Question about the trainer

[mtgarden]

I spent all weekend developing a deck that would win 80% of the time against level 5 in the trainer.  It worked.  I spent nearly 2K building my deck and it has lost ~ 98% of the time against level 5, 80% of the time against level 4, and 60% against level three.  Is the trainer AI so weak that one can't actually use it to test decks?

It very frustrating to get a deck together, have it win there, and then discover that at best, its a middling level 3. Especially as I spent nearly have of my cash reserves on it.

AI5? False Gods? 80% winrate?



The Trainer AI is the same as the in-game AI.

Remember that there are 29 false gods, and to have roughly decent winrate stats you should have about 200 matches against them.
So winning a few games against them in trainer doesn't mean your deck have 80% winrate.

Also, the Trainer's AI may be slightly different from the actual game's AI since there have been a few bug fixes and the trainer is some versions behind the actual game.

Trainer AI should play roughly the same way as the live game AI.

Also,

Trainer AI5 = Live game AI4 = Half-Bloods
Trainer AI6 = Live game AI5 = False Gods

Thanks that helps.  I was winning repeatedly, so to get completely slaughtered was frustrating.

Would anyone offer suggestions on these two variants?

They are aether/time decks and while it is loads of fun to have 23 scarabs on the board, I am having trouble getting it moving and defending. I'm either drowning in pillars or can't get a single pillar on the table.  The level 4 and up seem seem to have critters on the table very quickly even though they have huge decks.  The larger the deck, the less likely I am to get what I need on the table.

My apologies.  Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction (in a nice manner)....
