Hm. Collector is a good point, but let's be more constructive about it.

-1 Bebe's Search (you're getting more search through Collector, Bebe's is for Uxie LvX, Gengar Prime or Haunter, but combine a Collector and a Communicatin and it's much better.)
-1 Twins (I suggested one anyway. :3 )
-1 Rare Candy (I think two will manage you fine, especially because of the 3-3-3-1 line, three Candies aren't needed).

+3 Pokemon Collector
 
I'm only running a 3-2-3-1 line, though?
Maybe I should test with collector and without?

I'll probably be removing twins anyways, one of them.
 
Ok I have been testing this deck for about a week now and you are going about this all wrong, your list looks good but after testing several times I have found out that since our main win condition is getting pokemon in the lost zone you never have time to hit their active to slow them down from taking out Gengar or Mew or whoever is active at the time so with that being said you need to add at least three warp point to keep them switched out and I am about to test three pokemon reversals too. Below is my list and the best card besides Mew (which is your best start and very fast at recovery to keep hitting them with Hurl) and Gengar Prime is Palkia G Lv. X. When they have loaded their bench you drop Palkia G then warp point or retreat a mew/gengar to level him up then use his pokepower you will net at least 2 more poke's in the lost zone then with a Seeker you might get 2 more with hurl, next Lost World for the win. I am happy with this list and have been successful with it too. I still need to go to League and test it.

******************** MY List ****************************
3-2-3-1 Gengar lv. X (3 prime)
3 Mew (swarm with him and best first turn pokemon)
1-1 Palkia G lv. X (Amazing for this deck, hitting Lost Cyclone for at least 2 bench pokemon speeds up win)
2 Uxie
2 Smeargle (Good recovery when you can get a supporter from opponent)
1 Azelf
1 Spiritomb Tm (amazing at getting them to draw because once they realize what your doing they try to keep a low hand)
1 Q

3 lost world (ran two at first but when one is prized i couldn't get to the other and had 6 pokes in LZ waiting for me to win)
3 bts
3 collector
3 twins (best card for set up they will always KO your Mew fast)
3 seeker (might take out a bts to run 4 very good combo with hurl)
2 lookers (just like spiritomb very good at making them draw plus you get to look first)
2 communication
3 warp point (very much needed because we have no way to KO their active that is pounding on you)
2 rescue
1 palmer's

10 psychic
2 warp
2 rescue
 
-1-1 Absol line
-1 Ditto
-1 Mew
-1 Unown Q
-3 Dark energy
-1 rescue Energy0
-2 SSU
-1 Lookers(not worth it at 1)
-1 Pokemon Communication

+1 Twin
+1 Gasly
+1 haunter
+1 Lost World
+1-1 Blaziken FB Line(Dialga Sucks)
+1 psychic energy
+1 Fire energy
+3 Pokemon Collectors
+2 VS Seeker (great card in this deck)

I thought about the Blaziken FB line myself Dialga does suck but I did manage to get all 6 pokemon in LZ before Dialga hit the bench so all i needed was to get my Lost World to win. That is why i run 3 now because i failed to get it before they took the 6th prize.
 
yea i played without blaziken and went 2-2 against dialgachomp but he didnt play snowpoint so i played LW before dialga hit the board. I like blaze but in other matchups he becomes a hitter because thats something the deck lacks
 
The point of the deck editing is to be constructive, to explain why ideas don't work, not to just say it
didn't work for you, I had my ideas for a reason, what are yours?

Gengar X is fine at hampering Dialga, he can completely de-volve it.
Mew is a backup, when things do get bad.
Absol is to do immediate damage.
Adding SPs just con-volutes the trainer line.
 
You are right, that seems logical. I just don't like making changes without prior reasons.
What's the point if I blindly accept anything, y'know?
So what should I remove then, everyone is suggesting different things, some of which aren't
even part of the deck idea.
 
I know what you mean, they're trying to help you build and ace deck with Gengar Prime, I'm just trying to help along with your list instead of an entirely new one.

I thought this:

I liked my idea for gengar prime, if it really didn't work, I'd do whatever was popular that they were suggesting,
but that's not the point of the list, y'know? :p

I will follow that advice then, as it does seem smart to include collector. I might do - an unown Q instead of rare candy though

Reason: List Updated 2/3/2011: + 3 Collector, +1 Lost World, -1 Pont, -1 Rare Candy, -1 Unown Q, -1 Rescue Energy

I still feel like something is missing. In the Pokemon and I know it's escaping me...
 
By Jove, I knew I was missing 17 pikachus.

Wouldn't it be hard
To level up azelf since he'd be on the bench
 
Sorry if you took my post the wrong way, I just posted my list because it has helped me before to see what other people are having success with. I didn't in any way mean for you to change your entire deck to be what I am playing (also why i gave reasons for why i played a card different than what you did). I search around the forum looking at what other people have done with their version of the deck and try implementing a few different things. So please don't take my post wrong.

Plus I would rather post my deck list and you take or leave what I have done in any way you choose. I don't like just saying take this out take that out because i don't know what you have and what you don't have. Another point in me saying take this card out or that is I don't know what you like to play with some people play certain cards because they like that card period.

No, I understand. Thank you for explaining. I've been playtesting and I've mad
Some changes I will post them in the morning
 
I'd add a couple Devoluters to help with the Gyarados match up. If you put 4 dmg on a dos and devolute it with gen prime the karp gets sent to the lost zone. :D
 
Big update to the list, I played with it for awhile, messed with the list. Works pretty good now. Any other thoughts?

After playtesting, 3 Collector's was way too much, however, 2 or 1 seems just fine.
I didn't have enough energy so I added two more psychic and a flower lady. I can recover cards in a pinch and now I won't worry about prized energy as much.
