Psyyringe fe866ee175 AI Deck audit finished. I applied 31 changes, many to decks that weren't mine, so please review and correct/improve where appropriate, thanks.
Change list:

Taiga: Power Surge not available any more, replaced with a third Orcish Oriflamme
Taiga: removed a stray "a" in the deck description

Savannah: 2x Benalish Hero not available any more, removed (deck has still >60 cards)
Savannah: 2x Mesa Pegasus not available any more, removed (deck has still >60 cards)

Plateau: only 59 cards, added a third Bull Cerodon
Plateau: corrected an (arguable) spelling mistake (goblin -> goblins)

Badlands: only 59 cards, added another Swamp (still only 19 lands in this deck)

Yavimaya: Timber Wolves not available any more, replaced with Scryb Sprites

Shatter: corrected a spelling mistake (you -> your)

Howlins: (supposedly) corrected deckname spelling to "Howlings"
Howlings: only 56 cards, added 2 Mountains, 1 Black Vise, 1 Howling Mine (would've been better to add creatures, but all creatures in the deck were already at 4 pieces)

Alliance: Corrected a spelling mistake in the deck description (castel -> castle)

Djungle: Corrected deckname spelling to "Jungle"
Jungle: Only 56 cards, added 1x Tundra Wolves, 1x Scryb Sprites, 1x Forest, 1x Mountain

Deep Blue: Only 56 cards, added 3 Islands (the comment read "24 Islands" but only 21 were present) and 1 Merfolk

Soldiers (deck24): 4x Balefire Liege not available any more, replaced with 4x Thistledown Liege. This card was not originally present in the deck, but all present cards already had 4 pieces in the deck. The replacement is also pretty weak, please change it if you find a better one.

Kithkin: Added a missing "#" sign

Soldiers (deck29): Renamed deck to "Vigilant Watch" to prevent confusion with deck24.
Vigilant Watch: Corrected a spelling mistake in the deck description (held -> hold)

Depletion: 52 cards, added 2x Swamp, 2x Island, 1x Psychic Drain, 1x Forced Fruition, 1x Tome Scour, 1x Traumatize

Spectral Rack: Corrected "Volrath's Stronghold (TMP)" to "Volrath's Stronghold (STH)"

Kinsbaile Cavalier: Sortened name so that it fits into the menu

Bad Dreams: Corrected "Font of Mythos (ALA)" to "Font of Mythos (CFX)"

Viashino Warrior: Viashino Bladescout not available any more, replaced with Viashino Sandscout

Ashenmoor Cohort: Corrected "Smoldering Butcher (CFX)" to "Smoldering Butcher (EVE)"

Treefolk: Corrected "Mirri, Cat Warrior (M10)" to "Mirri, Cat Warrior (10E)"
Treefolk: Corrected a spelling mistake in the deck description (hidding -> hiding)

Dragon: Changed filename to lowercase
Dragon: 2x Ashenmoor Liege not available, removed (deck still at 61 cards)
Dragon: corrected some spelling mistakes in the deck description (Dragon -> Dragons, wil -> will). Changed deck name to "Dragons" since it's evident from the deck description that plural was intended.

several of my decks: Corrected comments that weren't recognized as such (the "#" sign has to be the in the first column)

Notes:
Three decks have more than 60 cards: Savannah 62, Giants 64, Dragons 61. It's unusual, but no illegal, so I didn't change it. But I didn't see any particular reason for having additional cards in these decks either, so I'm bringing the matter to your attention.

Also, "Howlings" uses 2x Wheel of Fortune (erroneausly listed as "Wheel of Fate", which is a different card that's not yet implemented). Wheel of Fortune is restricted in Vintage. AFAIK we there's no official standing on whether or not AI decks should be Vintage legal, so again I'm leaving this as it is, but bring it to your attention.

#DESC: Creature's Decks 10:
#DESC: "The deck that a Heartmender
#DESC: would (and could) assemble"
#DESC: (v1.01)
#DESC:
#DESC: No matter who
#DESC: No matter what
#DESC: We heal.
#DESC: The good and the bad
#DESC: The calm and the mad
#DESC: The live and the dead
#DESC: We heal.
Heartmender (SHM) *4 # continuously removes -1/-1 counters
# # from all others
Kitchen Finks (SHM) *4 # brings 2 life everytime it persists
Safehold Elite (SHM) *4 # cheap early defense
Lingering Tormentor (EVE) *4 # attacker with Fear
Rendclaw Trow (EVE) *4 # has Wither
Gravelgill Axeshark (SHM) *3 # 3/3 creature
Scuzzback Marauders (SHM) *3 # 5/2 attacker
Restless Apparition (EVE) *2 # can get +3/+3 bonus, but does the
# # AI use that ability?
Vine Trellis (MRQ) *4 # cheap defender and mana source
Animate Dead (RV) *4 # to bring back creatures that were
# # killed before the Heartmenders came
# # online
Forest (10E) *12
Swamp (10E) *12
# Cards considered, but not included:
# Kithkin Spellduster - has Persist, but is expensive & needs W
# River Kelpie - has Persist, but is expensive & needs blue mana
# Rattleblaze Scarecrow - too expensive for conditional persist
# Wingrattle Scarecrow - only conditional persist
# Gaea's Cradle - AI doesn't use the mana, bad thematic fit
# Cauldron Haze - effect only til end of turn, too short
# Trapjaw Kelpie - very expensive, AI doesn't use flash
# Sadistic Glee - Might help in a deck where so many creatures go
# to the Graveyard, then again it might not if it's the
# enchanted creature that dies. The point is currently moot
# though since the AI casts the spell on its opponents anyway
# Vulturous Zombie - no Persist, too expensive
# Infest - perhaps too dangerous as long as no Heartmender in play
# Harbinger of Night - definitely too dangerous
# Cards removed from the deck:
# none
# Notes:
# Doesn't perform as well as I'd like it to. The deck is very
# dependent on the Heartmenders, and sometimes they take a long
# time to come out. Suggestions?
#
# Animate Dead seems to choose targets randomly and sometimes
# picks bad ones. But it still works well in this deck if it
# targets creatures with Persist, because when these get killed
# while they are animated dead, they return from the graveyard
# without the animation enchantment. It would be nice if "Animate
# Dead" could prioritize the Kitchen Finks as targets.
