I know there has been much talk between some members of this wiki with regards to the calculation of deck power. However, I do not know if they have figured it out yet.

I know Godofcyanide has been working with others to find a formula for damage done during a boss battle. I believe they are in the process of testing and fine-tuning it.

@ Zacher2005

As stated by Godofcyanide and others on various occasions, high attack is not always best. For instance, card a can do 300,000 damage per attack but only lasts 2 rounds. On the other hand, card b can do 250,000 damage per attack and last for 3 rounds. The total damage done by card a is 600,000 while the total damage done by card b is 750,000. That is a typical example that people use.

@ PRAXIS

I only got the Red Alerts recently, so I haven't put much thought into it yet.

DP for a deck is relative information that cannot be absolutely relied upon due to Boss attack patterns. Thus DP will never be consistent in this game. There will always be a range of points of damage that one can distribute unless there is a design change. And I have come to the conclusion that this is an intentional game design.
