Shandalar - Program Bugs
AI activate in upkeep new features problems (awaiting information)
The problem is the feature of AI activating in upkeep anything that is set to do that.Either it needs tuning or it is bugged and AI is "forced" to activate everything that is set to be activated also in upkeep.
e.g Heliod, God of the Sun:
AI will play or activate anything else only if it doesn't have enough mana to activate Heliod, God of the Sun.So if AI has less than 4 mana or with the mana that is left over after AI activates Heliod, God of the Sun or if it has more than 4 but less than 8 or/and other multiplications of 4 mana.
Also I have more info here:

- See AI activate everything that can be activated the Mishra's Factory activation to make creature and then activate it to boost it is hilarious

I have seen some improvement with AI-upkeep behavior in dev version more testing is needed.
Still though with some cards AI seems to be overeager to activate them and lose playing better spells that turn.
The worse card behavior I have seen AI so far is with Treasure Trove.As long as AI can activate it will use up all it's mana in upkeep and miss playing all the fat cards AI has in hand.
e.g. AI activated it 2 turns in a raw 2 times and used up 8 mana to draw 2 cards while AI had in hand Sea Monster, Tidal kraken, Lorthos, the Tidemaker, and 2 Kraken of the Straits! And so I kept hitting AI with Old Man of the Sea and Hinterland Drake unblocked.Draw cards(especially when you pay mana for them) in upkeep generally is a bad idea if it doesn't involve interaction with other cards that trigger later on upkeep or draw phase.
Also I have seen AI always activate cards that fetch lands like some artifacts do like Traveler's Amulet and so miss mana to play more valuable cards that turn.
