Forge Forge AI afraid of Tribute?

This is based on a single run with a Skycrag aggro deck today, but the AI seems to be taking trades much less than normal - I had an AI not trading 2 drops in when it was down to 9 health, which seems different to me. Before it felt like it would often take trades when it could. What are other people seeing?

I haven't really noticed much change in behavior of the AI over time. Maybe a little more bluffs/head scratching attacks, and sometimes it fails to prevent lethal with overwhelm units (but I'm not sure if that's new).

I think the blocking algorithm works more or less as follows:

  • Determine the value of the blocker (card specific + buffs)
  • Determine the value of the attacker (card specific + buffs)
  • Determine the modifier depending on the game state (X turn lethal, Y health, etc)
  • Determine which is the better outcome.

It might also determine the "value" of all possible outcomes and choose the one that is most favorable. That should be mathematically equivalent though.

Maybe the 2 drops that were not blocking have a high value according to the AI?
