Arena Deck Option Idea https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=46192.msg1034514#msg1034514

It'd be cool if you could change the Arena AIs behavior.

I was testing a deck that used lots of Blessings and Iridium Wardens and was annoyed to see it keep dumping all the blessing in one creature. I get that this particular AI tends to invest it's power in one place, but the stall I was trying to create would have worked better if it spread the buffs out.

If there were different AIs that played the cards with different strategies it might add variety to the kinds of decks that can be made in the Arena, or even AI3 and up if Zanz decides so.

What I'm picturing is another box when your creating the deck that doesn't cost skill points. Instead it lets you choose an AI type (Offensive, Defensive, etc...). Really, there can only be a few AI aspects, so I'm guessing there would only be a handful of options.

Yes. This has been suggested many times before, and I still agree.

My 3 game-modification principles:
1. If it ain't broke, don't wreck it.
2. Simple fixes for simple problems.
3. Remember to fill in the holes.

Great minds think alike.
This idea might be tricky to implement, but it holds a area of great improvement for the game. Not that I don't like them, but new cards are only a small part of the expansion of the game. The AI, game menu, chat options, and duel options could all use upgrades or some kind of improvement.
