It seems to me that atm AI is programmed to get down lords before other creatures, could this be removed / loosened up somwhat?
Sometimes this makes AI hold on to creatures it could play because its waiting to get the lord down - even if it has mana for the creature but not the lord!
this is especially an issue with might slivers but ive noticed the same with soldiers et al as well
lords
Re: lords
im not sure this is very true, the ai plays cards in order starting with creature...if by chance it played a creature i might not play another, that could be true...but ai will not simply hold a creature just becuase it has a lord in hand....
Re: lords
yeah it might be, the ai does have a splash of randomness, it might have decided not to play the big creature, or the creature had an effect which was not appealing to the ai so it reduced the chance to play that card, then it decided to cast the smaller ones instead...that is possible, however it wont hold on to cards just to play a lord...no matter how good the lord is...
Re: lords
is it a custom sliver deck you built for ai?
if so does it include multi-mana lands?
if thats the case ai can only see the very first mana abilities on a manaproducing card...so it wont be able to cast a frenzy sliver with a lotus petal for exsample...as it sees lotus petal as a pure green source...and nothing else.

Re: lords
well the problem is also there w monogreen. Its not QUITE as big an issue as i first thought, but if it has a might or muscle sliver in starting hand sometimes it gets all screwy with holding back on the nonbonus creatures. Sometimes it will even hold back the lord until it can cast both a lord and a creature to benefit from it in the same round. But sometimes it plays normally...dunno what to ake of it..
Doesnt seems to affect casting of enchantments however.
