In this thread from earlier this year, Volrak made the following conjecture about how Greg used his abilities.
Greg does use his abilities on occasion; but there are also turns when he declines to use one altogether.
@Volrak is this new information to you? Is this a change in Greg's behaviour? Is that behaviour Greg exhibits only in this event? Or is there something I'm not taking into account which is prevent Greg from using some or all of his abilities?
However, I've just witnessed Greg, in Planechasing Fblthp, refusing to use his abilities turn after turn, despite the fact that both players had creatures in play, and that he had enough loyalty to use all three of his abilities.Volrak said:AI loyalty ability usage appears consistent with the following. Immediately prior to each of the AI's gem matches:
- Choose one of the 3 PW abilities, with equal chance for each.
- Try to use that ability. It of course does nothing in case of no valid targets, insufficient loyalty, or an ability already used this turn.

Edit: I tried an additional game with plenty of discard to see what happened when Greg's hand wasn't full. He used his 2nd and 3rd abilities about 1/3 of the time each when able, as expected. However, though he had plenty of opportunities, he never used his 1st ability under any circumstances. Bug, or deliberate feature? You can judge for yourself - but it's worth noting that restricting a removal effect to only be able to target opponent creatures is in line with most targeted removal in the game; if Fblthp's 1st abillity was given the same constraint at some point then he might not ever use it prior to level 50.0 -
