Shandalar - Program Bugs
AI occaisonally doesn't play cards (Blightsteel Colossus?) (duplicate)
This is a weird bug I just ran into. I don't know how to reproduce this error but I wanted to mention it anyway. I got into a battle with a Goblin Lord, and he didn't play a single card the whole game. At first I thought it was because he drew no lands, but then I noticed he started discarding Mountains from his hand rather than playing them. I've battled a few Goblin Lords already in AS2 with no issue. The only thing different about this game was he started with a Mons's Goblin Raiders.
As you can see from the attached screenshot, the only card he has in play is a Mons's Goblin Raiders that he started with. In his graveyard is cards he was all forced to discard via the hand limit, including two mountains. If it helps, I'm playing on Wizard difficulty.
I'll add more to this bug report if I encounter it again. I know this is probably not enough to go on atm and could be just a one time thing, Idk.
EDIT: Okay, it happened again, this time against a Quitosh (or whatever those red genies are called). This time, he played one land (a Tundra), a Brass Man, and then proceeded not to cast or play anything else. In the second screenshot, you can see his graveyard. He discarded lands & cards he could play with his one Tundra (such as Tithe). I don't know if this is being caused by a general AS2 bug, a card in my deck, or maybe because I am using a save I started in AS1?
Very puzzling... I'm going to try to restart the game.
EDIT2: Okay, I tried restoring AS1 and I'm still getting this error. I played through the game a few times on AS1 so I'm starting to think it has something to do with this save, perhaps a card in my deck. I'm uploading the save that this is occurring as well as the Decks I'm using. It seems that when I'm playing with this save, this will happen intermittently, and not always at the start (now I'm seeing the duel AI "crash" several turns in, in which the AI does nothing further).
EDIT3: I don't know why, but I think Blightsteel Colossus is involved. I started getting the problem when I put this card in my deck, and I tried taking it out and haven't seen this problem since. I've never even cast the card but it just existing in my deck/hand seems to cause this, maybe?

dev 778ccb5:
AI indeed doesn't play anything (not even lands) if Blightsteel Colossus is in your hand. Probably the same happens with other creatures that have over 10 power or maybe over 10 cmc, too. I see that it is labelled as duplicate but I couldn't find in my searches the original/main report nor it is mentioned here.

Yeah I'm not entirely sure why Korath marked it as a duplicate, I thought he was simply aware of the issue.
