As a sidetrack to TESO , which is kinda dying... ( not a lot of good beta version feedback that I've seen on twitch/youtube/beta leak sites) so far, it's going to be another kingdoms of amalur.. (look it up)
Willing to give it 20 minutes of time, or an Angry Joe/destructoid review in the future at least.
N e way,
the idea that you can play a single deck is not going to work well in hearthstone. Sure, the logic is there to switch things up, or play against others in regular play, or use a weight system to choose cards or play options as pokehbuddy does...
ie current cards, available mana, boss HP, enemy HP, minions on table, taunt cards on table, collective HP of taunt minions, etc.
It's not too hard to create a logic to play badly, the challenge is teaching or writing logic for choosing what to do in the middle of the match. Or not.
The big reason it won't work, is players won't have the same deck. And, as Pokeh shows, few players really want to write 50 lines of code for each card in every deck, of a 30 card deck let alone 10 different decks. Hasn't happened yet, Hearth won't be the exception until, I don't know... Arena wins for Hearth gold converts to game time or cash on the account.
Hearth buddeh could just random / leeroy Jenkins the arena deck that the players put together, but the bot would lose. A lot. And/Or do the blondie24 thing and pretend to be a girl player instead of a bot.
(sadly true that people will readily forgive incompetence in female players)
The random sort shuffle of a prebuilt deck means each card type needs a strategy or group condition to use well. Eg. Murloc decks work. But how the logic would work, forget about it.
