Re: Card AI (Improvements) Requests

Observations from building quest worlds:

In general
Anything with banding: Pretends it doesn't have banding.

First up...
Limited Edition Beta

Forge reports problem but actually fine:
Black Lotus (even before the update)
Clockwork Beast (even before the update, though Clockwork Avian had issues)
Jade Statue
Righteousness
Phantasmal Terrain
Spell Blast
Demonic Tutor
Howl from Beyond
Mind Twist
Gauntlet of Might
Orcish Artillery
Red Elemental Blast
Stone Giant: Could be much worse.
Hurricane

Issues as advertised (or just plain terrible):
Ankh of Mishra
Stasis
Kormus Bell
Lord of the Pit
Lich

Works but with issues:
Copper Tablet: Always cast it, even when it's at 1 life.
Library of Leng: Always discards to library, even bad cards.
Mana Vault: Trigger happy.
Circle of Protection: Prefers chump blocking. Only uses circle if it can't block at all.
Conversion: Runs it out even if opponent has no mountains, pointlessly constricting itself on the upkeep.
Guardian Angel: Overpays.
Icy Manipulator: Not the smartest. I think it uses it right away/on upkeep instead of Beginning of Combat/EOT.
Personal Incarnation: Does not prevent damage to the incarnation.
Veteran Bodyguard: Clueless.
Jump: Trigger happy.
Mana Short: Trigger happy. Should wait until opponent's upkeep.
Timetwister: Trigger happy.
Twiddle: Trigger happy.
Vesuvan Doppelganger: Casts it on an empty board (so it dies.)
Frozen Shade: Very conservative with the pump.
Wheel of Fortune: Trigger happy.
Fungusaur: Clueless. Still funny.
Ley Druid: Clueless. Doesn't use it to float mana.

Huge problems:
Cyclopean Tomb: Uses it on own lands.
Glasses of Urza: Clueless (though I'm not sure what it should do with the information anyway.)
Helm of Chatzuk: Banding.
Jade Monolith: Keeps using it.
Nevinyrral's Disk: Not used (though I hear that's fixed now.)
Time Vault: Not used. Would be cool with Twiddle.
Celestial Prism: Not used.
Blaze of Glory: Not used.
Island Sanctuary: Never draws cards again. Should only not draw cards if it has Howling Mine or somesuch or otherwise is dead on board.
Purelace/Thoughtlace/Deathlace/Chaoslace/Lifelace: Not used (but also not very useful except perhaps with Circles of Protection or Elemental Blasts.)
Magical Hack: Not used. Could be fun with Conversion, Tsunami, Flashfires, Volcanic Eruption.
Volcanic Eruption: Casts it for X=0.
Drain Life: Not used.
Nettling Imp: Not used.
Sacrifice: Not used (though perhaps for the best.)
Simulacrum: Not used.
Sinkhole: Not used, though I hear that's fixed.
Fork: Not used.
Mana Flare: Clueless. Doesn't realize it gets double mana. Will spend excess mana if it has more to cast but won't cast, say, Shivan Dragon with just three mountains.
Stone Rain: Not used, though I hear that's fixed.
Berserk: Not used.
Channel: Not used.
Gaea's Liege: Not used. Just sits there.
Ice Storm: Not used, though I hear that's fixed. (Yay, Magic as Garfield intended.)
Natural Selection: Not used.
Wild Growth: Clueless. (Also, Forge is clueless about this in general since tapping the land to pay a mana cost will not automatically spend the Wild Growth mana. Instead the mana goes into the mana pool from where it needs to be spent manually.)

In general
Pingers. Prodigal Sorcerer and ilk. The AI does not understand that it can combine pings to take down creatures larger than 1 toughness. If it has two Prodigal Sorcerers and I have a Grizzly Bears, it won't kill the bears.

Arabian Nights

Forge reports problem but it seems fine:
Sandals of Abdallah
Eye for an Eye
Piety
Cuombajj Witches
Hasran Ogress
Hurr Jackal
Sandstorm

As advertised:
Serendib Djinn
Drop of Honey

Huge problems:
Bazaar of Baghdad: Throws away whole hand. Will activate it with one card in hand. This is only correct when playing Manaless Dredge.
Diamond Valley: Not used. Would be funny with Rukh Egg and Old Man of the Sea.
Ebony Horse: Trigger happy. Untaps attackers that "get through." It should only untap those in End of Combat, after damage.
Island of Wak-Wak: Not used.
Ring of Ma'ruf: Not used, though I'm not sure what it could grab.
Oubliette: Not used.
Sorceress Queen: Not used.
Cyclone: Suicides.
Ghazban Ogre: Clueless. Will cast it even if it just has to give it away immediately.
Metamorphosis: Not used (though perhaps for the best.)
Singing Tree: Not used.

Antiquities

Forge reports problem but it's fine:
Rakalite
Drafna's Restoration
Phyrexian Gremlins

As advertised:
Jalum Tome
Mishra's War Machine
Energy Flux
Transmute Artifact
Yawgmoth Demon

Minor issues:
Clockwork Avian: Sometimes winds up for no reason, but I hear that's fixed now.
Dragon Engine: Rarely pumps it (even with the Urzatron out.)
Mishra's Workshop: Not entirely understood (but I don't remember exactly what the problem was.)
Obelisk of Undoing: Trigger happy. Uses it for blocking. Could be funny with Triskelion and Tetravus.
Tetravus: Doesn't mess with the tetravites but that's usually not a good idea anyway (because of Powerleech and Haunting Wind and stuff.) Would be funny with Orcish Mechanics or Argivian Archaeologist, though.
Triskelion: Trigger happy. Prefers to kill creatures but will use up the counters right away. Should only do that for lethal damage or if Triskelion would leave the battlefield anyway.
Urza's Avenger: Doesn't activate any of the abilities (though that's better than killing it.)
Priest of Yawgmoth: Not used (but Squire isn't the absolute worst in this set.)
Atog: Not used (but Squire isn't the absolute worst in this set.)

Huge problems:
Armageddon Clock: Removes counters from its own clock.
Ashnod's Altar: Not used.
Ashnod's Battle Gear: Kills its own creatures. (It's cool that the AI tries to get into the role of psycho bitch Ashnod but let's keep it practical.)
Ashnod's Transmogrant: Not used.
Candelabra of Tawnos: Not used. Urzatron!
Coral Helm: Not used.
Feldon's Cane: Cracks it on turn 1.
Primal Clay: Not even cast.
Rocket Launcher: Not used. Would be good with the Urzatron.
Shapeshifter: Always 0/7.
Tawnos's Wand: Not used.
Tawnos's Weaponry: Not used.
Xenic Poltergeist: Not used.
Dwarven Weaponsmith: Not used.

Legends

Actually fine:
Greed: Decent enough.

As advertised:
Forethought Amulet
Anti-Magic Aura
Elder Spawn
Gaseous Form
Juxtapose
Land Equilibrium
Mold Demon
Takklemaggot
Primordial Ooze
Winds of Change
Arboria
Cocoon
Wood Elemental
Field of Dreams: Pointless.
Revelation: Pointless.

Minor issues:
Life Matrix: Trigger happy. Constrains itself on mana.
D'Avenant Archer: Does not see them on the other side of the table. Also, does not understand the power of multiple pingers.
Elder Land Wurm: Does not always block when it has the chance.
Greater Realm of Preservation: Not always used.
Spirit Link: Doesn't understand when the player puts Spirit Link on AI's creatures (just like Shandalar :D) and doesn't put it on player's creatures either.
White Mana Battery (and Blue/Black/Red/Green Mana Battery): Does not charge up. Just uses it as a mana rock.
Brine Hag: Kind of clueless.
In the Eye of Chaos: Walks right into it.
Psionic Entity: Only activates it if it's buffed. Sometimes just needs to use it as disposable removal (perhaps in combination with a block. Also, pinger problem.)

Tolaria: Banding, so this is just a pretty Island.
Wall of Vapor: Only "chump" blocks.
All Hallow's Eve: Casts it on an empty graveyard.

Fallen Angel: Doesn't sac any creatures, but a 3/3 flyer is still good in this set.
Horror of Horrors: Conservative.
Lesser Werewolf: Does not activate it.
Vampire Bats: Very conservative.
Active Volcano: Really likes to bounce lands. Destroying stuff is better. If someone has an Island, they will probably soon have a blue permanent.
Radjan Spirit: Does not see them on the other side of the table. Also, pinger.

Telim'Tor's Edict: Actually seems fine. Responds to removal and stuff.
Foratog: Could be a lot worse.

Phyrexian Purge: Good enough.
Cadaverous Bloom: Could be a lot worse.
Viashivan Dragon: Pumps both ends.

The AI plays Looming Spires when it has no creatures on the battlefield and buffs one of my creatures, then doesn't tap it for mana on its next turn. Kinda dumb to waste the buff when it doesn't need the mana.

AI seems trigger-happy with Silent Departure. It just played it when it had no creatures on the battlefield and I had 3, all power 1. It targeted the only creature who will cause it to lose a life when I summon it again (Kalastria Healer). I think it chose it because my other creatures were only 1 toughness, but it would have been smarter to wait until it had a power 3 creature out that I then wouldn't be able to block without Kalastria Healer on the field.

AI played Rolling Temblor during M1 when it had Scourge of Geier Reach on the field, thereby reducing its own attack value. And the creatures destroyed by Rolling Temblor didn't have enough power to block Scourge of Geier Reach.

The AI likes to target an X/2 artifact creature twice with the same Kolaghan's Command. A bit overkill.

When using Pristine Skywise's triggered ability, AI keeps choosing protection from its own deck colors instead of mine.

Hi all,

I saw that lightning runner second ability is not working.
After getting the (E)(E), it should ask ( if possible) if we want to pay (E)(E)(E)(E)(E)(E)(E)(E). If you pay, untap all creatures you control, and after this phase, there is an additional combat phase.
^
Is it possible to fix it? :)

Thank you.
BR,
Pedro S.
