Yet another wall deck, this time with a couple of new nasty surprises.

4x Angelic Wall
1x Doran, the Siege Tower
2x Magus of the Moat
4x Shield Sphere

4x Moat ?! Yikes. Maybe add a Demonic Tutor in there too? Not sure how the AI utilizes it.

By the way, Shield Sphere (or in this case, Angelic Wall) not attacking with Doran, the Siege Tower and Rolling Stones in play, I fixed this for the next version. No need for Glorious Anthem / Gaea's Anthem.

Tutor type cards appears to cause the computer to shuffle it's deck which then moves the extra lands that were originally on the bottom to become now randomly placed within the top portion of the library. The computer doesn't get out it's 7 lands and then continue to draw just spells.

I originally had 4 Enlightened Tutor plus a Demonic Tutor and a Vampiric Tutor in this deck. I think the Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor is being used to fetch the biggest creature - Sunweb or Wall of Swords.

The Enlightened Tutor was getting the biggest enchantment/artifact - the Moat so I at first had lees of them. But the Library shuffling was slowing the deck down.

I am coming to the conclusion that a strong AI / Quest deck will look very different from a strong Human deck.

The ground walls were to stop an agent from getting through and once the moat is in place it's a lot of trouble for the human.
