Update 42 ToT AI - No Longer Over-Utilizing Discard?

I decided to test out the ToT AI today in an attempt to force it to discard its entire deck, which has become a pet peeve of mine. I've played about 10 games while deliberately encouraging it to take cards with discard abilities, and while it does take them from time to time, it tends not to take them very often, or if Hlaalu is in play, it removes them quickly for the Prestige. In theory this is a good thing but the implementation seems flawed, because it could still be actively utilizing discard if it knew which cards were good to keep and which were good to discard. With the way things are now, it seems like it's just trying not to use the feature and that means it's just a less effective opponent.

I'm going to keep testing but if this is true, I hope it's a stopgap measure until better logic is devised.

    if they are not excessively using discards i could stop using the red eagle deck against npcs lol, i dont really enjoy that deck but it definitely made the NPC matches easier when they would indiscriminately discard cards

    before that i used to use hlaalu a lot so they would just sacrifice all their good cards which worked mostly effectively unless i couldnt get enough rahjin cards to counter prestige generation
