Deck Primer

This is a spin on the Dialga VStar meta deck. Using Miraidon you can bench Magnemite early on with a view toward getting a Rare Candy and Magnezone by turn 2. Lots of draw options from Rotom (who can draw turn one even if you go first) to Greninja. Raikou V adds to the team as a quick attacker or back up draw engine with its Fleet Footed ability.

My goal when I play is to get Miraidon on the bench my first turn, using Tandem Unit to bring Magnemite and Rotom along for the ride (depending on my hand).

My goal when I play is to get Miraidon on the bench my first turn, using Tandem Unit to bring Magnemite and Rotom along for the ride (depending on my hand). Rotom's Instant Charge ability on turn one can get me some extra cards to leverage to get my Dialga V out there. From there use any of the draw cards (Greninja, Iridia, Adaman, etc) to get a rare candy and evolve Magnemite and load Dialga up with metal energy. Next up, evolve Dialga to VStar and get two KOs in a row with Star Chronos. As you build Dialga up Raikou V can be your attacker if you need some quick KOs and Miraidon can get Raikou out early.

This has worked great for me against a lot of the meta decks out there: Miraidon/Regieleki, Lugia VStar, Lost Box, Gardevoir ex, Mew VMax, etc.

I like your deck alot but, Im not sure why you are running one water energy and copycat. Thanks!

I agree with Kababic, the Water Energy is unnesceary.  Also, you might want to cut down a few Lightning and Metal energies, 22 Energies really hurts consistency.

I had the water energy in there as a way to use Lumineon's power and have it return to my deck to use it again. Copycat is in there mostly because I was seeing opponent's with high draw strategy so I could draw several cards with it.
