Collectible Card Game Headquarters

that's because Season of the Witch is not yet coded in Forge

Here you have the list of cards not yet coded

However, I think that elcnesh's combat refactoring could be used to create and store lists of creatures that could or could not attack during a given turn, which would allow Season of the Witch to work.

It would be much appreciated if someone more competent would take a look at what exactly is wrong with Orcish Captain when the AI attempts to play it.

It always spends all it's available mana on activations for his ability, but the ability always "fizzles" (and the log doesn't indicate what it's targeting). There are no valid targets for it but itself in the current game.

The card could work fine for the AI if there was a way to restrict it's AI activation to only happen when an opponent has an orc, and only target opposing orcs (other potential uses for it within it's block are truly marginal and probably a bad move, while being able to machine gun down all opposing orcs is pretty big).

It might be a simple fix which would make the card pretty much AI playable for all practical purposes (currently it's making even other cards difficult to test). And there's huge potential for a cool constructed Quest deck with this guy and anything that changes opposing creature's types into orcs in the future.

The AI can't seem to handle Painful Quandary or Phyrexian Obliterator.
He will block the Obli or attack with creatures while I can block it with my obli. Especially when he possess a creature with more attack then the obli's health, often suiciding all of its permanents.

Regarding Painful Quandary, the AI always seems to take the 5 damage. He completely ignores it and plays spells while having less then 6 life, killing himself in the process. Especially noteworthy in a draft, where the decks are pretty weak, allowing for stalling a bit.

Another one is Royal Assassin. AI will attack without taking its ability into account.

All in all Black seems to have some cards which are nearly cheating when playing against AI

AI cast (and then sacrificed without positive effect) a Hellspark Elemental while under effect of a Blinding Angel.

I'd like to see the AI use extra mana added to its mana pool (for example with Heartbeat of Spring and the like) when it is logical to do so. (I just finished a Momir game in which the AI brought out a Zhur-Taa Ancient, and while I was using my 6 lands to make 12 mana and popping out Blightsteel Colossi like candy, the AI never used that extra mana and instead continued to make 6-drops.)

I noticed during my Zendikar quest that the AI, when it deploy Tuktuk the Explorer very early in the game, does not try to block with it, i think it really should always try to block as an early 5/5 creature have a big impact on a game.

Devs, would adding the SacMe svar help the AI here?

Done! Thanks ZzzzSleep and Fizanko.

AI activates Gutless Ghoul, sacrificing potential blockers before he declares blockers. He had both a Regenerater he's been successfully chump blocking for a while with and Glacial Crevasses to absorb lots of damage.

The AI seems to know all the timing to Mishra's Factory, but it's confused about the abilities. It activates, blocks, and then taps them to float a colorless mana when it's clearly trying to give itself +1/+1.

Edit to add another:

The AI doesn't seem to always understand that Fireball does less damage to additional targets. It will routinely try to hit too many things, like x = 5 targeting both my 5/5 creature and my face.

The AI can't handle Galpowder Mage at ALL.
He would exile his own attacking creatures, or enemy creatures with ETB effects. He does not remove harmfull enchantments or prevent blockers or similar at all

AI would often activate the abilities of his creatures, which requires being tapped, in his turn. Especially when tapping the creatures of his opponent it is very ineffective, for example...

When the AI attacks with Immolating Souleater it loses the game instantly because it pumps its whole live into the activated ability.

AI doesn't use any extra mana when casting Wolfbriar Elemental.
