If Mat is no longer Ta'varen, (sp?) does that mean his luck is now normal?
Mat's luck isn't always good, but rather, what is right for him at the time, whether he knows it at that time or not.
My theory is that Rand, Mat and Perrin are always reborn together for the last battle. You always need a Dragon to battle the DO, a wolfbrother to call the last hunt, and a general to lead the last battle (including the heroes of the horn). So it would make sense that Mat's ability to lead and luck is linked to his being ta'veren, but does not stop when the Dragon dies/ascends, just the link between the three ends.
