AI never equipped Training Drone, though it had several equipments and preferred to equip weaker creatures with everything

Both fixed! Thanks mark.

When I have Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite or Curse of Death's Hold in play, AI keep playing creatures with low toughness that will die instantly.

Is the AI for Snapcaster Mage not fully implemented yet? AI straight away played Snapcaster Mage with 2 mana whenever possible.

AI cast Moonmist during its main phase without a single human/werewolf.

AI plays Crop Rotation, sacrifices a Forest and then... puts a Forest into play

Perhaps this is because I haven't had my morning caffeine yet, but I'm not seeing a problem here. More explanation is needed.

Why would one remove his only land and then replace it with a land of the same type (and in this context there are several non basic lands in the deck, like Cloudpost, that have higher value). Well, the move is not illegal per se and could be done in a context like triggering a landfall ability, but in most cases the AI wastes one turn/spell (especially as opening move) just to replace a land with itself.
Hm, I guess the best way to fix this would be a game state evaluation like "what is the value of my game state... ah, one Forest and 7 handcards, what is the value after playing Crop Rotation and replacing the Forest with a Forest... one Forest and 6 handcards"

AI takes markers from Spike Weaver to put markers onto itself, which costs the AI 2 mana and gains nothing.

Maybe at some stage we'll add an optional param to scripts like AITgts that restricts the valid choices for the AI. Then when we come across cases like this we can use something like this:

Code: Select all

ValidTgts$ Creature | AITgts$ Creature.Other+YouCtrl

. I think there's a few cards that might be able to have the RemAIDeck flag removed if this were implemented. Not sure how much work something like this would take though.

I thought about it and came to the conclusion that this is a very good idea. It should be simple to add a filter to the relevant AF's.

Thanks Sloth. Now I just wish I'd written down other examples I've come across that could make use of preffered targets
