Gengar SF + Rescue Energy

[Jahikoi]

Should mother gengar make a return?

Gengar SF + 4 Rescue Energy + Nidoqueen + Energy Exchange Unit (or similar card; for searching out rescue energy)


Are there any cards that would let you get special energies from the discard into your hand? Either way; think about it - just keep sending up gengars to be knocked out (while doing damage, of course.)

I don't think Gengar needs Rescue Energy. Most players will kills your Gengar without doing direct damage, such as poison or a Crobat G. That render both your Feinting Spell AND Rescue Energy useless.

Gengar SF is great already on his own, if you're not running him with Vileplume, just go for speed and swarming.

^People do use cards like Uxie and Shuppet though.

To get the Special Energy from the Discard, off the top of my head the only one I can think of is Drifblim SF, which lets you take two cards out of your discard and into your hand. There are probably other options, but that's the only one I can think of.

As for actually running it, I'd rather run Gengar with some Call Energy for some consistency, but this works too. Definitely nice to keep Gengar swarms coming.

^It is a bit problematic to KO a Gengar SF without activating Fainting Spell; while it is a preferred method, it wastes a turn or two of less effective attacks. Rescue Energy forces your opponent to play around FS for most of the, if not entire, game.
