There are no 'best cards'. Period. The most skilled player with what people consider the worst cards could do very well against people who don't know what they are doing, but have what are considered the 'best' cards.

@hazudo- the number of matches you play doesnt matter. it is the number of matches you win. each time you WIN you have a 3% chance of winning a card. you can play 1 million matches and lose them all but you will never earn a card.

@alzuna-when your opponent gets disconnected, wait it out. if they show show back up within a minute you can declare victory. it DOES count as a win, and you can still win cards that way.

Abdu-When you click save deck it often saves it really quickly so it can be hard to realize that it has actually just been saved. When this happens and you click save again it will tell you that you need a unique name because you already have a deck with that name. chances are, all those decks you made with or without gibberish titles now exist. you should try playing a round against the kong bot to see.

My phylactery stopped working, CC had about 20hp and someone took away the last of his health and he didnt come back with 1 hp :( still won the game though

I agree with soapy down there, I've had too many people quit on me (and I've been disconnected myself, which my opponent probably didn't like) it would be nice if that counted as a win for the person who didn't quit/get d/ced.

There was an official post in the forums about card chances. It was RAISED from the original chance (3%), so it can't be 2%. The post also stated that the chance to win a card is further increased if you have few cards.
Mistermonkey's right, squidly's wrong.

Some players are completly loosers.I fought someone called Pan something.
I had Cornelious Constantine in battle, he had Onimaru.
He tried to use Ancestral curse, but I reflected it whit Hypnotic Stare.His physhical defense was lowered to 0.I tried to hit whit Pilebunker but he swcith out Onimaru and put in battle Popo. I killed him.He put Onimaru in battle.After one turn,I reflected Double Slash,then he quit the game.
Whats happening!?

Spectralwolf - i've had more than enough classes in statistics and i was making the same point as you are - chances should be lower than they are now. Even if we assume that 300 games are not enough and i have to have a 1000 or more.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
they say I can win cards through playing.
I have more than 100 matches and still didnt won a single damn card.
How much games do I need? 1 million?

PennywiseBG: so the problem is this right?: the chances of proccing 4 in a row with a 25% chance of anything in 300 games. I didnt expect you to understand because i assumed you never had a class of statistics. and also theres some guy that said that the chances of proccing 4 times in a row with a probability of .25 is more than 1%. THIS IS ENTIRELY INCORRECT. Since the variables are independent to each other, the equation for this would be .25^4 which is LESS than 1%

I said 25% chance, i never said anything about yoshiro. Also i am talking about 4 IN A ROW.Not 4 in a game, that is completely different. Higashi ,Yoshiro,Vanessa all have a 25% proc skill.And those are the cards i use, i am guessing there are more. Also i never said that it was my opponent that got the 4 stuns/crits. I've been lucky more than once,but that doesnt make the game any more fair. I have never seen anyone get 10 open palms with yoshiro in 1 game.
To jmenz - the percentages you give are absurd - you figure out why.
And yes - it is clear that the game involves some skill. But when 2 equally skilled players play agains each other it is 9 out of 10 resolved by luck not by the better strategy. I am not talking about lvl1 stomping to get more cards, that is not even remotely interesting or fun.

i find the kongbot to be more difficult than most players. his convoluted ai makes him very hard if not impossible to predict.

Yah, i agree with mike. pokemon is definately not the first card game. i know that Magic the gathering came out before pokemon, but Magic isn't teh first card game either.

Wow, today after having 40 cards, I got all 5 cards in a single day. And if the card drop rate is 3%...then I'm amazed. Like winning the lottery.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
they say that this game is only about luck, but as far as i now, knowing when to use a 100% a 90% chance move, or when to best use chance reducing moves is all but skill, and thats what you do in this game, its a probability, its not the game that is ramdom, it is you who are playing it at ramdom
thigk of what to do better, and dont let the oponent atack just because you'll think it will miss

you have to play a ton of card grab games before you can even be serious about this game and I am just talking about kong bot

I really dont like this game, and I can see why people like it, but i hate it, and I dont see why kongregate put all this time into it>

Pokemon was not the first card game, nor is it the best. Also, Pokemon is for 12 year olds.
This game has some unbalanced cards, which are way overpowered, or useless, but if you play with a Random deck you can get a good game against anyone once you figure out a good strategy.
However, without having a hand of 'Effect' cards to play, there is not enough variance in this game to keep it interesting.

Wow, you really don't get it, Gavrikov.
There are problems with the game though, mainly that it is ridiculously slow.
But there is a lot of skill involved, if you're losing every game you don't understand it.

Borderline impossible to find any decent matches against people with tha same kind of crap cards i have. Seems everyone else keep getting cards and what not while im stuck with what i win in the challenges. Also way to slow, no skill involved, less fun than pokemon (lets face it, it is a crappy clone of pokemon dont deny it), to much luck involved for it to not get frustrating. Short version: One of the worst cardsgames around. Good job mates.

Why does everybody who sucks at this game complain about it? Sure, there is luck involved but you don't need any if you are any good.
PS: the game has nothing to do with pokemon. Seriously, nothing.
