Half Bloods / Re: Anyone else find level 5 AI to be way too easy?

I find HB easy with essence mono-aether just change my mark to earth and add 4 Enchant artifact, you're unstoppable mwuahahhahaha

How about Momentum? 

Yeah. How about Fire Shield, Spine Carapace, Gravity Shield, and even Dissipation Field? How about deckout because you have a bad draw and can't find a way past those shields? How about quanta denial? How about poison?

Okay, so maybe he exaggerated when he said "unstoppable", but mono-aether's doing me just fine at this point. Might throw in a lobo when I spin one, but I've got a decent win rate with no upgraded cards.

Maybe a few AI tweaks would be in order? The aether/light (Aethiel) I just played wasted phase shields repeatedly. Twice in three rounds, he played a phase shield and immediately played a hope (despite not having any light-producing creatures on either occasion). If he'd done it in the other order I might have ended up with a break in my own phase chain.

EDIT: A light/earth (Lumra) just healed me. Played a reflective shield a few rounds earlier, then, in one turn, healed itself (healing me due to reflection) and played a solar shield immediately afterwards.

From what I've done on the trainer (don't have the electrum to make it yet), this deck is pretty useful. One thing I should mention is that when I played Morte with the deck as is, replacing my permafrost shield with bone walls was the worst possible advice. Sure, it lasted for a few rounds after that (filled slots -> fire storm which killed them all, slots were almost instantly refilled by the graveyards so I did it again), but his bone wall was similarly inflated. I didn't end up doing any damage to him before my bone walls were totally exhausted. Every enemy I killed that wasn't a skeleton generated four more skeletons, and if I didn't kill retroviruses he would just sacrifice them. So despite having a quinted oty with 30 hp, I wasn't able to to anything.

On the other hand, once his hand is full of skeletons which do 2 damage, the permafrost shield fully absorbs everything and you can just mess around until he decks out.

EDIT: On the other other hand, if you manage to destroy his graveyards (or at least having only one or two out there instead of the four I was up against) with at least one fire storm and bone wall left, you could easily get up a huge bone wall against a reduced number of creatures, which would stand you in good stead. So basically it's a situational call; just don't swap out a permafrost if they have four graveyards.
