Manalink's AI can be surprisingly clever at times; it's caught me off-guard once or twice with stuff I didn't see coming (admittedly, partially because I was underestimating it and wasn't paying as much attention as I would have against a human player, but still.)RanDomino wrote:I mean, how is it actually stupider than the one in Manalink?

Aside from failing to understand a few abilities (like Flanking), it usually does a good job blocking optimally, for instance. And it clearly does have some degree of lookahead -- I've seen it pull tricks like deliberately raise the power of enemy creatures or lower the power of its own in order to manipulate the effect of a Meekstone. I've also seen it sacrifice creatures to sacrifice outlets solely because that creature was causing a problem for it in one way or another.
