Maybe if this happens to someone else, they can make a post about it somewhere for AI improvements.
So anyway, I just made a new deck in the arena, kept testing it out and tweaking it, finally got it to where I want it. The final test game I played, the deck trolled me. It had more than enough damage to kill me, but it played a sundial. It kept drawing sundials, and a couple hourglasses, and kept playing sundials, all the while I was building up my damage, which would never have gotten high enough anyway. Finally after it exhausted all 10 sundials, yes, 10 turns in a row it had more than enough damage to kill me, it had no choice but to attack finally.
Which leads me to a suggestion for the arena. AI messages, taunts. When making your deck, you get to type in maybe up to 5 different messages that the AI randomly says to you.
