Special quests

[Sloth]

Both the AI and the player should have a Darksteel Ingot.

The Gold Dungeon comes later (after 28 wins), it should be a little bit harder than a normal duel.

I found the starting cards of Quest 13 interesting: Sensei's Divining Top for the human and Teferi's Puzzle Box for the AI. I was dissapointed to see that the AI deck doesn't interact at all with Teferi's Puzzle Box, so I came up with a new list that may not be as powerful but more interesting to play against:

Sloth, once Innistrad is released I expect to see two Laboratory Maniac in this deck.

Can the AI handle Windfall or Memory Jar?

I've added Windfall and Memory Jar (replacing Timetwister and Cruel Ultimatum). I'm not sold on Laboratory Maniac, the human should be decked much faster than the AI with Jace's Erasure.

Just saw Psychosis Crawler. Might fit well in this deck too.

Normally I don't like the Maro cards in AI decks because the AI will do stupid things with them, but in this case it's worth it and I've added 2:

I had an idea about the 11th challenge (The King's Contest): The AI deck has the theme of legendary permanents, so why not make it mandatory by starting with Leyline of Singularity?

It's a little harsh if you don't know what's coming, but I made it repeatable so you can have another try .

Thank you for the icons Chris.

Here is a new challenge. While the AI deck is pretty weak, the starting permanents will give the human a hard time:

Here is a new challenge. While the AI deck is pretty weak, the starting permanents will give the human a hard time:

`
I searched google for an icon that could be used for this deck. I could only find two and they are not good candidates but they could be used. Which of these two do people like best?

The first one fits. I wonder if I can design a deck for the second icon (I kind of like it).

The Medium Blue Challenge deck w/ Forced Fruition:
It seems like there's a bunch of Blue Creatures in this deck that Bounce land. None of them seem to be bouncing my land, so the AI casts one, then targets his own land. Not sure if there should be an IsCurse$ True on these, or what. But I believe the idea is to bounce the Humans lands?
