people choose to devote so much time in trying to get a mediocre card to work when there are just MUCH BETTER obvious cards out there?
