Arena AI using Black Nymph wrongly [Not a bug] https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=34443.msg434685#msg434685

Hi all, well I've been playing for a little while but I'm not much of a poster myself, this is like my 2nd post I think.
Well I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but I was testing my arena deck today (which had a black nymph) with an Entropy deck based on antimatter. So as I was playing I antimattered two of the black dragons the arena deck had played and after that, to my surprise, the AI used the black nymph to vampired on both antimattered dragons (one each turn), succesfully killing itself in 2 turns.  Sorry I didn't get screenshot I was kinda surprised by that move as I watched the AI doing that. So I wanted to ask if anyone else had seen something like this, or if it's even a bug or something to do with the Arena AI or maybe only something the Tester for the Arena deck did.

Thanks in avance.

PD: I did checked for this problem in the forum and didn't find something similar, sorry if something related had alerady been posted.

The AI is just not very smart. It's very difficult to program decent AI, and any AI will inevitably have certain flaws.
Years ago we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, Bob Hope, and Steve Jobs. Now we have Obama, no hope, no cash, and no jobs.

20.  Stupid AI
Symptoms:  Your opponent plays flying weapon with a full field, killing it.  Your opponent starts antimattering malignant cells, healing you. 
Causes:  AI is really hard to program.  Zanz is constantly working on fixing this.
