Top Ten Wishlist

[Bog Wraith]

Jatill,

Could you do the same for two other lands in particular that were not on your difficulty assessment chart:

Lake of the Dead

Thawing Glaciers

Both easy, I think. AI would never use Lake's second ability, though.

The AI doesn't play any of the new bounce back land abilities now at all! In fact, it's becoming a real problem in Sealed Deck Play! Many times, the AI will keep trying to play one like Azorius Chancery or Boros Garrison, etc... even before it has played a basic land so it keeps bouncing itself right back into it's hand. I've seen many times when the AI will keep doing this, stuck in a loop, while discarding down to 7 cards at the end of it's turn by discarding a basic land!?

I was going to post about this or even send a PM to bring this to your attention as this creates easy wins vs AI opponents, which is easy enough at times with some of the other head scratchers we've all come to know over the years due to the AI's ineptness, and it is ruining Sealed Deck games whenever this happens, which is becoming quite often!

IMHO, they need to be removed or disabled. We have a a lot of great lands in the game, and I'd like to see the other 2 I've mentioned added in, but if they would cause a similar problem, I'd ask to have them removed as well.

[jatill]

They should probably be remove from Sealed for now, as you mention. I'll brainstorm some ways to fix them, in the mean time.

[Bog Wraith]

Yes, this needs to be addressed and soon!
Besides Shandalar, Sealed has always been my favorite way to play this game.

Thanks for looking into this.

They won't even play lands with bouncelands in hand sometimes. The AI played Maze of Ith, had a bounce land and two forests in hand and waited 3 turns before playing any lands, discarding first, then eventually playing bounce lands bouncing themselves.

The AI usually sits on City of Brass, too, and will discard until it discards all its Cities, and then start playing land normally. Since I put 4 Cities in a lot of my duel decks, this is annoying, but it's also a microprose problem, and probably has the same root cause as the bouncelands being used stupidly. AI uses fetchlands just fine, though, but when using land destruction, will usually target a land it 'knows' from microprose, rather than a smarter choice like Crumbling Necropolis, and will hit an Underground Sea instead, for example. It also loves to spare my Library of Alexandria, for some reason, and will sit on land destruction even if it's your only land left in play.

Is there a way to mark cards as more 'threatening' than another card? I'm thinking more along the lines of chess where the AI there usually has pawn=1, knight=bishop=3, rook=5, queen=9, but you can customize it in some engines to help you if you're a noob. (like queen=1 so it gives away the queen for a pawn right away) Thus, in the chess example, the AI would trade a queen for two of your rooks, but not for two bishops, for instance. A Crumbling Necropolis would have a higher 'threat' than an Underground Sea, which would have a higher threat than an Island. The same could apply to creatures in play, although the AI usually (not always) hits the best one with removal. It has significant problems deciding if/when to hit artifacts and enchantments, though, and often makes a stupid choice.

There is a property for each card called 'AI Base Value', but I'm really not sure how the AI uses it. I know the values are not set very well, though.

[MalkolmX]

Some of the cards i would like to see added:

Goblin Welder
Tangle wire
Mystic Remora
Mana Drain
Chalice of the Void
Trinket Mage
Tombstalker
Figure of Destiny
Ad Nauseam
Metalworker

Ok, because of the 2000 card limit and the fact, Jatill that you have decided to take a pause shortly until this limit is broken. I add here a few suggestions not exactly my top ten, but still (you already know my top ten)
since you've done Exploration, have you thought about Horn of greed ? both are very complementary.

and as in the other thread
Mystic snake
Angel of desolation (if you can think of a way to implement Kicker)

that's all !

[Wally]

I didnt realise how close we were to the limit.

There are many, many cards I'd like to see but if I had to choose just 10 cards that would most add to the game it would be:

(not in order)
1. Rishadan port
2. Yawgmoth's Will
3. Oath of Druids
4. Trinisphere
5. Mana Drain
6. Stifle
7. Fireblast
8. Tendrils of Agony
9. Goblin Lackey
10. Orim's Chant

The cards I personally most want to see though are (yes I'm nostalgic )
1. Serrated Arrows
2. Gorilla Shaman
3. Thawing Glaciers
4. Aeolipile
5. Ivory Gargoyle
6. Jester's Cap
7. Mana Drain
8. Lodestone Bauble
9. Elvish Spirit Guide
10. Quicksand
and Thallids! Yes seriously!

[IfhBiff]

Greetings, I'm new here and have no right to request anything

But here's my 2 pennies:

Priest Of Titania
Oath of Druids
Eureka
Rishadan Port
Mana Drain
Wild Mongrel
Tangle Wire
Alluren (sp?)
Multani's Acolyte

I don't think I saw any of this in the cards db, but like i said i just dl'd this today, I could be wrong.

My wish list is only two cards. I don't know if that will be possible.

1) Living plane: I love this card. i would like my old deck which gave me the 6th position on a +600 players tournament. All cards are already on ML.
2) Goblin Welder. This goblin is so lovey

Thanks for all your efforts.

best wishes

This has been on my mind since I first started modding. Somehow I just never get to it. What's the deck list?
