Dialga VSTAR Decks are FINALLY OPTIMIZED! - (Pokemon TCG Deck List + Matches)

Thanks to Andrew Hedrick's big win at Indianapolis Regionals with Dialga VSTAR, the deck has finally hit a place where the deck feels about as optimal as it's going to be for the time being.

My favorite deck, it's so underrated! I have my own variant with a lot of gust (3 boss, 2 switch), 17 energy and ciphermaniac to always hit energy off metang and it's so good

[@mikek43]

It’s not underrated there’s just just a lot of new stuff out now

I was howling against Raging Bolt, you could have used Mew ex to take a KO. Mew ex is a bad card to have on the bench, and I don't like it in that matchup, but you can use it and toss 4-5 damage for a KO, and that invites your opponent to revenge-KO it, leaving you free to bring up the Dialga and start boss-KOing. The Mew ex is such a key card in Dialga: In some matchups it's just bait/dead space, but in others it's an amazing efficiency trade since you only need 3 energy to use it. All in all, good intro to the Dialga deck. I built it (with arvens) as soon as metang was spoiled, and I've been riding it ever since.

The actual NAIC Andrew Hedrick made it through some regionals with this deck… so it could works very well

[@MiguelAngel-jz7vo]

I played a lot this deck last set meta and had very good results, although I had a lot of times where Research drawn me 4 or more energies and then metang missed or I was 1 energy short for Star Chronos/KO . Now with TWM, I'd add one or two Hassel for 1 research and 1 iono. It lets you filter a lot of cards, if you see a lot of energies in those 8 you can return them and keep everything else, so you are increasing your chances to hitting +2 energies per metang. All this specially considering the two bad matchups the deck has are Dragapult/Regidrago and Raging Bolt. So most of the times you will lose something in the beggining

[@ChrisBeverly]

With all those research you should make room for a basclegion

[@mree2685]

Love the videos, man. Keep up the good work!

[@InThirdPerson]

Thanks for watching!

[@AstorgamesTCG]

Nice video! I would like to try it with lightning energy and Iron hands.

[@wintersheet]

I think I saw you at target in the pokemon section today! was that you?

[@InThirdPerson]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don’t live in a country where Target exists and I wasn’t in a country that has Target today. But if I were at Target, I certainly would check out the Pokemon section!

[@nitro5247]

Awesome to see this deck doing numbers! Is there perhaps any room for a variant with Melmetal EX?

rolling on the floor trying to buy singles from tcg player. shipping is a pain.

[@JamFlexx]

It is better than trying to buy locally imo. Cheaper & way better selection. Use cart optimizer in tcgplayer

[@qtAlexx_YT]

I also teched one metagross for the stall matchup since theres only one switch in this deck

[@dry.my.eyez_xwx]

Anyone knows a way to win Charizard with Dialga? It stills being a hard macthup to manage for me

[@vonrazquez2842]

Dont take a single prizer, just build up bench until you can take the first 2 prizes and ggs

[@vonrazquez2842]

Save mew to take the last k0 on zard if desperate

[@garym7937]

Would you mind doing another Dialga playing more games. Pokemon dad needing help with this deck. Seems I may play to conservatively.

[@vonrazquez2842]

Pokemon rewards aggression so just dont be afraid to research or attack

[@garym7937]

​@@vonrazquez2842 Just when to be aggressive?

Is tatsugiri escape board doable in this deck to find supporters more often?

[@MartinBurg0s]

Would it be worth trying to protect the beldums on the bench?

[@nicolamela606]

Do you suggest this deck for a cup?

[@loltunips]

This deck is so easy to energise pokemon I don't know why people don't run an iron hands
