Bug reports

[missalexis]

Melvin,

I'm posting here because I wasn't sure if we should use the issues page if we're not sure it's in fact a bug?

I was using 1.22 and the AI activated a Kabuto Moth's ability on the Kabuto Moth and then used it to block. Shouldn't it have become tapped and not eligible to block? If it is I can add to issues page.

[melvin]

If it activated the ability and then block, that would be wrong.

If it blocked and then activated the ability, that is legal.

Btw, do post on the issues page anyway, even if you are not sure if it is a bug.

Not sure what to call this bug but basically it would seem that the life gaining is not registering correctly as the AI "wins" when I still have loads of health. Using quite a bit of Lifelink abilities.

Seems to me that the AI killed you with Blighted Agent, you've got 13 poison counters.

*cue dying sounds*

[Sakkie]

Ouch! Didn't even notice the poison counters Was too busy watching my health going up. But still shouldn't the poison counters reduce my health at upkeep or something along those lines? Or does it just stack until the counters are more than the health?

[goonjamin]

Poison counters don't affect health at all. It is simply if you get 10 or more you lose.

Code: Select all

104.3d If a player has ten or more poison counters, he or she loses the game the next time a player would receive priority. (This is a state-based effect. See rule 704.)

Melvin, maybe priority of this issue up to high priority?

I thought I would point out a problem with "Ghost Council of Orzhova," although it's not really a bug. The setting was minimax 6 and I was using the ubeefx cube, with randomly chosen dual color decks.

The computer was on its way to a slow win because it had a number of creatures as well as one unblockable creature that was killing me. I was down to 4 or 5 life points. Then, strangely, it decided to sacrifice the unblockable creature, which would have probably beaten me. I'm guessing it did this because it thought it could slowly bring my life total to zero over 5 turns--but I had a green creature card that would give me life points for X which prevented that strategy. Then once my life total was back up to 10, the computer continued to sacrifice the rest of its creatures anyway. Even when I had 5 creatures out and the ghost council was the last creature on the CPU's field, it sacrificed the ghost itself (!), which led to a blowout win next turn.

Maybe this could be fixed?

I can not reproduce this. In my test game the Day of Judgment wiped out every creature on the board (including a few humans controlled by the AI) except for Angelic Overseer.

Too aggressive play by the AI seems to be from the tweaks that were done to speed up calculating blocking options. A known issue that I hope Melvin can have a look at soon.

I that agree Milod's last post belongs to that issue, see my comment above. I'll leave it to Melvin to decide on priority.

I thought I would point out a problem with "Ghost Council of Orzhova, ...."

A tough one this. I noticed in a few test games that the AI sometimes sacrifices creatures that I wouldn't had but I couldn't get the AI to sacrifice Ghost Council of Orzhova to itself. Looking at the debug output, it gives the option to sacrifice itself a massive negative score, so I'm surprised you saw that behavior. One thing I can think of is that the AI was low on life and basically sees no good options anymore. When that happens it will start making weird decisions. It sort of gives up, awww
I'll play some more test games now to see if I can spot a pattern here.

Ah, well that is actually correct behavior according to following rulings (found here):

-If you control a Human, and lethal damage is dealt to Angelic Overseer, that damage will remain marked on it that turn. If later in the turn you no longer control a Human, Angelic Overseer will be destroyed.

I tested this with your scenario and it works like it should.

So many times I thought I had found a bug, but it was just me misunderstanding the rules!
