One of the reasons for having little Gengar VMAX in the competition may have to do with the consistency factor, something that is taken very seriously by players, especially for the so-called “pro players.” As strong as a deck is, it should be able to execute its strategy almost all the time and at this point, Mew VMAX and Arceus VSTAR are better. My surprise was not because of the deck’s capacity, but because there were only six Gengar decks among the 73 best players in the competition and half of them made it to the top 8. We recently had the Salt Lake Regionals and we had three Gengar VMAX decks in the top 8, which was a surprise to many, including me who has been enjoying and testing the deck for a while.
In the same way that Gengar VMAX can win everything, it can also lose anything because the biggest villain of the deck is consistency. Gengar VMAX is also able to play on equal terms against other decks of the format, such as Rapid Strike Malamar and Suicune / Ludicolo.īut if the deck in theory has balanced matchups against the metagame, then what is the bad matchup of the deck? And the answer is: itself. With ease of knocking out the two main Pokémon of the format, Gengar already proves that it deserves to be part of the tier one of the metagame, but it doesn’t stop there. Even if it is still not enough to guarantee a very favorable matchup, it guarantees at least a balanced matchup, but what surprised a lot of players is that Gengar VMAX is a great attacker against Arceus VSTAR as well, as it can knock it out with just one attack thanks to its Single Strike Energy. It’s very clear to say that Gengar is a good attacker against Mew VMAX. With only a few days to go before I’m back to participating in a regional after two years, I decided to intensify my tests a little more to be able to find the ideal deck choice for the competition and among all the options I tested, I think I’m enjoying Gengar VMAX the most, both for its strength but also for its good positioning in the metagame.
Hello to all CFB readers! Nathalia Fernandes here again with another Pokémon TCG article and this time, I’m going to talk about the Gengar VMAX list that I intend to use at Sao Paulo Regionals that’s a little different from the conventional one.
