Man its kind of funny how bad some people can be...
On Topic:
I expect that machamp, gengar, speed decks, dusknoir and torterra will do well.
It Auto-Losses to two of the biggest decks, Gengar and Dusknoir

Any deck with a few Unown G does not 'auto-loss' to either deck, this statement does not include random fighting decks that are plain terrible.

Ya, Team Hatter should've known that before accpeting you. I feel sorry for the other Team Members.
I expect Kingdra to win the most.

Oh man you're a funny guy!
Ya know, bashing another member on the board while not knowing who they are or talking to them just shows how cowardly you are.
If you dont have something nice to say, dont say anything at all.
And i completely disagree.
Kingdra shouldnt win the most because there are better decks out there.

Lol much? I recall you bashing, not me.
Kingdra is faster than most decks, which will give it the win.

I actually talk to darthpika somewhat, and i dont talk to you.
Yea, gengar is faster than most decks, that doesnt make it good.

What has DarthPika to do with you bashing me?
And I don't care for Gengar, i was talking about Kingdra.

....Do you not understand that i was comparing their speed?
You said that kingdra will win because of speed.
Gengar is just as fast, but it isnt that good.
Kingdra has the same situation.
If anything, gengar has better matchups than kingdra does.

Slow, low damage... RockLock?
Mynx?
Mynx?
IMO, Gengar just isn't reliable... congratulations! You just killed that Claydol on the bench but what are you gonna do about that big fat Kingdra/Dusknoir etc attacking you? You're not always going to flip heads.
And although its second attack is good, your opponent isn't going to sit there with 4 trainers/supp/stad in his hand and just watch you KO his big pokemon. Your opponent will get rid of them. Unless you're lucky, I can't see Gengar consistently doing more than 30 damage a turn.

You'd think so but no, yeah Auto-Loss was an over-exaggeration but the match ups aren't in favor of Eevees. Bronzong/Dusknoir Lv.X eat up Claydol/Azelf, if you attach G to both of them, they still first off can take damage (Cursed Alloy/Ectoplasm) but your 60-130HP Eevees are left for Damage Even/Hard Feelings

Well people I will give you the top 4 decks from the city championship today in all 3 divisions and let you decide. Also keep in mind that many good players were there (Diaz Bros, Jimmy O' Brian, Aziz Al Yami, Justin Bohkari etc.)
Masters: No Specific Order
1. Torterra
2. Gengar
3. Gengar Dusknoir (I think, it was Professor Magma just ask him)
4. Machamp
Seniors: in order
1. Kingdra
2. Gengar
3. Gengar Dusknoir
4. Kingdra
Juniors: in order but don't know 4th place
1. Kingdra
2. Gengar
3. Raichu
So overall I am seeing gengars and dusknoir/gengars doing really well, IMO I don't think straight gengar is realiable enough, I think just straight Dusknoir is better than Dusknoir/Gengar too but no one played it. keep in mind that this was only the first city championship though, I think we will have more of a solid metagame built up.

How about not playing gengar by itself? What you're saying is right but i think most good gengar builds run a secondary attacker or something similair. But lets give a pretty common scenario. You have gengar and claydol on field they have kingdra or some other good attacker, and a claydol with 30, or 60 on it. If you have a wager in hand play it then snipe their claydol you have an edge, IF you roll heads you bassically win right there. I mean thats a fairly common scenario too, nothing far-fetched.
From my experience with gengar if you roll 2 heads on gengars power throughout the game you win almost always. Just my two-cents

I play Gengar straight with techs.
Looking at what Bloodraek posted, I think that's about what the meta's gonna look like:
Tier 1:
Kingdra, Gengar Varients, Tort.
Tier 2:
Machamp Raichu.

Where's Dusknoir??

It was only played with Gengar, so I didn't list it as it's own deck.
Maybe it wasn't played by itself there? We'll see.
