{"ops":[{"insert":"As cool as this would be, there are a few reasons why this will never happen (and is arguably not possible)\n\n1) This would teeter on the edge of stepping on wotc's toes in regards to arena. We never intended the playtester to be anything more than a fishbowling tool. Building a client for users to play actual magic doesn't feel to me like something wotc would take too kindly to, and I wouldn't want to test the waters there to find out.\n\n2) This is arguably impossible. MTG is actually one of the hardest game states to write an AI for due to the potential of infinite board states, infinite combos, and more. To my knowledge it's never been fully realized, not even by wotc themselves. This may have changed since I last read about it, but not even arena has a proper AI. The tutorial AI that you play against only can work because the whole thing is scripted. The AI knows what you can draw, what it can draw, and is playing for a very short time so as to be sure, it never reaches a board state that the AI struggles to make decisions. \n\nIf you're interested in AI development at all, I suggest reading up on it in regards to MTG because it seriously is a fascinating subject. \n\nThat said, there are very few things that I say \"we will absolutely 100% never do on archidekt\", but this is as close as it gets. Don't get me wrong, I'd "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"love"},{"insert":" to write an AI for MTG, but we are neither qualified nor have the resources to throw at a project of that scale to even attempt it. \n\nStill a really freaking cool idea though!\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Could you make it so ONE key shortcut ends turn, which would combine:\n• Advancing turn count\n• Untap all cards\n• Draw step\nIt would be quite convenient because now we have to use 2 keys to untap and draw a card, plus manually ticking up the turn count.\nAlso shortcuts for counters are something I really look forward to :D\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Can you please make it so that when exiling cards from your library you do not have to move your mouse of and back to exile another card. This would make cascade much faster.\n"}]}
