Subject: Heart of The Cards Testing 2 --Sgrab45



READ HEART OF THE CARDS TESTING -- SGRAB45 FIRST.

(yes, all of these say things like that.)



Hey evreyone. This is the second of soon to be many article on the "heart of the cards" and drawing probability. Last time I used my e-heroes in a made up simulation. At the moment, my brother and I are working on another part of testing with 4 different decks. they are:



My E-Heroes.

His Vehicroids.

My Experimental Deck. (I just dont have a name for them.)

An Exodd Structure Deck.

DONT FREAK OUT. The Structure deck belongs to my brother's friend. The point was too try it with 2 decks with a theme, a radom deck, and a structure deck.



That will be in the next article. In this one I'm gonna list another simulation, and talk about different points of these articles. NOW!!! "Before you throw full wine bottles at your computer" (Strongbad) Let me explain. The heart of the cards, believe it or not, is one topic that discussed by duelists all over. This is the first of two reasons why I'm doing these articles. The other is that I'm bored and I'm not finished writing my article on net decking yet.



Anywho, this is the simulation. It will be the same as before, but in this one, we wont know what card we are looking for untill we get to the part were "the heart of the cards" would help us out, like in a real duel. Similar to the other simulation, this one will have extremely good odds. Just as before, the fractions are:

# of favorible cards/total #of cards



TURN 1

Start: ?/40

Draw: ?/34

E-Emergency Call: ?/33

End: ?/33

TURN 2

Draw: ?/32

DD Capsule: ?/31

End: ?/31

TURN 3

Draw: ?/30

Pot of Greed: This is it.

At this point you need either a bladedge or a way to fuse. In this deck that leaves polymerization, polymerization, fusion sage, king of the swamp, and bladedge.



This would leave the odds at 5/30 or 1/7. (Yes I am using easy simple fractions all the time. I dont enjoy "work") Also, because it is pot of greed it would cut the possibility in half. so the chances of drawing one of those cards is 1/3.5. I have a good feeling that this pot of greed is going to win the duel. Oh well.



I'm goind to use the same test as with the hero kids. I'll shuffle 30 cards 16 times and draw 2 cards each time.

Here are the results.

X=non nessisary card O=nessisary card



XXOOXOOXOXOXOOXX

This is a dead even tie at 8 each.

So far these articles are really leaning against the heart of the cards, but these are just simulations. I made up all the turns. The only thing that happened on its own was drawing the tie of cards. No one can know for sure about the heart of the cards untill more REAL tests have been done.



If you want to help, either send me a comment, or SEND ME A STORY OF WHEN SOMETHING THE HEART OF THE CARDS WORKED FOR YOU.

Also, if you want your deck too be pust through one of these simulations, send me a list of it. I DO NOT NET DECK. I DESPISE ANYONE WHO NET DECKS. YOU CAN BORROW SOME IDEAS BUT DONT TAKE THE WHOLE DECK!!!!!!! So, send me some e-mails. I could use the help.
