Card AI (Improvements) Requests

[cc-drake]

Ai doesn't activate Tamiyo, the Moon Sage, when I control no creatures.

[Spatzi]

AI plays Zombie Mob without any summon cards in graveyard.

[cc-drake]

- I control no untapped creatures. Even though, AI buffs Aven Flock up to 2/8 before attacking.

Does the fix apply also for similar cards?

Yes. We had a big conversion to seperate all effects from AI code of abilities. One function of Pump spell AI accidently switched power and toughness bonus. Easy fix.

How about Water Servant? Up to now, AI pumps it to 0/7 before combat and doesn't attack...

AI casts Fireball for X=0.

AI cast Karn Liberated and targeted itself with his first ability, exiling a Deathmark. I had both cards in hand and creatures in play.

Jinxed idol allows you to sacrifice a creature and pick an opponent, but it doesn't actually exchange control. You continue to take 2 damage every upkeep.

AI removes counters from Umezawa's Jitte for nothing.

Computer casts Aegis Angel and targets my Axebane Guardian. Not only very stupid to make my creature indestructible, but also impossible since it was equipped with Swiftfoot Boots.

Fixed! Thanks Bundy.

Fixed! Thanks Spatzi.

AI is at 1 life and casts Caress of Phyrexia

AI shouldn't cast Sunken City on its second turn. Not only does it do next to nothing in the next 3 turns, it doesn't benefit anything on the BF since it rarely casts a 1 drop Blue creature.

[Agetian]

The AI overvalues using Walking Wall's ability and uses it even when it doesn't need to (like when it's tapped on my turn)

- AI doesn't activate Lu Su, Wu Advisor.

Both fixed! Thanks cc-drake.

Fixed! Thanks sol. [it will only cast it if it controls a blue creature already]

Fixed! Thanks Agetian.

[Agetian]

Thanks for the fixes, Sloth!

Here's another AI bug: the AI doesn't really understand Jade Statue, and attacked me with a 2/3 creature despite me having the statue and the mana to use it.

And one more thing: the "zero Fireball" AI bug is still in - the AI will always just tap one red mana to cast Fireball and cast it with X=0, choosing no targets, I assume.

A little question/improvement proposal about snow-covered AI: it looks like the current AI isn't super great at Coldsnap (and the concept of 'snow' in general); it doesn't really take advantage of the "snow permanent" concept, and I've never seen it play a Snow Covered basic land, at least in Limited - perhaps it can be tweaked to use those more? In a 10-booster Sealed Coldsnap pool, there is usually 1-4 of each snow covered basic land, and a few nonbasic snow lands. I think the AI could have benefitted even simply from adding those to the deck, and the next step after that could have been making it aware of how they may be useful.

AI's Titan Forge is at 3 counters, but AI still continues to put additional charge counters on it.
