There was nothing in play that would encourage the AI to deplete its hand.  I could imagine a very sneaky play where you could prevent another player from boosting their own creature with the \"cannot be a target of spells or abilities\" clause, but more often than not the AI actually boosts Vines, giving my creature a power bonus. This does not seem to have any purpose which furthers the AI's interests."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/magarena/magarena/issues/comments/93623396","html_url":"https://github.com/magarena/magarena/issues/178#issuecomment-93623396","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/magarena/magarena/issues/178","id":93623396,"user":{"login":"ShawnieBoy","id":2363180,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2363180?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShawnieBoy","html_url":"https://github.com/ShawnieBoy","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShawnieBoy/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShawnieBoy/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShawnieBoy/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShawnieBoy/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShawnieBoy/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShawnieBoy/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShawnieBoy/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShawnieBoy/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShawnieBoy/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-16T02:50:58Z","updated_at":"2015-04-16T02:50:58Z","body":">On the issue of pump spells, I have also seen several times the AI attack with a creature, then play a land in M2 and use it to apply Rancor or something similar; while this is not AS pointless, it seems like a missed opportunity...\r\n\r\nIn the above example, I was suggesting that if the land played gave it the mana to play the rancor (which it appears as if it did), then the evaluation on when to play the land was off, not just a poor timing of a potential combat damage increase.\r\n\r\nalso, doesn't seem quite right to blame a deck for the AI playing strange, hehe"}}
