Card AI (Improvements) Requests

[tavsyo]

Not sure if mentioned before, but I feel it would be wise to make AI always pay the 2 life when playing shock lands, except perhaps below ~5 life.

As far as I am aware, the majority of the time shock lands are played untapped, especially in the starting 1-4 turns of a game, and I have never personally seen the AI play them untapped, effectively turning these fast lands in guildgates in AI decklists

The AI will activate Watchful Automaton's ability in MoJhoSto, wasting mana for no benefit.

[MrMystery314]

The AI will not pair Nightshade Peddler with creatures it controls with first strike/double strike, instead choosing suboptimal targets.

Any chance to make Thespian's Stage work better?

I know the game says the AI can't play the card well but the AI doesn't seem to use it in decks I've seen - either to clone dual mana producing lands or something like dark depths or lands that can generate creature tokens like Dwarven Mine.

[MrMystery314]

The AI will not remove a Worship I control, even if it has the means and it is the only thing preventing it from winning.

[MrMystery314]

The AI will still pay for The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale for its indestructible creatures.
The AI will attack creatures into Stuffy Doll without trample or any way to actually benefit from the attack.

[MrMystery314]

The AI will indiscriminately sacrifice its creatures to Undercity Informer, opening itself up to lethal attacks which it otherwise would not be vulnerable to.
The AI will pay the buyback cost on Elvish Fury when it has stronger cards to play and re-casting the card would not be advantageous.

Can something be done with Battletide Alchemist? Sometimes, the AI won't block because it thinks I'm going to prevent the damage.

[MrMystery314]

The AI forgets about Notion Thief when I control it.

[AStrangerIsHere]

The AI should use cards with scry or dig at the end of the opponent's turn. I guess it could use AILogic$ BestOpportunity with cards with scry/dig, because I tried to put it in, for example, Thassa's Intervention, but the AI will always use the first ability during its turn. Even if it has only three lands.

And it's also the same with Omen of the Sea.

[MrMystery314]

In multiplayer games, the AI will activate Spellskite even when other players are targeting other players' permanents, helping other players with no benefit to itself.

[MrMystery314]

The AI will not utilize the ability of Matsu-Tribe Sniper.
The AI will enchant my own creatures with Sigil of Sleep.
The AI will play Command Tower, Opal Palace, and Path of Ancestry in Limited.
The AI will waste its turns activating Myr Quadropod's ability

[MrMystery314]

The AI chooses to bounce my creatures with beneficial ETB abilities like Bloodhunter Bat over other options
The AI activates Coastal Hornclaw's ability multiple times in a turn for no benefit
The AI will sacrifice an Evolving Wilds when it has The Gitrog Monster out and 1 card in its library, which doesn't particularly help it
The AI will choose to dredge cards useless in the current situation, for instance a Nightmare Void when I have 0 cards in hand, accidentally milling itself to death

Hi,
in my current session (v1.6.32), the AI repeatedly attached multiple instances of Indestructibility to the same card, like in the screenshot. It even did so with a land as target!
Regards, P.M.

Hello,

I want to add that AI doesn't pay for Taj-Nar Swordsmith's enters the batlefield trigger.
