Wanting to test a new competitive deck with friends? Well look no further, as this might be the deck for you! I’m so pumped up for the new set of X&Y coming out in November. This set is known as “Phantom Gates” which is the English name (Phantom Forces is the Japanese name).

Deck Review:
All stars to this deck
Gengar EX: Absolutely love this guy. His first attack is “Night Attack” which requires only 1 colorless energy. It allows you to put 3 damage counters on your opponent’s pokemon. Not too shabby for 1 energy but not the best attack. The real killer is the move “Dark Corridor” which requires 2 colorless energy and 1 psychic. This attack does 60 damage, posions the opponent’s pokemon AND gengar retreats! How cool is that?
Dragalge: This card is a monster in this deck. This card prevents the opponent’s pokemon from retreating if the pokemon is poisoned. The deck revolves around posion!
Mewtwo EX: He is our main and solid attacker if the original plan doesn’t fall through.
Other honorable mentions
Toxicroak EX: Helps with the posion…a decent card overall
Hypnotoxic Laser: A staple in this deck
Stay tuned for more decklists and if you guys decided to build this, let me know how well it does!
