Decks for the AI

[Chris H.]

I did a google search on Treebeard and clicked on the picture link. The web page displayed so many nice images, it was hard to pick one.

I did a search on google for the new deck "Totoro 2" and discovered this pic> I hope that everyone will like it.

The Galahad deck was great fun. Now all we need is a Lancelot deck, a Laugh-A-Lot deck and a Dance-A-Lot deck (Sorry, compulsive muppet in-joke )

That was quick, Chris. And a nice picture this is.

I tried really hard not to make just a Black Vise deck, but to heavily rely on Underworld Dreams. I still want to squeeze in Teferi's Puzzle Box.

4 Underground Sea
4 Frost Marsh
4 Salt Marsh
4 Jwar Isle Refuge
2 Reliquary Tower
4 Swamp
4 Black Vise
1 Timetwister
1 Kami of the Crescent Moon
4 Underworld Dreams
1 Temple Bell
1 Jace Beleren
1 Forced Fruition
2 Vision Skeins
4 Wheel and Deal
1 Mind's Eye
2 Howling Mine
1 Font of Mythos
1 Seizan, Perverter of Truth
1 Time Reversal
4 Propaganda
1 Frozen AEther
1 Ivory Tower
2 Deny Reality
2 Boomerang
1 Sinkhole
1 Windfall
1 Teferi's Puzzle Box

Any other suggestions for this deck?

Mikokoro, Center of the Sea?

Fits the strategy, doesn't need room: perfect! Will be added.

I'm itching to add some new cards to old existing decks, but i'm reluctant to meddle with other peoples creations.

Some cards will never find a place, if not in exactly that kind of deck. For example I really want to add Invincible Hymn to the Darth Vador 3 (Battle of Wits) deck.

And making two decks with the same theme is lame.

Maybe some opinions can be gathered as to whether it's ok to overhaul the old decks.

Yes, I agree. Most of these old decks were created when our card pool was much smaller. I think that we had no more than 1500 cards to pick from at that time.

As new cards are added, it is nice to feature some of them in the AI decks. At one point Dennis added the protection from {color} keyword and I could not resist the temptation to add some of these cards to the AI decks. Granted, the AI may not take this keyword into consideration, but oh well. We try.

Some of those old decks (mine ) did not turn out to well. Rares needed help and I was the only person to step forward … my several land walker decks left me feeling unsure of what I should do … we needed easy and medium decks to play against and beat and at that time there was very little threat removal. These decks and many others could use an update.

I do not think that anyone, myself included, would be upset if you and/or others stepped in and adjusted some of the older AI decks. This is a good area for people to get involved in the project, especially those who do not and can not write code. (I have kept myself busy recently with trying to learn more about java and coding by fixing some bugs. It is a lot of fun but it is time consuming.)

Two decks with the same theme, I guess that this will happen at times. I think that it is OK to have several white weenie decks, as long as the support cards that are included provide a different experience. One deck can have a lot of removal, another can concentrate on equips and a third can … use something different.

The pirates decks are a good example. There are only a few pirate type cards available and I had to make the pirate decks different from one another by using different support cards. One uses counter spells and another uses creature controlling auras.

I think that it is also OK at this point to include a few theme decks that just aren't very fun for people to play against. There are enough opponent decks that we will not have to face these types of decks very often. I hate being wrathed or vised or spell countered. Ugh. But I do not mind too much anymore as I only face these types of decks on rare occasion.

So ,,, I do not mind if you or anyone else makes some adjustments.

I see that we have a new quest deck, Radiant 3. I typed in "Radiant" into google search box and got a lot of non-pic hits. Any ideas on whose pic we should use for this deck?

That is a good pic, thank you. I will scale it to size and upload the pic.
