Ruling double spin question.

[violent23]

Does double spin do any damage if you get 2 tails? On donphan his double spin does 50x so if I get 2 tails does it still do 50?

 

[Charizard]

If you get two tails, it does no damage. Any number times zero is always zero.

here's the calculation:
0 x 50 = 0
1 x 50 = 50
2 x 50 = 100

Basically, correct me if I'm wrong, you have a 25% of doing 0 damage, 50% of doing 50 damage, and 25% of doing 100 damage.

 

[Lieutenant Houndoom]

Correct. I calculate these odds every time I see them. Though calculating Cross Attacks are annoying...

 

[Psychic Pokemon Master]

i agree....

 

[violent23]

so are these not good cards to use then?

 

[ze_draeck]

f your Lucky, Very Yes. if your unluy, i dont suggest it

 

[Lieutenant Houndoom]

Look at your odds. Unless you have a very bad streak, you ain't going to do bad. 3 for 50 most of the time, 100 sometimes, is pretty good. Cautious people won't, though.

try not to use it as it needs to flip 2 coins & the chances are 50-50....

People tend to shy away from cards that depend on coin flips to deal damage... it ruins consistency.
