13:12 90% of the time, you’ll want to Slab before you Ball. Only exception is if getting an evolution card is more important to you than getting a basic at that time, then you’ll want to Ball before Slab. For Oak vs. Slab, you need to count your mons in your deck. If you have more than 50% mons, Slab first, if you have less than 50%, Oak first.
If you have Slab and no Oak/Ball, you should count your mons. Same thing above 50% use it, below hold it unless your really need a mon for one reason or another. Worst case scenario, you put a trainer on the bottom of your deck and have a better chance of drawing that mon next turn. If you don’t need a Mon, and you have less that 50% Mon cards in your deck, then don’t use it. If you really need a trainer, then don’t use it at all, but that’s something you’ll have to feel out in the moment. Is the chance of finding the Mon you kinda want more impactful than drawing the trainer you really need next turn?
What I’m trying to figure out is if Mythical Slab is cracked and should be at two copies in every psychic deck, or if it’s just good and should be ran at 1 copy, or even cut completely if you need the room. I’m sure there’s a point where if you’re running Mew 18Trainer, it’s not good at all, and if you’re running Gardevoir, Gengar, and Alakazam (please don’t) then it’s absolutely crucial. So where’s the break point?
@@pjanderson4876That's really hard to answer. From a mathematical standpoint, one could run thousands of simulations to figure out at which point it is worth playing x numbers of slabs. But it also really depends on the deck and the value an additional trainer card, instead of the slab, would bring. In short: I have no idea xD.
Slab before ball is always better if you're looking to simply draw a card off of slab. But ball before slab is better if you're looking to specifically get an evolution pokemon. So yes, there is an exception. If drawing an evolution pokemon ASAP is your only path to victory, it's worth lowering the overall chances of slab hitting in order to increase your odds of getting the evolution pokemon you need.
I feel your pain being on the receiving end of good celebi flips. I played a match recently where my opponent was first and got his articuno out there and played misty with 8 head flips in a row. Mans got enough energy to power the rest of the match, his next 3 matches, and his little brothers match with one misty. HOLY
On the other hand, I once saw a Celebi flip ZERO OUT OF SIX flips when he only needed to win two to KO me. I won that match that I had absolutely no right to.
I had my pikachu ex ohkoed by 7 flips on the new eevee once. It surprised me so much, I couldn't even be that mad, especially with eeveelutions being one of my favorite pet decks.
@@breloommaster12my mew ex today did 2/6 coins while copying celebi (needed three), but in response celebi rolled 1/8 (needed two). Peak Pokemon gaming
just tried this deck and i really enjoyed it, bouncing mew to stall early game really helps setting up Gengar in the back. I do think there is room for sabrina in there just to clutch some retreats but so far this is the best Gengar EX has felt.
Would leave x in, and add one leaf for potion, feel like being a supporter and not an item could make a big difference in this deck if looking for evelutions for gengar
I think Slab > Pokeball is a lot more situational than you think. You're almost always gonna follow up the slab with a pokeball if you have it, so your always gonna shuffle the deck. I get the idea behind using your pokeball to keep your Prof/Explorer (for example) cards as far away from the bottom as possible. But again, situational. The way I play it is, if it is my first pokeball of the game, I'll use it before the slab in most cases because, it limits the pool for slab to pull a basic card. It could be argued that you're reducing your odds of drawing a psychic card with slab if you drew one before it with a pokeball (IE: on your first turn you get both slab and pokeball as well as your guaranteed basic pokemon. And also lets say your remaining cards are a psychic and a trainer card for the sake of the example. If you use slab right away, odds of pulling a psychic card are 7/14 aka 50%. But if you use pokeball first, you reduce those odds to 6/13 aka ~46%.), but I'll explain why I don't mind the negligible (> 4%) difference. Generally, I want my slab to pull me a Haunter or a Gengar. Why is that so important? You have 5 Basic pokemons. You are guaranteed at least 1 at the start of the game, so you have 4 more remaining. The ways you can get those remaining 4 basic cards are either through drawing with you "start of turn" draw, a Prof. draw, a Slab coinflip draw, or a guaranteed Pokeball draw. You have 4 avenues of doing so. On the other hand, you are not guaranteed neither your haunter or gengar in your opener hand. Meaning you also have 4 non-basic cards that you're trying to draw into. Especially since the deck revolves around Gengar's ability to shut down enemy cards just by existing. Only issue is, you don't have something that says "Draw a random non-basic card" yet, so your avenues of getting said cards are knocked down to 3. Which is why I'd rather my slabs pull me a haunter or gengar, and if they pull me a basic, it's aight. (Also, imagine a scenario where you just drew your last basic card with slab, and you have a pokeball in hand? Daaaaamn, that would suck xD) But again, that whole logic is based off of turn 1. Which is why I think Slab > Pokeball is situational. It's just depends on what you want it to do for you right then and there. Heck, I've been debating running the deck with 1 Slab and 1 Pokedex to scout out my next 3 turns. If I know I'm getting a Psychic card beforehand, I can remove the bottom-decking-a-card factor. And it never hurts to know your next 3 draws. If you scout your next 3 cards as all non-psychic, and you have a prof. oak, you can drop the prof, wait a turn, and then roll your luck on the next turn with the slab. At least by that point, you'll know you removed 3 trainer cards out of the deck, thus making your odds for a psychic much higher. Sorry for rambling. I don't mean to judge or critic, just want to help a fellow pokemon lover with his strats. First time I tune in and you seem chill. And if anyone wants to have a friendly debate, I'm open ^_^
@@payow_ TL;DR: Slab would sometimes serve you better if it drew a non-basic card (Haunter/Gengar 4 cards total) since you already have pokeball to guarantee you 2/5 Basic pokemon and another 1 guaranteed basic pokemon from opening hand. ------------------------- I'd still read it as it provides a perspective on one of the many strategies streamers seldom touch on, but pros heavily implement (assigning values to cards, goals for them, and counting them each turn) I do not claim to be a pro by any measure, but I've been playing YGO, MTG, Pokemon and recently One Piece for the last 25 years or so of my life. Once I started seeing TCG battles from a perspective of numbers and card values, my strategizing changed. It actually revolutionized most of my tactics. But hey, that's if you wanna take the game seriously. If you wanna have fun, don't. It actually sucks some of the fun out of it when you understand why your opponent beat you.
Glad you mentioned Jynx, a lot of channels are only talking about the fire deck to counter attack Celebi, but man, Im consistently winning to the meta with Jynx and Alakazam.
If gengar needs the mew to do good then the gengar isn't providing this is just a mew deck with a jynx being a counter to celebis all gengar does is warm the bench if anything ill just play any other psychic because regardless this deck recipe for "MEW EX" is actually solid
I unfortunately agree. I love gengar but, let's be real, it's a mew ex deck. We didn't really see a gengar clutch in this video, but I think alakazam would be incredible.
Like you guys said its sad gengar isn't great, Alakazam is far superior he becomes a beast with this deck Altought ex Gengar is not great normal gengar does work way better if your objective is to disprupt trainers and still use gengar because of the one energy use and 1 point ko but again Alakazam is ten times better
I've been running a similar list for the past couple days and I'm loving it! So happy Gengar seems to have found a niche now. It feels great against Mewtwo and Blaine, and even-ish against Celebi. I've been running only 4 basics, but the Jinx is interesting tech, might have to try it. I'd consider swapping an X-speed with a Sabrina personally. Since everything has only 1 retreat cost other than Gengar, and Expeditioner counts as a retreat itself for Mew, I find the X-Speeds aren't quite as necessary as they typically are here. Also Sabrina can be much more threatening than normal when you have Gengar up, especially since people are favoring Leaf nowadays.
Isn't the right order Mythical Slab > Prof Oak > Poké ball? Because if you draw pokemons with prof's research you reduce the chances of drawing with slab
I had the same realization and made almost this exact deck, only I landed on one Gengar EX and one base gengar. The single energy helps a lot for stalling in the games where you need to actually load the mew or find the jynx. Tried two jynx as well. Undecided on whether that's worth it. Better odds of finding it feels good into celebi decks.
Hi Xatumi! Great video!! I tried to find but I haven't seen it yet. Can you do a quick video how to play Poket from the PC? Maybe a quick guide? We would really appreciate it!
if you use the slab before the ball the card that the slab puts at the end of the deck doesnt stay there cause of the pokeball changing the order of all cards, doesn´t make sense
I saw on a vid, someone from a tournament or something like that, used just the gengar line. I tried it once and it failed miserably due to a bad draw, but maybe that was a fluke.
I just got a Rainbow Gengar, and I got my 2nd Mew ex Rainbow from a Wonderpick yesterday. I just need 1 more Gengar Rainbow to have a full Rainbow set up. I hope they do 2 star cards of the items one day, too. The 2 star trainers are great, would love some 2 star pokeflutes and mythic slabs.
15:32 lol yesterday I nearly uninstalled the game. I went 1/15 for heads on Moltres. I haven't played a battle since, but I just open the game to open my packs 😩😩.
Wait, did Gengar ex always have a rainbow art?! Same with Machamp ex and Wigglytuff ex?! I swear it was only the birds when I was looking at things I needed, how did I miss this??
Iam using 1 Druddigon instead of 2 mew because Druddigon does the chip dmg that’s needed to ohko a lot of 130 hp meta threats. And ofc 2 gio on top. Also iam using 1 Ex and 1 baby it’s just more consistent. Druddigon is also s good tsnk against weezing and cost no energy it’s just way too good
I think you made it a bit complicated in explaining how Budding Ex. is Koga for Mew Ex xD by avoiding saying it's Koga for Mew Ex. It's just better Koga for Mew Ex instead of Wheezing, because Mew Ex is a basic. Buuut gives 2 points on kill instead of 1. Give and take.
You're so intent on not loosing anything important with slab, but most of the time, it is good to put something on the bottom of your deck because it gets you closer to your haunter or gengar. If you put potion on the bottom, that's good. Are you then going to hold on to pokeball or shuffle potion back? Both of those options are bad. Just play slab last.
@Xatumi as long as you understand my line of reasoning, that's all I care about. Hold to your own conclusion and maybe one day data from us both playing our own ways will give us a more concrete answer.
I like how you give the option to say YOLO it or just simply be a chill guy and watch the vid for strats in certain situations. keep up the awesome content dude.
My deck is similar, i instead run 2 base gengar, and 1 ex dropping jynx, regular gengar is pretty energy efficient, then you make the ex in the late game
I wish they reduce the timer also put a timer on the very start where you gonna put a basic Pokémon first. I've been encountering this annoying players that it took 3-5 minutes just to put a basic Pokémon since there's no timer most of the time they afk for so long and its annoying.
We really need another gengar that does more damage maybe with another ability while his is usefull its not worth the low damage on a stage 2 evo even if he gets less bulky it will be okay, what really gets him to be so low in power is that there is so much powercreeps he becomes not worth it.. now if his ability was stopping talents or retreat instead..👀
Why Gengar EX? Well, I mean, I get that it's fun to use Gengar, and so the Mew engine, Mythical Slab, and Jinx make any Psychic line "better", because that's the whole deck. Lol. But let's be honest, most of your games Mew and Jinx are taking over the game. I feel like some other control shell might be funny. Like Hypno on the bench (online at the same time as getting Haunter) while giving you an extra card slot for something else and reducing the number of dead cards for Mythical Slab. A control shell with Mew bounce tech and Hypno would free up slots for Amber and you could run a singleton Aerodactyl EX with no Psychic energy over Potion just to randomly blow out your opponent (you can't draw him off Pokéball or Slab, and it can randomly disrupt your opponent's game plan and shut out their last Pokémon, even if you never attack eyeball it). Or, since Mew is super splashable and Jinx is fairly splashable, you can turn on Fighting Energy and run Aerodactyl as a main threat, cut the Hypno idea. Or run the Mew/Jinx set with literally anything else in the format since they're kinda nutty. Lol. Both basics and splashable, so you can just slot them into any deck you want. 😂
I think Leaf is better than xspeed here since the other supporters are professor and expeditioner only and you are not going to need xpeed if you are using expeditioner. it is a very slight difference though since the only 2 retreat cost pokemon is gengar.
Doing 0 damage I feel hurts Gengar EX more long term than it helps to set it up. Especially when a Pokemon is 170+ hp and has 2 Potions or some other combination of max hp+supporters that stop you from reaching their damage threshold. Anyone who plays the Machamp and Blastoise EX cards knows that accumulating damage from the previous stages early on puts pressure on the opponent and helps you plan out how to set up your bench (for cheaper energy cost) and remain a step ahead-Marshadow, Greninja, and in Gengar's case: Jynx.
I just ran over an Articuno Misty deck 6 Gengar EX line 1 Jinx 1 Porygon 2 Potions 2 X Speeds 2 Balls 2 Slabs 2 Oak 1 Giovanni 1 free slot for w/e; I opted for Blue Gengar EX and Jinx + Giovanni are enough to take out a Gyarados EX after it takes 2 potions. And Gengar one shots the walls like Druddigon and Kanga reliably while also being relatively beefy for 170 hp
Gonna be real man, the deck sucks. Tried it out and it just relies too heavily on having the right set up from the get go. It struggles to recover quick enough if it falls behind due to a messed up set up. Sometimes you’re missing the card you need to evolve or you’re missing mew for the early set up. Often you find yourself holding onto supporter cards rather than using them. Hell just watching this video I barely ever see you use the budding expeditioner. As much as I would love a deck with Gengar and Mew to work, it just doesn’t. There’s too many things that can go wrong and you’re left scrambling for an answer when they do.
Watch your video and I made your deck better. 😂 Not going tell you which card needs to be changed with. I'll let you discover that for yourself. My only gripe about this ganger deck is energy out put. No energy ramp slow to get on or less you use mew as a dummy card to get energy on ganger. Still it's a nice deck but get get over run by 2 other decks. Until ganger get ramp it's still 50/50. Have a nice day.😂
I wish people would stop calling decks busted. The game is no different from any other card game. You get bad hands, bad coin tosses and PvP pairs you with an opponent with the best deck to beat the one you use. ITS ALL BULLSHIT!!!!
> 2 coin flips to Sleep and stick the landing > "100%" > speculation of a Full Heal item card coming soon Maybe for now, but next month is highkey gonna send this deck straight to the dumpster.
I once saw Gengar KO three celebis in a bar with a pencil
with a fucking pencil
Gengar once stopped global warming being so cool and chill
Gengar once fart and big bang was created
A FREECKEN PENCIL!!!
WHO DOES THAT?!
Your comment made my day lmao 😂

I think you made it a bit complicated in explaining how Budding Ex. is Koga for Mew Ex xD by avoiding saying it's Koga for Mew Ex. It's just better Koga for Mew Ex instead of Wheezing, because Mew Ex is a basic. Buuut gives 2 points on kill instead of 1. Give and take.
You're so intent on not loosing anything important with slab, but most of the time, it is good to put something on the bottom of your deck because it gets you closer to your haunter or gengar. If you put potion on the bottom, that's good. Are you then going to hold on to pokeball or shuffle potion back? Both of those options are bad. Just play slab last.
disagree
@Xatumi as long as you understand my line of reasoning, that's all I care about. Hold to your own conclusion and maybe one day data from us both playing our own ways will give us a more concrete answer.
how do u play pokemon tcg on pc?
2nd game. Imagine he had Sabrinas instead of the Mew Kogas
All these matches, didnt use that exploration
I prefer Will-O-Wisp Haunter over this one. Because, 1 I do not have the other, and 2, 30 guaranteed damage is better than 20 points more or fluke.
I like how you give the option to say YOLO it or just simply be a chill guy and watch the vid for strats in certain situations.
keep up the awesome content dude.
I got a grass deck dominating with out celebi to much status posin to sleep 2 heavy hitters to finish off perfect team
My deck is similar, i instead run 2 base gengar, and 1 ex dropping jynx, regular gengar is pretty energy efficient, then you make the ex in the late game
I wish they reduce the timer also put a timer on the very start where you gonna put a basic Pokémon first. I've been encountering this annoying players that it took 3-5 minutes just to put a basic Pokémon since there's no timer most of the time they afk for so long and its annoying.
Someone tell me how i pulled 3 gengar ex and not a single gastly
We really need another gengar that does more damage maybe with another ability while his is usefull its not worth the low damage on a stage 2 evo even if he gets less bulky it will be okay, what really gets him to be so low in power is that there is so much powercreeps he becomes not worth it.. now if his ability was stopping talents or retreat instead..👀
I feel like the double energy shouldn't count towards pokemon like jinx. It seems unfair
I been using sigilyph with gengar ro just run through the deck and its been solid
I feel like Gengar isnt doing anything, can someone explain the value
Opponent can’t use Trainers which is huge!
Why Gengar EX?
Well, I mean, I get that it's fun to use Gengar, and so the Mew engine, Mythical Slab, and Jinx make any Psychic line "better", because that's the whole deck. Lol. But let's be honest, most of your games Mew and Jinx are taking over the game.
I feel like some other control shell might be funny. Like Hypno on the bench (online at the same time as getting Haunter) while giving you an extra card slot for something else and reducing the number of dead cards for Mythical Slab.
A control shell with Mew bounce tech and Hypno would free up slots for Amber and you could run a singleton Aerodactyl EX with no Psychic energy over Potion just to randomly blow out your opponent (you can't draw him off Pokéball or Slab, and it can randomly disrupt your opponent's game plan and shut out their last Pokémon, even if you never attack eyeball it).
Or, since Mew is super splashable and Jinx is fairly splashable, you can turn on Fighting Energy and run Aerodactyl as a main threat, cut the Hypno idea.
Or run the Mew/Jinx set with literally anything else in the format since they're kinda nutty. Lol. Both basics and splashable, so you can just slot them into any deck you want. 😂
I just got my second GengarEx card so let's go!!! 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
Finally a Gengar deck
I think Leaf is better than xspeed here since the other supporters are professor and expeditioner only and you are not going to need xpeed if you are using expeditioner. it is a very slight difference though since the only 2 retreat cost pokemon is gengar.
Jinx is a STRAIGHT MENACE! 😮💨
I hope they release a poke that cancels enemy pokes abilities
Not a huge fan of mythical slab. Honestly I think I'd rather just use Chatot since you can grab a lot more cards in one go.
Doing 0 damage I feel hurts Gengar EX more long term than it helps to set it up. Especially when a Pokemon is 170+ hp and has 2 Potions or some other combination of max hp+supporters that stop you from reaching their damage threshold.
Anyone who plays the Machamp and Blastoise EX cards knows that accumulating damage from the previous stages early on puts pressure on the opponent and helps you plan out how to set up your bench (for cheaper energy cost) and remain a step ahead-Marshadow, Greninja, and in Gengar's case: Jynx.
I've never played without Sabrina. I don't know, it feels horrible in my head...
I got 3 gold star celebi today the animation one
If only I pulled a mew ex instead of 4 celebi ex 😅
One porygon would be good in it
I just ran over an Articuno Misty deck
6 Gengar EX line
1 Jinx
1 Porygon
2 Potions
2 X Speeds
2 Balls
2 Slabs
2 Oak
1 Giovanni
1 free slot for w/e; I opted for Blue
Gengar EX and Jinx + Giovanni are enough to take out a Gyarados EX after it takes 2 potions.
And Gengar one shots the walls like Druddigon and Kanga reliably while also being relatively beefy for 170 hp
Not good, i saw mythical slab slap proffesor research to the end of the deck
This deck relies heavily on luck to get mew or great cards and can mostly win against niche decks.Not a good one for tournament in my opinion.
Anyone else see his videos and notice a very slight audio delay? it's always a little distracting.
it might be your headphones. when i use different headphones there is a weird audio delay, but when i use my speakers its fine.
@Xatumi I was watching on TV, but I'll check some other devices.
You didn't find Mew but if you had Sabrina you would have won that second match
Freaking celebi is so busted. I hate encountering it
That play by the scolipede deck at 9:00 is pretty bad lmao
2:28 jinx 💔😭
I don’t get why Gengar is good with mew…it seems like you didn’t really ever benefit from gengar and just used Mew ex
Mythcal stone definaly dont help at'all... Professors, Pokeballs, All go to Botton.... Better cards.
Gonna be real man, the deck sucks. Tried it out and it just relies too heavily on having the right set up from the get go. It struggles to recover quick enough if it falls behind due to a messed up set up. Sometimes you’re missing the card you need to evolve or you’re missing mew for the early set up. Often you find yourself holding onto supporter cards rather than using them. Hell just watching this video I barely ever see you use the budding expeditioner. As much as I would love a deck with Gengar and Mew to work, it just doesn’t. There’s too many things that can go wrong and you’re left scrambling for an answer when they do.
mew counter is farfetch d
U shd use sabrina bruh😉
It’d be funny if you genomehack dugtrios whatttt???
thinking gengar is good is copium, I say this as a gengar lover
Watch your video and I made your deck better. 😂 Not going tell you which card needs to be changed with. I'll let you discover that for yourself. My only gripe about this ganger deck is energy out put. No energy ramp slow to get on or less you use mew as a dummy card to get energy on ganger. Still it's a nice deck but get get over run by 2 other decks. Until ganger get ramp it's still 50/50. Have a nice day.😂
I wish people would stop calling decks busted. The game is no different from any other card game. You get bad hands, bad coin tosses and PvP pairs you with an opponent with the best deck to beat the one you use. ITS ALL BULLSHIT!!!!
The version with hypno is 100x better than this haha
> 2 coin flips to Sleep and stick the landing
> "100%"
> speculation of a Full Heal item card coming soon
Maybe for now, but next month is highkey gonna send this deck straight to the dumpster.
Gengars attack is mediocre
This deck stinks.
I went 10-0 so far with this deck
Please for the love of God leave "funniest thing ever" in 2024. No more in 2025.
I got the funniest thing ever for you in 2025
@@Xatumi I'm calling the police.
Yeah consistently trash 😅
