AI doesn't know how/when to discard when hand is full.

I have encountered a bug on rare occasions were the AI will have a full hand of charged cards and will just sit there for the rest of the game not casting anything. I believe this may be because there are no valid targets for the cards in it's hand and the AI doesn't know to discard a card to draw a new one in this instant.

This is not a game killer as it is very rare, but it is something the developer might want to look into.

    Hi Sottyp_123, yeah that certainly can't be normal. If you haven't already, I would recommend sending a ticket into Customer Support could help get that looked into sooner. Any information you can provide will help them a lot in getting to the bottom of this.

    I had this occur recently to me as well, facing a Koth deck that was filled mostly with spells targeting creatures. He cleared the board of all my creatures, drew some more cards and got a massive cascade that filled all of his cards with mana. And didn't cast anything. I had a Dust Stalker in hand and was able to slowly win by casting it but nothing else. The AI never cast any more cards, it just kept using its first loyalty ability to no effect.

    While I can't "know", I am almost positive that his hand was filled with spell cards, and since Dust Stalker returns to hand at the end of the turn there was never anything on the board for the AI to target on its turn.

    I've had the same thing when facing off against Ob Nixilis while I have Sphinx of the Final Word in play. He can't target my creatures and just builds up a hand full of kill spells that can't target anything.

    Honestly I wouldn't complain about it since it's a rarity to get it to happen and a win when it does.

    The problem is when there's an objective of Kill X creatures for the match.
