Shandalar - Program Bugs

The AI doesn't recognize "protection from creatures" (new)

 

The AI behaves strangely when faced with Commander Eesha (and possibly other cards which have/grant the ability "Protection from Creatures" such as Beloved Chaplain and that 2W Aura from Judgement). It will attack into it as if it was faced with a regular creature and often lose it's creatures.

EDIT: I played around with it, and what I think happens is that the AI is holding a pump spell like Giant Growth, attacks (or blocks) into a protection:creatures creature and then realizes it won't work.

It also seems to have the same issue with indestructible and even +1/+1 counters, they seem to screw up it's predictions/math. It's also compounded if there banding on the player side.

EDIT: Deffinitely the same case for "Indistructible", it seems. The AI makes blocks which would otherwise be trades but ends up just losing the creature because mine had Shield of the Oversoul on it. (Timber Wolves with Shield of the Oversoul attacked alone and were blocked by the 3/3 trample vanilla elephant, had it happen with other stuff too).

I can confirm this. I have often been able to block a single attacking creature with Beloved Chaplain. Nothing happens (if opponent's creature's toughness > 1) except that the creature gets tapped and the AI is open to attack when it really shouldn't be.
