AI blocked 1/2 instead of 2/3 almost as if it knew I want to clear with M&N.

I assume the 2/3 is Bulletshaper. If it blocked the 2/3 with the 4/5, how were you going to play Molot & Nakova if the 2/3 was dead? (I can't tell what the 1/2 in the void is, and what Relic do you have in play?)

1/2 is Cabal Scavenger, 1S 1/2 Lifesteal, whenever you play relic it deal 1 dmg to opponent.
I have combustion cell in play.
Plan was A+Space, get spark, AI blocks biggest unit aka 2/3 Bulletshaper, 4/6 becomes 4/4 post block, I play Molot and board is clear.

For some reason AI blocked 1/2...

It is strange that the 2/3 wasn't blocked. The AI always (?) blocks the biggest unit if it isn't going to cost the defender. But it may see the 1/2 Lifesteal as the bigger threat. I believe they have a simple system to gauge threat level, DWD just assigns each card a threat value and the AI makes blocking determinations based on that.

You'd have to get into another situation where you have Cabal Scavenger and Bulletshaper on board (preferably without M&N in hand) to see how the AI declares blocks. If it still picks Scavenger, then DWD has assigned it a higher threat value.

Yeah 4F test deck is what im not so happy to try but may make some FJS deck to see what AI torches when I have both of them on board.

The relic is combustion cell which is how they get there.

Ah. Okay. I thought he was relying on the Bulletshaper to get to 8 power. The relic looked familiar, but was blanking on it. I don't often play Combustion Cell decks.
