-# Cards considered, but not included:
-# Sonic Burst - 4 damage is nice, discarding a card is not.
-# Shock - nice damage per cost ratio, but 2 damage is too little,
-#   especially since the AI likes to use it on creatures with
-#   toughness >2
-# Steam Blast - nice effect on all creatures and players, but
-#   damage amplitude of 2 is just a bit too little.
-#
-# Blaze - AI currently casts spells with "X" cost for too weak an
-#   effect
-# Char - damage per cost ratio too low, and damages caster as well
-# Earthquake - difficult to fine-tune for the AI: too little mana
-#   and the effect might be wasted, too much mana and the effect
-#   might be dangerous for the AI and its creatures as well.
-# Fault Line - more expensive than Earthquake for same effect
-# Fire Tempest - very expensive, and too dangerous for the AI
-# Fireball - AI doesn't choose targets well
-# Flamewave Invoker - ability too expensive compared to Beacon of
-#   Destruction
-# Lava Axe - Too expensive for one-time use, esp. since red mana
-#   acceleration is currently not possible
-# Lightning Blast - Too expensive
-# Puncture Blast - damage per cost ratio too low. Wither damage
-#   would help against big creatures, but so do the walls, and the
-#   opponent hopefully won't last long enough to bring many big
-#   creatures out anyway.
-# Puncture Bolt - effect too weak
-# Scorching Spear - effect too weak
-# Zap - too little damage, the AI often uses it on a creature
-#   that doesn't get killed by it, so the card is wasted.
-# Jayemdae Tome - casting cost and ability cost too expensive in
-#   that deck; Howling Mine serves the same purpose, and hopefully
-#   the opponent will be dead before he can make much use of the
-#   cards he draws.
-
-# Cards removed from the deck:
-# none
-
-# Notes:
-#
-# The AI doesn't target the damage spells well, often wasting them
-# on creatures that are tough enough to survive the damage, or
-# casting them on creatures when it could have won they game by
-# targeting the opponent.
-#
-# The AI sometimes casts Ball Lightning and then doesn't attack
-# with it, effectively wasting the card.
