[@dirtybombz]

Just started building a deck using gengar ex. Im using unfezant TEF and kingambit OBF to keep putting damage counters for the instant ko with kingambit

[@mdtenebris]

Oh that sounds dope! The kingambit addition is clutch. I've been working on an unfezant deck myself for the stream tomorrow. Pretty cool card. 😁

[@brianixriverakix5651]

such a sick idea to sneak in posion with gengar ex! gonna try this out, how do you feel about chilling regins gengar for the free retreats?

[@mdtenebris]

Chilling Reigns gengar? It just rotated I think. I know the Paldean Fates Gengar has the Night Gate ability where you can swap your active to your bench once per turn. Is that what you're referring to? It is also a dark type so would fit in this deck pretty nice. If you throw a version of that deck together let me know that sounds sick.

[@zephyr9755]

@@mdtenebris yo, since you playing arbok & talked about PAF gengar, ever thought of including hisuian sneasle v? i feel like it pairs well with arbok swinging for 240 if all 3 special condition is active & just needs a consistent switcher.

[@mdtenebris]

I had it in here originally but it got shoved for other cards. There should definitely be a deck with those two that works but with the festival grounds stadium and the ancient booster capsule it's getting tougher for status effect decks these days. But yeah, i think that could work in the right deck.

[@zephyr9755]

@@mdtenebris you're not wrong but i do feel like that will be a potential meta shift to this for shrouded fable via poison. With poison increasingly receive support buffs sets by sets like atticus from PAF & perilous jungle from TEF, it looked like poison seemed to be setting up as alternative meta decks. That & also we still have hisuian dark mons & dark patch still in rotation.
both PAF gengar & gengar ex are dark horses waiting to let loose to me. They are functional with existing cards available, but Shrouded fable will bump up all dark & poison deck for both energy acceleration (janine & crespin) & also binding mochi for additional dmg.
even after all that, i see both gengars currently relevant in 2 archetypes:
1. poison-based with access to hisuian overqwil (5 dmg counter poison per checkup raw with free energy+ 2 from radiant sneasler + 2 from perilous jungle)
2. dmg counter based via radiant alakazam, munkidori & PAR lokix for +40 dmg for each dmg counter on opp active mons. also PAR liepard if you wanna have gengar ex tank a hit & swing it back to your opp by transferring the dmg back to them effectively healing the gengar ex.
i myself have been trying to figure out the ideal trainer cards & count to pair both archetypes. but considering the mons line up, it make way too much sense for both of them.

[@mdtenebris]

That makes a lot of sense. I haven't looked at the setlist for shrouded fable yet so I don't know what's coming. I do know that a lot of the cards like atticus rely on your opponent being poisoned, and the stadiums and items they put into the game recently nullify status changes so you just can't poison the opponent without knocking out the stadium or running lost vacuum to counter those. I do love a good poison deck though and they are adding a bunch of interesting cards for them so I'm hopeful you're right and they'll be more viable with whatever is coming down the line. I should go check that set out actually lol.

[@brentdeluca1354]

Love it im going to build this

[@mdtenebris]

Good luck! Let me know any improvements you make.

[@AlmightyTurtleman]

How did U get so many gems???

[@mdtenebris]

I grind harder than a skater boy's nuts on a grind rail. Naw I'm kidding, I had a Pokemon TCGOnline account and when they closed the old game down and force migrated everyone, if you had 125 booster packs in your inventory you got 12k credits and 12k gems as compensation. I also don't spend much, really only on the VIP battle pass so they stack up with the daily quests.

[@gabrielsane]

Cool !!!!

[@mdtenebris]

Thank you!

[@phoboszelus]

Not gonna lie to you, this isn't even close to a good Gengar deck. I can't imagine how inconsistent this deck is and I'd rather play literally anything else.
If anyone reading this wants a real Gengar deck that has consistency and an actual win condition, play this one.

Make your own channel. The point of videos like this is so people can get a chance to see what DOESN'T work.

[@phoboszelus]

Gonna have to import it to live to see the list properly because of different rarities of cards being listed as a new card.

[@phoboszelus]

@@adaptking3170 bruh what you said makes 0 sense. He only shows games where he won so how can the general community know that it's shit without getting baited into playing it. I did everyone a favor and dropped a decent list for people to not waste their time and currency on. Didn't know I needed my own channel to have an opinion and a recommendation. Smooth brain logic.

[@mdtenebris]

@@phoboszelus Most of the time I'm just trying to show games where the deck works so people can see how they can incorporate aspects into their own decks. I have included losses before.

[@phoboszelus]
