(Note: I have not really played this season for I have classes all day on Saturdays.)

Alright I updated the main page a bit, changing some formatting and such.

As for the discussion, I'll be playing Dustox for States, although I still have to consider Gengar.

Well Dustox is good but Gengar i would take over it. With these sad Pokemon G you could snipe out there support for the win.

AIM Screen-name: Don't have one as of now.
Best Finish: NATS 08 (3rd tourney) 6-3 (not my best record, but NATS is the hardest)
Why Join Here?: Because I would enjoy discussing deck strategies, and decks with other "experienced" pokemon players over the internet. Since I don't have leagues where I live, it is good to discuss it with other players I believe.

SBR: 1st place (08) 4-1
FBR: 2nd place (08) 4-1
NATS: ? place. (08) 6-3
WORLDS: Planning on going this year, never been. (This is my first year playing, since SBR)
CC: 4-2 2nd place Louisville CC (09)/5-2 2nd place Kettering CC
States: My first is this year
Regionals: Same as above.

I hope you consider me as part of your team!

Alright I have already welcomed you new members via PM, but I guess I welcome you here too.

I have been been toying around with a Gengar deck. I have some good matchups against most deck, including Amphy which is nice.

For all of you members who don't have AIM, it is a free download, so you could get that pretty easily, it will help to communicate outside of the thread. It isn't needed, but it is nice.

Best Finish: 4th haven't been to much but I have experience
Why Join Here?: because I want to see what this team has to offer

I have top-cutted at all tourneys i went to last season( my 1st season )

DOX: What are you planning on playing in this Gengar deck?

Well I'm playing Gengar =P... To get a little more in-depth, I'm playing Dialga G Lv.X to help with Amphy, Shaymin, and other big PokeBody decks. I'm playing Memory Berrry to help lock Trainers, and for more powerful Poltergeists. So Gengar snipes Powers, shuts down Bodies, and locks Trainers. Not half bad...

Not half bad? Not half good. Better that half good! I think this would have a lot of potential, considering it does the following to the meta:

-Gets rid of pokebodies (Amphy, Shaymin, Rampardos)
-KO's quick decks w/Poltergeist, thanks to trainer count and Fainting spell (Kingdra, Rampardos, Machamp)
-Snipes those power pokemon (Drapion, Claydol, Uxie, and many more)
-Unknown G is not much of a factor, so you are fine.
-Memory berry makes it better late game.

I think this is an excellent idea. If the Jive can make it fast, this deck is unstoppable!

I am only testing BlastCatty now, but I think Cradily LA has ALOT of POTENTIAL this format. I have a few decks to try, and will keep you posted.

^Cradily=PWNage. I've had a Cradily Shaymin deck proxied for the last 6 months. Now I may finally get to use it.

Also for my Gengar deck, I am having trouble deciding on a Stadium. TST is nice and all, but I only play 2 Haunter so it doesn't do as much. I like Miasma Valley but it can be extremely useless against Shaymin, Plox, and other decks.

Also Dr.empoleon... are you a member of 3 TCG Teams already. I was able to check the other members, but I'm not 100% sure for you. If you are a member of 3 TCG Teams already then you are not allowed to join anymore Teams (Clan Council's Rules). Team Renegade has a member Mr.Empoleon. If that is you then you are in at least 4 TCG Teams.

Okay, Cradily/Shaymin is great, I love it.

As for Gengar: If your deck gets a T2 Gengar without TST, then why bother putting it in there? It really is no good. Misma Valley may be useless in a Plox/Shaymin matchup, but it is a good option with the originality in the formay.

I also think that a 1-0-1-1 Dusknoir DP tech could work, I mean, it could shuffle some cards from the bench into the opp.'s deck, and Noir X is a good stadium.

But, if none of these options fit, then I would say that no stadium is a good idea.

Ok. I am having some problems deciding what deck to use for states. as i only have 1 month till states i won't have enough time to make some of my desired decks i.e Rampardos. So it is eiither my Empoleon (good with hand disruption) or dustox, Who needs beautifly when you have dustox. Or G force-Just a deck that revolves around weavile G as main attacker with other G pokemon

I also know have AIM. Username is Empostar
