CurseGar for States help EDIT

[Dragon Strife]

Okay, So I have a CurseGar deck That I would resally love to take to states, but I don't know if it's the best that it can be.

Here's the deck list so far:

Pokemon=24

4x Gastly-SF
3x Haunter-TR
1x Gengar-AR
1x Gengar-SF
1x Gengar(Prime)-TR
1x Gengar Lv. X-AR
1x Nidoran(F)-TR
1x Nidoqueen-RR
4x Spiritomb-AR
2x Uxie-LA
1x Azelf-LA
1x Mespirit-LA
1x Bronzor-MD
1x Bronzong-SF
2x Unown(Q)-MD

T:S:S=24

4x Pokemon Collector-HGSS
3x Seeker-TR
4x Rare Candy-3 from UL and 1 from GE
3x BeBe's Search-RR
2x Broken Time Space-PL
2x P.C.-HGSS
2x Expert Belt-AR
1x Lux Ball-SF
2X Judge-UL

NRG=12

9x :psychic:
3x Rescue-TR

So, The strategy for the deck is to mostly either trainer lock them with spiritomb, or with gastly while you bring out Gengar as ast as you can. Once you have brought out Gengar, you can snipe the bench while doing damage to the active or not(Doing dmage to the active with Gengar, and may do damage, may not with Gengar Prime). BronZong is really good for getting those energies you need, and Zangoose Is in here, because wheen it is belted, most o the time you can Ko a regular Garchomp C with Invite and Strike(I was thinking about maybe putting in some pluspowers so I could Ko a GCX with belt and 2 pluspowers but I don't know). While you are doing some hefty damage, you probably want to heal your own pokemon. So, once you have Candied the Nidoran(f) into Nidoqueen, you can start Maternal Comforting off those damage counters.

So, it would really help if you could give advice and such for this deck. Hopefully bring it to states and such. So yeah!

Thank you,

N.


Possible take Outs/ Add Ins:

I was thinking maybe take out 1 rescue energy for a Uxie X.

Tell me what you think.

You need to say what your strategy is or else the topic will be closed or modded or whatever.

[Dragon Strife]

I fixed it. Thanks for pointing that out. I almost forgot about that.

[Barkjon]

I'd play 4 Candies 2 BTS personally.

[Dragon Strife]

wel i was thinking about taking out all my cynthia's and adding 2 judge and 1 rare candy. But I would really like to run all 3 of my BTS

[Barkjon]

With 3 BTS they can clog your hand later on, even though they are extremely useful. Trust me, 4 Rare Candies/2 BTS is the way to go (except in DonkChamp, you need 4/4 in that)

[Dragon Strife]

true true. Alright I'll try it and see how it works.

any help would be great!

[Mama_Luigi]

2 tombs? Why not 4? And instead of bronzong, how bout some hand refresh? Imo rescue energies aren't needed, play 4 call instead because it helps you get out of bad starts, and makes good starts even better. 4 gastly SF is the way to go.
Adding a twins would be nice too.

[Dragon Strife]

I only have 2 tombs because when I was playing with 4 it woul always clog my hand up because I woul have a full bench. I think my Bronzong really helps with getting energy out though. It's what one me a game one time. I think I might go 2-2 call and rescue because rescue has gotton my gengar x and cursed gengar and such back really easily. I will add another gastly sf because I think they are better then my TR one. Do you think taking out my last cynthia's for a twins would work?

[Mama_Luigi]

Imo drop the zangoose for twins. I understand what it's for, just it's so ehhhh.
You really need 4 spiritombs asit's the best starter for this deck. 3-4 call is the best in this, why not just manetric instead of rescue energy?

[Dragon Strife]

Okay, I'll probably drop zan for twins. As for spiritomb surprisingly for only having 2 I get it a lot as one of my starts. I don't have 3-4 call. I only have 2 sadly. also, how would manetric help instead of rescue?

[Mama_Luigi]

Mantric protects your bench. You are switching to tomb whn you use shadow skip, correct?
Btw, thtat "I only need 2 because I always seem to draw into it" stuff is baloney. If you keep it at 2, eventually math's gonna catch up on you.

[Dragon Strife]

well yeah, okay well i'll ry the 4 tomb stuff and see how it goes but, I can't test it right now because I'm building my Gyarados deck which I have to take out stuff but when I'm done I will definetly test it out

Put in two pokemon communciations, then. Maybe a junk arm, too.

In place of what?

[Dragon Strife]

EDIT: Okay, so I replaced my cynthia's and zangoose for 2 more tombs, took out the tr gastly and put in 1 more sf, and took out a bts and put in another rare candy.

[yoyofsho16]

Uh no, DON'T trust this. 2 BTS is an insignificant amount. You need BTS at the beginning of the game the most, and without 3 copies at least it will be insignificant.

[Dragon Strife]

well I will try it out with 2 first, then go from there.

[hey its kenz]

To be honest i dont see why you would play this over the more classical gengar SF. can you explain please?

[Dragon Strife]

because I don't have any.

EDIT: I took out one AR for a SF.
