As laid out in the screenshot, the AI could have lived for another round had it not attacked with the two fairies earlier during its turn, and did more strategic blocking.

wouldn't he have died anyway? As far as I see, he should have sacced one of his fairies as not to let it utap itself, but otherwise it wouldn't have made any difference, since your creature has trample...

AI would have survived with 1 HP. Look at the full version: http://puu.sh/1k5wb

The AI only blocked with one fairy despite the Desecration Demon having trample, which was what I found odd.

AI always falls for Goblin Arsonist. I can always count on the AI to block and kill Arsonist with a creature that has 2 toughness; Arsonist will get his 1 hit in, then another hit when he dies. Easy exploit in the earlier turns.

AI didn't take into account exalted into lethal damage calculation. AI has a 6/5 Sublime Archangel and a 3/3 Human Token, and tapped Gavony Township. AI's turn to attack but it chose to end turn. I have many blockers in play, but none has flying. Since I'm at 8 life, AI should attack with Sublime Archangel alone and deal 8 damage for the win.

Similar to Goblin Arsonist, AI always falls for Necropede, favoring it over other 1/1 creatures with infect.

Same exploit is possible with Mishra's Factory (and in fact everything that can get pumped at instant speed like Knight of the Reliquary) the AI does not take the fact that you can pump these guys (or even animate them in the case of factories and manlands!)

Recently, for some reason i cannot block ANYTHING. I've played the last 20+ games and have not been able to block once. Im not sure whats going on...I would download a new Forge, but im not yet willing to lose my awesome streak in Quest mode.

Why don't you just copy over your quest?

I just now ran a test using yesterday's snapshot build and I was able to block the AI's attacking creature. :)

I control 6 creatures and have 33 life. AI is at 4 life and controls hundreds of Elf Warrior tokens created by Rhys the Redeemed. AI decides not to attack.

I had 2 life, 5/5 Jace's Phantasm, some non-flying creatures and no cards in my hand, AI had Air Elemental and 3/3 Krovikan Mist but did not attack to finish me off.

AI does not take into account the potential of my keyrunes when deciding to attack with low life.

EDIT: Also, if the AI has a Disenchant or something like that, it always casts the spell at the wrong time when dealing with Detention Sphere or Oblivion Ring, which ends up permanently exiling the target.

- AI is at 1 life and controls 2 creatures and a Batterskull germ. I control a 1/1 with shadow and 2 other nonevasive 2/2 creatures. AI should attack with the lifelinked germ token, but doesn't attack at all.
- When AI controls Goblin Chirurgeon, AI will attack with his Renegade Troops even if I control Ghost Tactician.
