									<p><em>Supervisor: Dmitri Vladimir Fedorov</em></p>
<p>Trading Card Games are a type of game centred around the concept of creating a deck from an open card pool. This leads to a so-called game with imperfect information.<br>The options a player has should be chosen to maximise their chance at winning a tournament for a given metagame. The main options players have are deck size, deck type and cards for countering other strategies.<br>This talk breaks down the relevant maths and attempts to quantify the key elements of each of these three central options in order to make optimal decisions for players entering a tournament.<br>For deck size the multivariate hypergeometric distribution is employed.<br>For deck type we look at win rates of different decks and representations, and explore the most efficient ways to obtain these quantities using Bayes’ theorem.<br>Finally we look at cards for countering other strategies and how to pick them in terms of how effective they are in general.</p>
