Card AI (Improvements) Requests

[Xyx]

AI casts Roots of Life. I have 5 Swamps, no Islands. AI chooses Islands.

[xbon]

AI continuously uses Grindclock's 2nd effect without placing any counters on grindclock.

AI correctly waits until I have a knight, then casts Knight of the Mists, correctly targets my knight, and then pays U.

i tried to fix that in trunk with r31841.

you might checkout if its better now.

Edit:

AI casts Roots of Life. I have 5 Swamps, no Islands. AI chooses Islands.

the logic was missing for Basic Lands ... and while i was doing it, i improved the other logics for ChooseType too.

now the check for Valid/InvalidTypes is better.

Opponent will attach Prison Term (multiple at the same time) to newest entered creature you play, even if it was attached to something more significant, and MULTIPLES of them, if more than one in play. it's not so bad to attach to newest played card so to speak, but attaching two to the same newest played card when they were both on better creatures is bad imo.

I cast Trostani's Summoner and get a load of creature tokens. AI casts Volcanic Hammer targeting... not my 3/3 centaur token, but my 1/1 Trostani's Summoner. I know it's technically a 7-drop while the centaur is a 0-drop, but still.

The AI doesn't seem to care much about commander damage at all sometimes. It often doesn't block a commander even if it would deal lethal commander damage just because the AI opponents life total would still be above 0.

[Xyx]

AI is holding 3 Thundering Wurm and already has 11 Forest on the battlefield. Still insists on playing every Forest it draws.

[Xyx]

AI will not cast Stone Rain except under very specific circumstances that I have yet to figure out. It'll sometimes kill my second land, but at other times it'll just not cast it, refusing even to destroy manlands.

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and Rattleclaw Mystic

The AI insists on unmorphing the Mystic and using the Devotion ability on Nykthos during its upkeep phase. Would it be possible to add code to the cards or AI that would only permit the AI to do the above only during a main phase so as not to waste as much mana? While obviously not perfect this might improve AI's playability.

AI will prioritize alternate casting costs if it's cheaper than the spells original mana cost. Although it will pay WUBRG for expensive spells if Fist of Suns is in play, it will still pay its more expensive mana cost if it has enough mana sources anyway.

By extension, the AI must not cast anything for full price (except for X-spells) when an Omniscience is in play.

[Shukal]

The AI sacrifices Harvester Troll to itself.

[tojammot]

AI casts X-based creatures to Aluren with X=0, causing an infinite loop somehow.

[tojammot]

AI shouldn't add any more charge counters to Aether Vial if it'll exceed the highest CMC of a creature spell in its deck. A second Aether Vial, if possible, will not exceed the second-highest CMC, and so on.

Alternatively, the AI will no longer add any more charge counters if it'll exceed the CMC of the most common creature cost in its deck. The next Aether Vial will not exceed the CMC of the second-most common creature cost and so on.

[tojammot]

AI should use Greater Good on creatures that are about to be sacrificed (i.e. Ball Lightning) if available.
