I am suprised the AI actually had the intelligence to use it that way....from what i have seen from the AI in matches i wouldn't think they would use it so skillfully.
It isn't that surprising, really. If the deck consisted virtually solely of photons, fractals, lobos, shards, and hopes, it would have no other way to play. Photon is the only thing it can fractal, and hope is the only shield it can play; thus...
In any case, congrats on the win, Neofur! That is some epic poison damage, there...
