    Discussion The Math on Talonflame

    What's done is done. But it certainly now lays the foundation for expanding discussion, given what are chances are that talonflame is successful: Is Talonflame worth it? And what other decks do we see synergy for this reckless set-up followed by 3 completely useless cards? In a thread...

    News 'Rayquaza vs. Keldeo Battle Arena Deck' in September!

    My nephews got the Xerneas vs Yvetal Arena deck, and I got their Trevor and foil energies just recently. Holy Miltank the foil energies are nice! I had forgone the Mewtwo vs Darkrai arena decks because I did not value the Expanded Ex-cards (sue me if you want,) but I will be buying these decks...

    Discussion The Math on Talonflame

    Actually, you are incorrect. Read my stats again. You're saying 40% is the cap at success, but it's not - you run 4 Talonflame, all of the time. You have to, the strategy almost demands it if you are building a deck centered around Talonflame set-up (this is why we got off-topic a tad bit -...

    Discussion Greedy Dice - is it worth it

    In worlds, someone supposedly pulled it off to get 4 prizes from a Shaymin-EX thanks to deltaPlus Articuno. I think it can work with Articuno, Umbreon-EX, or Slowbro for getting more prizes or closing out the game. It just...is part of a gimmicky deck build that you might not run anyway...

    I point to your attention the public XLS https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByFlyUy0nCCURmdZeEZoWmFOU0E/edit So, A LOT of peolpe liked my Talonflame posts both here and elsewhere (I guess it's a good sign), so I did statistics with Greedy Dice. These are very different, and I don't expect to get...

    Discussion The Math on Talonflame

    I'm updating my post to reflect that it is 21times that has his math oversimplified. I don't know if you're wrong, techsquirrel - but I will look through the math (you are a bit off) But it's almost pointless to run non-max count Talonflame, when you are relying on it as much as the Greninja...

    Event M Audino-EX wins Worlds?!?

    Night March created a toxic environment that necessitated cheap-tactics and fast-hitting Pokemon, and a Metal Toolbox. Volcanion destroyed Metal Toolbox. And Greninja had HORRID luck, getting TWO non-Talonflame starts (my word,) and 2 without Greninja in the deck at all. Considering that I...

    Discussion The Math on Talonflame

    I'm bumping this because of Worlds. I posted this on the TCGO Forums page. Slightly modified) Before reading this post, please review or learn from another site what permutations and combinations are, and you should know basic probability. We have seen in Worlds that Talonflame's use has been...
