To add to what YJ said, let's think about the speed of both decks. BRa gets set up turn two at best, turn four at worst. It's going to take 4 turns MINIMUM for Wex to get powered unless Elekid is factored into the equation. But there aren't enough Elekid in his deck for this to happen every other game, which is usually when Dunsparce in a multiple of 4 show up in your opening hand.
You're going to have 2 Wex in play fully pumped by turn 4? HOW??? Blaziken ex will attack the one with ENERGY so it can't attack for jack squat next turn. It's attack does 100- 10 for every damage counter on it. Notice that Blaziken ex's attack does exactly 100 damage. The Wailord ex without energy will not magically have a Base Blastoise fall from the sky and pump it up, it will sit there, needing four turns to get pumped, by which time Blaziken ex will have demolished the first Wailord ex, and Rayquaza with a lightning and 5 fire or 4 fire and a multi will be waiting for backup.
Rayquaza not only OHKOs Wex, it also has resistance to it, as YJ illustrated earlier. No matter HOW HEALED WEX IS, IT CAN NOT OHKO RAYQUAZA EX. Rayquaza ex will proceed to do some major damage to it, so that Wailord ex CAN NOT DO ANY DAMAGE WITH ITS SECOND ATTACK, unless they heal. If they do, horray for luck. But they'll need a crapload of healing cards to get Wex back to the point where he can attack.
If you're thinking, I'll switch for my other Wailord ex, which is fully loaded with energy, you're wrong. Blaziken gets up faster than Wex. It takes 4 energy and there aren't any pokemon powers to aid in it's powering. You're thinking, he'll use his Ampharos. That seems logical, but that's a lot to have out turn 3-4, doncha think? Especially in a deck without any decent starting basic (Dunsparce, Wynaut, etc.), all he's got is Elekid (interesting idea, but not enough copies included) and Linoone *shudders*, which won't be sufficient in the "booting up" stage of his deck.
For another thing, Wailord ex may be able to beat Blaziken ex, if there is a luck factor involved. And of course there is luck. I don't know about this Blaziken player Looking4Wex sez he beat, but I'm talking about MAJOR MAJOR competition. PLay some of the giants over the 'net. Jermy, YJ, Mudkip, they all know Blaziken inside out. And if you think I'm volunteering them w/o asking, cut me a break. They've been begging you to get apprentice so they can prove you wrong. They WANT to battle you, but you don't comply.
The deck's mechanics will be forever unstable. Slowbro/Milotic may be the light for the future for this card, but that will be pretty hard to pull off. 3 Slowbro's in play should do it for healing. Stall/attack at the same time. Until two sets from now, this card "stays in the shoebox", never to see the light of day until RSon.
Hero - I wasn't being harsh at all. I can't believe all these people are ganging up on me. GodTrainer, Kory, now even you. I was making a valid point. If you HONESTLY BELIEVE this deck will beat A GOOD BLAZIKEN EX PLAYER CONSISTANTLY, then post it here. I'm not talking an average player who's okay at the game, I'm talking a SKILLED player. If you believe so, put your argument here and we'll debate somewheres else.
But I doubt you actually think that. Most of the people on this board avoided this discussion, I somewhat wish I would have done the same, because this could easily turn into a FLAME WARS post. Hero, I don't know what your stance on this is, but post it here, because I'm waiting to find out.
Weilemom - It's good that you're nice, and you're sticking up for Lookin4Wex. There are two things that aren't so nice about this:
1) I didn't say Lookin4Wex wasn't nice, or cool or w/e. You accused everybody here who doesn't like Wex of that.
2) We've GIVEN OUR OPINIONS on other posts in different threads. We've given long, boring-to-type-up reasons on why Blaziken crushes this deck. Before MVA, I even gave Lookin4Wex's deck a spin, because:
I NEVER SAY ANYTHING GOOD OR BAD ABOUT A DECK UNTIL I'VE TESTED IT.
I tried this Amphy/Wex combo, it didn't work. Tried with Elekid, it didn't work. I was getting setup turn 5 at the earliest. I played Lookin4Wex's almost exact decklist.
I've already said, countless times, why this deck doesn't beat Rayquaza, Blaziken, Amphy ex, or any other competitive deck out there. I have valid ground on which I take my stance on this deck. It can't beat Blaziken ex, that's the end of the story.
-WOoP
PS - Maybe I should change my name to SuperWalrein....
