Remigiusz Suwalski 5810a36610 Upgrade AI decks 3, 30-36, 38 to modern frames
Initially committed in 89dae6523 (Nov 3, 2008) and 202d46176 (Sep 22, 2009).

Major changes done only in deck3:
- Castle -> Builder's Blessing (functional reprint)
- Ironroot Treefolk (vanilla 3/5) -> Spitting Spider (reach, 3/5)
- Thicket Basilisk (deathtouch 2/4) -> Kessig Recluse (reach, deathtouch 2/3)
- Pearled Unicorn (cmc 3, 2/2) -> Ronom Unicorn (cmc 2, 2/2)
- Scryb Sprites (flying 1/1) -> Scute Mob (1/1, +4/+4 with 5 lands)
- Shanodin Dryads -> Jukai Messenger (functional reprint)
- War Mammoth (trample 3/3) -> Rhox Charger (trample, exalted 3/3)

Also deck34 (Kobolds) was kept with original frames because Kobolds were never reprinted.

#DESC:Beware! Beware!

# Land(s)
Forest (8ED) * 12
Island (8ED) * 3
Mountain (8ED) * 6
Plains (8ED) * 3
# Creature(s)
Bonesplitter Sliver (TSP) * 4 # nice cumulative +2/+0 bonus
Crystalline Sliver (H09) * 1 # Shroud is nice, especially in a deck with no non-creature spells
Fury Sliver (TSP) * 2 # gives double strike, only 2 because it's a 6-drop creature
Gemhide Sliver (TSP) * 4 # Additional mana source to get Might Slivers out faster
Heart Sliver (H09) * 2 # gives Haste
Horned Sliver (TPR) * 3 # gives Trample, also 2/2 isn't bad for a 3-drop creature that others will pump
Might Sliver (TSP) * 4 # nice cumulative +2/+2 bonus
Muscle Sliver (H09) * 4 # cheap and the +1/+1 bonus is cumulative and can't be misused by the AI
Shadow Sliver (TSP) * 1 # might be great or bad - thrown in as an element of surprise
Spined Sliver (H09) * 2 # gives Rampage
Spinneret Sliver (TSP) * 3 # 2/2 Sliver for only 2 mana, also gives Reach to all slivers, which is good because we only have
# # two Winged Slivers in the deck, and those might not even be played because we have few Islands.
Talon Sliver (*) * 3 # gives First Strike
Watcher Sliver (TSP) * 1 # nice cumulative +0/+2 bonus, but too expensive to have more of them, and we have 3 plains in the deck
Winged Sliver (H09) * 2 # gives Flying
# Cards considered, but not included:
# Basal Sliver - AI too eager to sacrifice
# Clot Sliver - would be the only black sliver left after Basal
# Sliver was taken out; also: AI not too smart with regeneration
# Sedge Sliver - no swamps in deck (since all black slivers were
# taken out)
# Firewake Sliver - AI too eager to sacrifice
# Mnemonic Sliver - AI too eager to sacrifice
# Telekinetic Sliver - AI doesn't make smart tapping definitions
# Quilled Sliver - AI can't target ability in a smart way
# Armored Sliver - AI can't decide well when to use ability
# Barbed Sliver - AI can't decide well when to use ability
# Venser's Sliver - doesn't strengthen other slivers
# Sliversmith - doesn't profit from other slivers. Its tokens
# do, but the AI isn't smart in deciding which cards to discard
# Metallic Sliver - is cheap, but doesn't strengthen other slivers
# Victual Sliver - AI too eager to sacrifice
# Battering Sliver - effect already provided by cheaper Horned Sl.
# Sliver Queen - AI can't handle 5-color deck
# Reflex Sliver - Heart Sliver has same effect for lower cost
# Sinew Sliver - good +1/+1 bonus, but only few plains in this
# deck, and red/green slivers provide same or similar effects
# Synchronous Sliver - Vigilance is nice, but sliver is blue and
# pretty expensive
#
# Cards removed from the deck:
# 20 dual lands - AI only uses the first "auto" rule for each
# dual land. Therefore none of the chosen lands produced green
# mana, the AI treated most dual lands as islands, and the deck
# never got sliver production started.
