Did not know when I played you at Indy and dead drew for every turn with Zard at the static table you did DDG. Thanks for the play test video with Dialga for the next format. I was literally living your channel with my draws.

Lolll

20:27 Judge! My opponent didn't discard for Earthen Vessel!

[@VladdViever]

@37:00 I feel like using the metal makers before searching for dialga was correct. The bottom 8 cards of your deck were non energy so you had max odds to hit in the top 12 cards. Once you search, those 8 cards are back in circulation.

[@aliciahoflack138]

Cat appears, and i just had to think in my head: JUDGE!

[@codeyrogers2376]

Love seeing these early testing vids!
@ 27:57 the Pult player double attached energy in the same turn for sure but oh well, it was a lost cause anyways lol

[@konstantinoskal-wj3wx]

The one was xatu no?

[@Boomzaky]

It was Xatu's Clairvoyant Sense Ability.

[@joshs9367]

@@Boomzakyno he attached Fire to Rotom to retreat then Clairvoyant Sense then manual attach the same fire to benched Dragapult.

[@theodensa2601]

Great video lads!

[@kamilcolatosti8420]

on jakes first turn would it not have been a pretty good line to go arven for vessel evo and then evo?

[@christianlamb]

Wondering if hyperaroma acespec would improve this deck? Dialga deck...

[@theodensa2601]

With LZ Giratina having good results, could be an opportunity to showcase the deck!

[@raandomuser710]

the cat is the true MVP

[@homierubikscubedude5]

I found a japanese list online that plays 4 professor turos scenario for the metang to double/triple metal maker as well as the dialga to heal and man does it hard counter dragapult in testing

[@1000swarmingBees]

Do you have the name of the player? Wanna check this deck out

[@rr9398]

How would you double or triple the metal maker after you play PTS? That card moves all attached cards to the discard pile.

[@amyrlinn]

Wednesday spotted!

[@howlsteam265]

2th. Fire energy turn, and put in rottom for retreat ? Lol

[@grouchobarx]

Dialga vs Dragapult vs Wednesday

[@nickfanzo]

I’ve been playing dragapult for a week and I’ll tell you,it may not be as good as we think. The low energy count is an issue. You definitely need forest stone, rotom v etc to get these small amount of energy,

[@Darkrei2]

15:00 shuffled for no reason

[@oscarpulga96]

You cannot play Prime if you dont have benched pokemon! Great video guys

[@GrimoireGod]

thats incorrect

[@Giorno.giovanna.98]

You can play prime, you just need your opponent to have 2 pokemon

[@ZeroFate643]

False. You just need your opponent to have a bench
