Thx Furball. :]
Is this a viable strat to hunt them down?

Not really. Your chances of getting a deck that's in the top 10 is 2%. About one game every 50 games. But if you're already farming the arena and you happen on a high rank deck that's weakened by age, lucky you!

I guess he was not that random finally. Got a good hand. :p

What is reputation power and how does it work?

What is reputation power and how does it work?

Facebook uses the Like button.  We use Reputation (formerly known as karma).

When you join the forums you are automatically given 100 reputation points which is equal to 1 reputation power.  For every 5 reputation power your description (that you can see when hovering your mouse over the green bars below your avatar) changes to a new text.  When giving reputation to other members (using the button beneath their avatar), they gain points equal to your current reputation power.  For every post that you make, you gain 1 reputation point.  Starting threads gives you 3 reputation points.  Your reputation power increases by 1 for every 100 reputation points that you gather.  Your total reputation points can be shown on your profile, and there is also a page on your profile to see if you have received reputation from another person (this page also shows the reputation that you give to other people).  There is also a setting on your profile which allows you to hide your reputation power from other users, making it seem as if your reputation power is 0.

It's mainly used to display appreciation for other forum members, whether it be for something they did which required a lot of work, or a comment which you thought was very thought-provoking, helpful, etc.

Thanks! I was wondering what that electrum button was for- it never occurred to me to click it. I see people with less rep than their post count would suggest- I assume filling the disagree bubble takes away rep?

I don't believe it does since the old system got rid of negative karma, but then again I've never really tried it.

Why can't we multi quote on this forum? Or have I not found anything?

It's possible, but trios can be fairly unstable.

There used to be a multi-quote function but it disappeared it seems after the forums software was upgraded.  When multi-quoting someone I typically just scroll down while posting and then Insert whichever quote I need.  Otherwise you'll have to copy and paste the quote into a text document or something and then put it all into the post later.

Question(s):

If I play a deck with an 80% win-rate over 40 games,

How many streaks of at least 4 wins can I expect?

How many would it be, if my win-rate is only 60%?

I try a fast calculation, it should be 0.8^4 = 0.4096, that means 40.96%
The other case should be 0.6^4 = 0.1296, that means 12.96%

If i made errors, someone point out please!

That's the odds of winning 4 in a row with the given win percentages, and is correct.  It's not actually the answer to his question, though

I'll have to try and remember how to answer his exact question with statistics; I can't recall off the top of my head just now.  Failing that, a simple RNG computer program could be written to figure it out, which would be about the size of this post.
