Regidrago VSTAR is (not) slow

Cards like Gardenia's Vigor, and the massive amount of dragon types have distracted people from this deck list. You do not need lots of versatility to have a good deck. Just Energy Hurricane, and Rolling Iron. GARDENIA'S VIGOR IS TRASH, STOP USING IT. I know my list looks bland, but Regidrago needs that consistency.

Optimal hand is a way to get Regidrago V and Leafeon V out, preferably with Leafeon in active for insurance in case your opponent pulls off a turn one attack,

Regidrago VSTAR is (not) slow

Cards like Gardenia's Vigor, and the massive amount of dragon types have distracted people from this deck list. You do not need lots of versatility to have a good deck. Just Energy Hurricane, and Rolling Iron. GARDENIA'S VIGOR IS TRASH, STOP USING IT. I know my list looks bland, but Regidrago needs that consistency.

Optimal hand is a way to get Regidrago V and Leafeon V out, preferably with Leafeon in active for insurance in case your opponent pulls off a turn one attack, and then an energy. Not too much to ask, as this deck only runs one additional basic other than Leafeon/Regidrago, being Radiant Gardevoir. 6/7 times not starting with Radiant Gardevoir.

All trainer cards in this deck other than Boss's Orders, Temple of Sinnoh, Big Charm, and Big Parasol are for consistency, as without the copius amounts of consistency trainers, setting up is hard. Luckily, the deck, once set up is pretty self-sufficient not needing additional trainer cards to continue pushing.

Two ways to play most matchups. You can either play very passively, with Rolling Iron and Energy Hurricane, or you can go hyper offensive with Energy Hurricane and Lost Impact. Decks that run Miltank and Decidueye are the reason I have to run Duraludon VMAX as otherwise I would have no way around them.

The deck is consistently keeping up with and winning against Lugia VSTAR, Mew VMAX, Lost Box, ect. Temple of Sinnoh effectively shuts down Regigigas box. Leafeon VSTAR is good enough as an attacker and is good protection against Kyogre cheese. Big parasol is for Sableye cheese.

Only things that are left to consider for this deck are: Radiant Charizard, and Manaphy.

If you have any groundbreaking suggestions, let me know. HOWEVER, Garchomp V and Flygon V are not good options. They lower consistency at the start of the game, and do not do nearly enough damage to be worth it. Discarding energy is terrible for this deck. They are also basic and I don't want to start with them, the same reason I opted to not put Crobat V or Lumineon V in this deck.

This is my take on regidrago vstar. I can usually get it with min 3 energy on t2 with the set up on t1. If you play it my usual line is start mew then nab and pitch ho-oh. https://pokemoncard.io/deck/regidrago-vstar-ho-oh-box-35978

What you think about maybe low down Basic energy and use Energy Search to guarantee a Fire or Grass on second turn?

Nice list and thanks for explaining the consistency choices.

Would you consider a Peonia for when your discard dragons are prized?

I still think a 2 line of gardinas vigor would be nessisary here but then again i only play this deck in expanded where you don't need grass energy at all so..
