And it became more so at Fal Dara. So at best the Ter'angreal could have enhanced it a bit, and I don't see why. Luck is a big part of Mat, so it being due to a once mentioned *angreal would be a letdown.
yeah, luck is integral to his character, not something tacked on later by a ter'angreal. the finns call him gambler and trickster, and i don't they'd do that if he just boosted his luck with some device. the real question is what supercharged his luck after tar valon? the healing process? i wish we had more details on that healing.
afaik, until nynaeve started kicking things up a notch, AS basically had the one healing weave. are we to understand they used that same weave to remove the SL taint? i suppose we are, but that leaves the question of why the standard battlefield healing weave, even in a circle as it was, would do that.
Key to the final battle is in Matt's first "Lucky" incident.

You think him taking the Dagger was lucky?

If you prefer, "The pattern working thru him" rather than "lucky"

That's the first time we see it overtly. But there is nothing to say it wasn't there before

The second seems much more likely, and in keeping with the series.
