Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Is Gengar-Cresselia Lv. X Dead?

I don't think so either. it's a very good deck IMO. we'll just have to wait and see what happens at nats and worlds.
 
The same way I explain Gengar Machamo winning states. I laugh and call it a terrible deck regardless.
Incidentally, what division was this in?
 
I won Florida Masters with GeChamp with a Cresselia tech. Might be a terrible deck but glad I played it....got me some glass!! Son won Seniors...11-0 with no Cresselia. Glad he played it too.
 
I know the deck does not seem to make sense or have synergy. It is all about having two attackers with 1 energy attacks. The deck has the potential for fast kill but it is more about taking control mid game with the right attacker for the situation as the deck can get bad starts. Pokeblowers are the key and many people that built the deck did not realize how important they were to the success. And Cynthias for recovery.

pokeblower is one of my fave cards, it has saved my butt in many matches using scizor.

and i think it is good, my friend plays it, but it won't be used a lot because of the use of palkiazam. if that fails, i can see it being a viable deck.

I know, I also take a look at Mario and see the same thing. Two attackers with cheap, early cost attacks, and no synergy otherwise. Forgive me if I'm missing something, but it looks like a new age Mario, which doesn't seem to be a deck you would make.
 
Grafton had played Gengar almost all season with big success....although he can play just about anything and do good. I felt Gengar was good play for states but had concentrated on Gengar/Manetric/Palkia (Restructure) with 4 switches which I still think is good but lacks the big hitter also. Carson went with Gengar/Cress/Mewtwo to GA and got 4th. On the way home we talked and decided that a Machamp line and blowers might push it over the edge and we could catch everyone off guard without Unown G being used in the Galactic decks. We even played it Friday night at Florida states and I won that event. It worked. I did not dominate any game and did have some luck that day....but any deck needs some luck to win a big event. I thought I would get 2-3 donks during the day and do well in top cut if I got that far. I got no donks and played 3 games in all the four rounds of tops. Great deck....no. Good play for our Metagame...yes. I avoided most of the bad matchups that day...also a must at a big event. I got the good hands when I needed them most. I got everything I needed against you and more when I already had an advantage. I was able to Foresight Twitchy and keep him without a hand for 5 turns while I sniped away at him or that could have been a game loss for me. Omar made a huge mistake in swiss in the last round or he would have beaten me as well. It was just my day. But Carson made tops with it and Grafton went 11-0 that day as well. Pretty solid I would say.
 
^together?
i think gengar could be good, some peopl made T8 at regionals with it here. it's kinda hard to play though, and it has some shaky matchups.
 
It was dead? I had no idea. I think 6-1 in swiss and a top cut is quite good for a so called "skill-less donk deck" especially when a large majority of my games were me working for my win by coming back in late game or controlling the board.

I fail to see how Gengar is such a bad deck. I mean it must be really bad if the 2008 Worlds champion was using it at St. Louis Regis, right?
