Take out the Poke Turn. The chances of you having a Poke Turn and a Crobat in play are slim unless you waste a (re)search on it. With no way to search out the Poke Turn, even more so.

I would add in Uxie Lv. X and possibly Cresselia/Cresselia Lv. X.
 
I think you're misreading Haunter's first attack. Haunter lets you put Trainers from your opponent's discard pile into your opponent's hand. It does not allow you to put Trainers from your discard pile into your hand.

Also, ignore above suggestion to remove Poke turn... Super Scoop Ups, however, you could probably do without. I would much rather run a card that is guaranteed to do something for me than one that is not. I would drop the 4 Super Scoop Ups and the Speed Stadium for 2 Broken Time-Space, 1 Haunter, 1 Uxie Lv. X, and maybe 1 Unown G, just in case.
 
I run a nearly identical deck and I love it. However I feel that BTS is a much more useful stadium because it makes the deck so versatile. I would replace the 3 stadiums you've got with BTS.

I also think a second night maintencance is key, because ensuring that you have an endless supply of Gengars is vital considering there is no alternative attacker. Maybe take out one SSU for it.

Lastly I really like SSU in this deck and would advise against completely taking it out because it can be used in so many ways if you use BTS.
 
Miasma Valley is simply amazing with Gengar. If your opponent plays down a Baltoy, it takes 20, then you finish it off with Shadow Room for 30. KOed before they even got their Claydol out. With a Broken Time-Space in play, you may get your Gengar out faster, but all of a sudden, they drop a Baltoy out of nowhere, evolve to Claydol, and get two Cosmic Powers before they're dead. In short, Miasma Valley gives them 0 Cosmic Powers, while BTS gives them 2.

EDIT: SF Haunter is much better than DP.
 
I dont say it is much better, DP hunter have asleep attack and free retreat, but little bit more little hp than SF and don't have SF haunter's two attacks.
 
Because I'm extremly unlucky :p

It was best out of 3..

Round 1 - Machamp

I got 2 active Gengar out of both matches and tails on BOTH fainting spells -_-

0-1


Round 2 - Palkia G/Giratina X

I won easy both matches, because he was a noob and I got a nice start.

1-1


Round 3 - Galactic's Toolbox

Game 1 - I gets an Unown G start and he wins after about 20 minutes.

Game 2 - Baltoy start :S but I gets one gengar out and kills two of his Pokémon. I had drew 2 prizes and he had only drew 1, but it's time up and he wins.

1-2

i agree with him Lol. Miasma valley definately is a better choice in gengar decks. And, i really prefer ssu and poketurn to have in gengars decks. SSU (if heads), u can scoop up ur uxie to setup or ur crobat G to flash bite again. SPAMMING damage counters + miasma valley will make ur shadow room work more effectively.:thumb: BTS is good, but it benefits ur opponents too. B4 they get their evolvelutions out, put 2 damage counters on their basics (if their basics are not grass and psychic type) and shadow room for it (if lets say their hp is 60, u can just put 2 damage counters on their basics with miasma, SSU/poketurn ur crobat G make it 3 damage counters, and shadow room for it for 6 damage counters). There you go, 1 easy price card u get.

U don't need 2 night maintainence though, 1 is enough to handle. Take out the speed stadium and 2 psychic energy to max out ur Bebe's/Roseanne/Rare candy for consistency. Rare candy must be max if u really wanna try taking out the BTS and replace it with miasma valley, which will make u swarm ur gengars more effectively.
