Subject: Card of the Day- Shadow Assassin
Hello, this is Shadow Assassin Bringing you another Card of the Day. Which Card of the day I will soon find out. So, Dubya Bush, what card are we gonna do?
W: Umm, lets see here. How about Goku?
Me: Uh, Dubya, this is pokémon.
W: Oh, sorry. Umm... Uhhh... Ahhh... Umm... What about Craw Giant?
Me: Dubya. This is pokémon. Pokémon. Pick a pokémon card from the drawer labeled "Pokémon Cards"!
W: Umm... Uhhh... Ok. How about... Ummm... Uhhh... Err... Goldeen! or Staryu! How about Mankey?
Me: Uhhh... Mr. President.
W: Who me?
Me: Yes you. You won the election. Remember? Hanging chads and butterfly ballots in Florida?
W: Oh yeah. Thanks Brother!
Me: Change of plan.
Osama: Hahahahahah. The card you will do is Igglybuff! The terroist like myself!
Crobats swoop from the sky and attack Osama.
W: Hey! The bat thingies ate Bill Gates.
Collin Powell: Sir, that was Osama bin Laden.
W: Who?
Me: Fine! I'll go ask Monty Python!
I leave and proced to Monty Python's HQ.
Me: Sir, where are Monty Python?
Desk Manager: Room 12 sir.
I proceed to room 12.
Man: Toffee-nosed Maloderous Pervert!
Me: I'm here to ask Monty Python what Card of the Day I should do.
Man: Oh, you want room 12 B. Brainless git. This is the room for Abuse.
Me: Figures.
I go to room 12 B.
Michael Palin: As a member of the council for Putting things on top of other things, I suggest you do an evolution card. Then you can put the evolutionon the basic pokémon.
Terry Gilliam: I ktnih oyu loshud od Asibans'r Regnag.
Me: Is he talking in anagrams?
Eric Idle: Fo ourcse Rm. Dashow Sanissass.
John Cleese: If you don't want to unscramble this rubbish, he says that Shadow Assassin should do the card Sabrina's Gengar.
Terry Jones: Who?
John Cleese: Sabrina's Gengar. You know, purple ghost.
Terry Jones: Oh, sorry. I thought you said bacon.
Me: Well, I'd love to stay but I've got a card of the day to do.

Ok, Now Finally I can do my card of the day: Asibans'r Regnag. Oops, I mean Sabrina's Gengar.

The Spanish Inquisition- Nobody Expects the Sabrina's Gengar!

Sabrina- Huh. That's funny. I thought I trained Psychic Type. This is Ghost.

Blaine- Not by the rules of the Card Game, Sabrina.

Koga- I don't know why Shadow Assassin keeps asking me to do quotes.

Claire- I don't know why he is only picking pokémon trainers.

Gumbies (Monty Python Reference)- CLAIR   YOU   FORGOT   ABOUT   THE    SPANISH   INQUISITION   AND   US  

Ok. Enough with the quotes. Sorry to keep you all waiting so long. Sabrina has 2 good Gengars. They possess powerful attacks. If you want to see them in action, look at my Sabrina's Gengar deck fix. The holo one has 10 more HP, but they are pretty much equal. The holo has a solid attack (Call of the Night) and an attack that can really hurt with the right deck (Pain Amplifier). I've seen this thing go through everything. His best allies are Sabrina's Hypno, Sabrina's Mr. Mime, Rocket's Training Gym, or Fossil Gengar. The other one is also freakishly powerful. Dark Wave is like Sputter, and Shadow Bind is like a damaging Mean Look. These both can beat the following cards: Hitmonchan, TR Zappy, Baby Pokémon, Mewtow, Sometimes Steelix, Slowking, Giovanni's Machamp, TR Hitmonchan, Donphan, Sabrina's Anthing Else, etc. They loose to the following cards: Sneasel, Murkrow, Typhlosion (Sometimes), Feraligatr. The odds seem to be against them with the

Now, a look at the devolutions:

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't think it would be worth it to put the Gastlys in, because you all already have them. The Haunter with 70 is a lot better. Shadow Attack works with the Holo Gengar, and Nitemare is decent with the Rare. As for the Gastlys, the 40 and 50 HP ones are better than the crap 30 HP. The 40 Hp should go with the Holo Gengar, and the 50 Hp works nicely with the Rare.

In all, I give this card 6/10 in standard. With Sneasel in every deck, Gengar has no chance.

In Modified it is slighty better, getting a 7/10 from me.
