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:

quest13 | Open

Name=quest13
DisplayName=The Court Jester

Deck Type=constructed

3 Underground Sea
3 Badlands

1 Reliquary Tower
1 Island
1 Swamp
3 Bloodstained Mire
3 Scalding Tarn
3 Polluted Delta
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Jet
1 Obelisk of Grixis
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Timetwister
1 Wheel of Fortune
1 Burning Inquiry
1 Vision Skeins
1 Words of Wisdom
1 Howling Mine
1 Kami of the Crescent Moon
1 Jace Beleren
1 Mask of Riddles
2 Noggle Ransacker
1 Shadowmage Infiltrator
3 Terminate
1 Drastic Revelation
1 Cruel Ultimatum
2 Consecrated Sphinx
4 Jace's Erasure

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.

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:

It will be available after 35 wins. Maybe it's too easy, what do you think?

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?

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?
