Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Zirbert wrote:When I Recoil the AI's Dodecapod, it discards another card (if it has one). It should discard the Dodecapod itself, to put it into play with +1/+1 counters. Maybe we could use some kind of "DiscardMe" flag, similar to the way the AI knows to sacrifice (literally or by chump-blocking) creatures with good death abilities.

Zirbert wrote:I just saw a pretty bad play by the AI. It had enchanted one of my creatures with Prison Term. Then I played a Stromgald Crusader - I'm guessing any pro-white creature would have had the same effect. The AI used the Prison Term's "move to new incoming creature" ability to move it onto the Stromgald Crusader. That looks allowable under the rules, since the move ability doesn't target. However, the Prison Term then went straight to the graveyard as a state-based effect because it was a white enchantment on a pro-white creature.

jsv wrote:AI activates Chimeric Egg as soon as it can, which is typically during opponent's M2 phase. And even when AI gets timing right it doesn't check if the resulting creature can do any good. I think about removing the card from random decks. On the other hand, it's 6/6 with trample when AI does get it right... it can be devastating occasionally. Any opinions?

Haytrid wrote:AI doesn't handle Immobilizing Ink so well. You can drop it on a vanilla 1/1 creature at the beginning of the game (or any creature really) and he will aggressively discard his entire hand quickly just to untap the creature and attack with it each round. Often times discarding two cards per round to untap it again after combat.

Bundy wrote:When computer casts Master Thief it does not trigger it's ability. I have artifacts in play, but computer takes no control of one of them.

Computer has 7 untapped lands, but still chooses to play Wispmare for it's evoke cost to destroy one of my enchantments. Rest of the mana is not used in any way.
