Just wanted to know what you think of CurseGar after the rotation?

I Remember I asked this question a while back,but it always kind of sat in my mind and now that VileGar has been working well,thought it my work a little better than it did a month ago or so I asked the question the first time.
 
I think CurseGar could go really well with the new Gengar Prime and Lost World because you can use the Shadow Skip attack on CurseGar to knockout your opponents pokemon and in the process switch out CurseGar for the Gengar Prime on your bench thus sending 1-3 pokemon to the lost zone depending on the evolution stage. However, that tactic would not work vs. Dialga G Lv. X, so make sure you have a counter for that.
 
Gengar LV.X is a counter to Dialga G LV.X, Cimurph.

I think CurseGar could make a comeback, however, DialgaChomp has and always will be a tough matchup for it. Same with LuxChomp and Sablelock.
 
Gengar Lv. X won't always work though considering your opponent would have Power Spray, I like Umbreon (UD) as an easy stage 1 counter to put in especially if you want a Gengar counter as well. Also, you may not be running a Gengar Lv. X if you are running 2 each of Gengar Prime and CurseGar. It all depends on deck composition. Also, I think CurseGar will become a major player next season (provided platinum gets rotated), granted it could become amazingly slow with the loss of BTS (provided they don't reprint it or make it a promo).
 
I posted my deck here http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=87979 Tell me what you think of it.
I always loved the idea of CurseGar.
