AI casts Grim Flowering without creatures in his graveyard.
AI should target only attacking or blocking creatures with his Safeguard.

AI just enchanted a creature with Call to the Kindred. I attacked with 3 creatures, Watchwolf, Mirri, Cat Warrior and Charging Troll.
he has a 1/1 changeling and a 2/1 creature with Call of the Kindred in play - and decides to block my Charging Troll with both creatures.
(he had 11 life and would have lost 8 life if he wouldn't have blocked anything)
The choice was quite 'dumb' in two ways: 1. it will loose the creature (CMC 2) with Call of the Kindred (CMC 4) to destroy a creature with CMC of 4.
Secondly, I could have regenerated my Charging Troll, since I had untapped forests.

When it was the AI's turn to attack it attacked with a 2/2 creature. I had an untapped Gideon's Avenger (which was still 2/2 at that point). So I could block the attacker and kill it without losing my creature. I guess the AI can't "foresee" that it will run in a stronger defender after declaring it's attackers.

AI is on 2 life and controls Drudge Skeletons, Zombie Goliath and several 1/1 creatures. I attack with a 3/3 Stormblood Berserker, AI doesn't block and dies.

AI attacked when I had Perimeter Captain and other Walls on the battlefield (Wall of Essence among them). The AI does this even when it only has one attacker (or in general not enough attackers to even do combat damage to me), so it just gave me life for free.

AI had Gideon's Lawkeeper (Ability: "{W},
: Tap target creature."), I had a creature big enough to finish the AI in my next move. The AI could have prevented my attack but chose to tap my creature in it's own turn.
I toyed around for several turns, the AI had unused 20 mana every turn and several usable equipments but never attached them to one of the Lawkeepers (or made use of the Kor Outfitter ability).
With all those equipments the Lawkeeper could have blocked my creature.

AI activated its Rimescale Dragon to put ice counters on itself. It did that twice while all my creatures remained ice free.

Yea, it looks like it's scripted wrong. It should use the tapping logic as a primary, not the put counter logic.Jaedayr wrote:AI activated its Rimescale Dragon to put ice counters on itself. It did that twice while all my creatures remained ice free.

It was missing the IsCurse parameter which should make it target your creatures. So fixed that and it seems to work fine now (although the AI might still target your strongest creature consistently instead of spreading the love).friarsol wrote:Yea, it looks like it's scripted wrong.

Which deck did you come across this guy in? He shouldn't have shown up in AI decks because he had the RemAIDecks flag (removed it for now because it still seems useful as a 5/5 flier that taps your strongest creature at the very least).
