Following your advice I now have another version of Green Lantern 3. The deck is heavy in two cc cards. There is two man lands and a level up creature and another with a first strike pump up.
The deck works fairly well for both the human and the AI, thank you for the AI code.

The deck looks good Chris, maybe the number of auras can be reduced a bit in favor of some utility spells (no creature destruction), but I leave it up to you.Chris H. wrote:Following your advice I now have another version of Green Lantern 3.

I think I'm finally finished with revamping all tier 3 decks and their medium and easy versions. If anyone stumbles upon some issues or has new ideas let me know.

Thank you Sloth. I just merged in the finished version of Green Lantern 3. I have been busy the last several days with a few real life type situations.

I am back.
I was looking at Jabba the Hut 3 today.
I think that this need some work.
There is a lot of junk here.
What is the theme? Exalted? Lifelink?

The card Identity Crisis needs to be removed from the Joe Kidd decks. The card is still broken and errors when the AI casts it. It is in all 3 versions of the deck.

I think that the Cap decks need some work.
Charms need to go.
Oblivion ring should be switched to other targeted removal. The Computer playing on turn 3 without a target is a bad thing.

Hmmm, I think that the Jabba the Hut deck's theme is Exalted. There are a few creats that are unblockable and the hope is that the combat code will cause the AI to attack with a single unblockable creat and it will become pumped up via the creats with Exalted.
This is a really old attempt at an AI theme deck that was created prior to the work over the last year. It may now be possible to update this deck and improve it in the process.
Thank you Corwin for noticing and bringing it up.
A few minor edits to the Captain America deck(s) and they could then replace the older and out of date Jabba the Hut deck(s).
BTW: Good to hear about your daughter and it is nice to have you back with us again.

Re: Magnum
There are several Hatchling + Mimic decks using different color combinations. They were created almost a year ago.
There may be some new and better two color cards that could be used to improve them.
Re: Your edit
The AI is really hampered when it comes to mana acceleration seeing that it does not have a mana pool and it is unlikely that the AI's mana code will change any time soon.
This is why we tend to add Mox to the hard num 3 decks. Just a thought.

Cap 3
I hate the mox policy. I get it. It just seems like if there is a tight enough deck then the AI should not need to "cheat" using the power 9 to beat me at the hard difficulty.

I like the new Capt 3 and it looks to be a better design than the Jabba the Hut 3 deck.
