Pokemon (24):
4-2-4 Gengar (SF)
2-1-2 Metagross (SV)
2-2 Mightyena (LA)
2 Crobat G
2 Uxie
1 Spiritomb (AR)

Supporters (10):
4 Bebe's
2 Pokemon Collector
1 PONT
3 Volkner's

Trainer (10):
4 Rare
3 Warp Point
2 Dusk Ball
1 XBelt
1 Lux Ball

Energy (15):
10 Psychic Energy
4 Spec Dark
1 Dark

Strategy: A MetalGar setup with Mighty to fight off SP and Other Gengars, especially Prime. A full bench Harass with a few Spec Dark Energy is killer for that thing.

Changes I want to make: Really thinking about deploying a 4-2-1-2-1 (SF, Prime, Lv. X) for Gengar just because Cursed plus Compound looks killer for spread and Grav combo. Also really wondering about the supporters/trainers. I'm thinking with the new Gengars that another Xbelt would be helpful but I'm kinda stuck on what I need for the rest of them. Volk is good for hand refresh and I'm thinking more PONT over the dusk balls but they've actually been pretty useful.

Just wanted some opinions on what to change.
 
I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty mad at you, because I just thought of this type of deck with the Same name and Pokemon the Other day on my way to the bus.

The differences were that, I combined the Spread of Gengar prime and Gengar X with the Sniping of Metagross UL, It worked pretty well with heavy Lucians Assignments or Shaymin Ul lines to move energys from a damaged Gengar X to Metagross and retreat to start sweeping at 2 prize cards a turn.

As for your list


You need a starter, more than you need Mighteyena, I'd drop them to Max spiritomb. While your at it you can drop the dark energy as well. that gives you 6 cards extra with the spiritiombs.

I'd drop volkner's For 2 more PONT and 1 more Collector

I'd drop Dusk ball for Broken Time Space.

If you run Crobat G you need 4 poketurns or else you'd be max their damage potential at 2 Damage counters.

You could tech in a metaGross Ul to eliminate the need for warp point. That's another 3 Cards you can mess with
 
Heh, sorry there, Doom. Yeah I was thinking about the impressive spread damage with the Prime/Lv. X.

You'd be surprised how much damage I've done with the Mightyena. I mean I can get rid of them but I always loved how much they worked against Gengars and SP.

Hmm so a 3-2-2/1 On the Gross with 2 SV/1 UL?

Also if I change it with some Primes and an X would I just go 3/1 on that? Or should I leave in a ST or an AR in there?

Also yes, I'd like to go with spread on this. And yes, MD-on. Sorry thought the Championship mark kinda said that.

Maybe focus on a 4-2-4 With two Grav Meta and two Float Meta and use that with the Spread Gars as my main attackers? Gives me a lot more room with the Mighty and the Dark energy gone.

Just put together something new and wanted some feedback.

Pokemon (27)
4-2-2/1/1 Gengar (SF/AR/Lv X)
4-2-2/2 Metagross (SV/UL)
2/1 Spiritomb (AR/LA)
2 Shaymin (UL)
2 Uxie (LA)

Stadiums (1)
1 BTS

Supporters (15)
4 Bebe's
3 Lucian's
3 Collector
3 PONT
2 Seeker

Trainers (7)
2 XBelt
1 Luxury
4 Rare

Energy (10)
10 Psychic

Strategy: Uses Gengar as the main spreader/attacker with sf and ar sending out damage counters with Tomb support to spread more. Lv X for the knock out accompanied by Metagross with the double attack. Metagross SV drops the health making the spread and kill quicker while Shaymin and Lucian's cycles energy between the Gengar and Metagross. Rest of the support used normally, Uxie for draw and Spiritomb for lock.

The pokemon count is large so I'm wondering is running 3-2-4 lines on the Gengar and 3-2-3 on the gross are alright. What is the luck on other folks running 3-2-3 lines? Maybe thinking of dropping a Lucian's for another BTS or something else.
 
You don't need Shaymin and lucians, 1 shaymin is enough since you already run Seeker, you could replace the lucains with more seekers, You could fit in an extra bts, I personally like Gengar Prime to spread, Sf is more of a sniper I'd go 1 Sf, 2 Prime 1 lvl X. Drop 1 Beldum and 1 metagross Sv for 1 solrock Tm and 1 lunatone Sv.

I'd not advise dropping Lucian's since this deck really needs the energy transfer. Relying on a power without another alternative makes me wince, as it can so often be sprayed.
 
Already dropped the beldums and Metagross. Running 3-1-1/2 (SV/UL) made room for another Spiritomb AR, basically want him and gastly as my starter. Dropped it down to one x belt because it's useful but not necesary really as it doesn't work on with the spread but it does give Metagross an 80 attack for CC. Went up a BTS. I'll post the new list soon.
