In like every tourny this year that I have been to including States, reginals and multiple BRs, it seems like Gengar always makes the top cut. I have played Gengar myself and havent thought of one machup that would scare me as a Gengar player. So is there anything that can really counter Gengar? Is ther ANYTHING that counters it? I was wondering what everyone thinks.
 
a player who knows the game very well, and is smart enough to take the time and figure it out. i know someone who could do it, but then again, he's one of the many who brought the use of nidoqueen into gengar, and perfected it to a science.

Really? So all the Gengar decks winning BR's were all up against bad decks or poor players? C'mon now. As always, it depends on a number of factors including luck, skill, opening hands, etc. Such a definitive statement in these forums rarely holds up to scrutiny.

A bad Gengar player can't beat an average player.

A good Gengar player can beat a good player.
A very good Gengar player can beat a very good player, though may have difficulty.
 
The only bad matchup Gengar has is Dialga G. Its not as easy as it seems to play around Gengar. If Gengar cant beat "good" players or decks then why does it win so often against "good" players in top cut.

I do have to agree, Dialga G is a very, very, very difficult for gengar to play around. Being resistant, special metals, and being Unown G'd doesn't help the situation either. And the Deafen attack is evil! But against every other deck/card, gengar definitely has a favoriable match-up.

I don't think a bad played can beat a good player. Because a bad player would not know how to use the deck or when to do the right moves to win. You have to be a good player and know your deck in order to win.

The game is luck as well, a bad player can get a god hand and a good player can get a horrid hand and start. Bad player will be mostly playing a auto pilot and deck cruise thro the good player just because of the start. It happens often.
 
It's NOT the deck people... it's the people... people.

Any deck that WORKS has a chance of winning. If you play Gengar and you whiff your start, I can smash you with a Lucario deck w/ a Sudowudo tech.. lol
 
True that a good player could work around it. But it must take a great deck to win everything that it has.
Oh and dark weedle, no offense but ur totally wrong.
