WAKE UP. Gengar is NOT that great of a card. It's NEVER a good thing to let your opponent determine your damage.
All you have to do to win against gengar is keep your hand clear of trainers, G your claydol and one other important pokemon, and work around fainting spell. You WIN. They can't do ANYTHING.
Also - always remember that, if you have a claydol in play, you should draw ONE card with looker's. It will probably not be a trainer, and poltergeist will do no damage. They are then stuck shadow rooming, and if you have things with unown G guarding them, shadow room isn't painful at all.
Really, it's not a hard deck to beat, I don't know why people are calling it or machamp tier one.
Putting gengar and machamp together makes things even worse, which is another thing people need to wake up and see. Instead of 1 inconsistent deck that falls apart mid-game, and is based on a lot of luck, you have TWO put together. So you're pretty much guaranteed to draw NOTHING when setting up because of all the random crap in GeChamp, fall apart midgame, and if you have bad luck, only get about 3 prizes.
Flygon is the real threat that people need to focus on...
