Does Anybody Really Know How Additional AI Decks Are Unlocked?
For a variety of reasons I prefer to play against the AI. I believe there are quite a few others like me since anytime the issue of AI play comes up it gets a lot of similar responses. I've been playing for months and have a sizable collection but I'm locked into playing the same 6 AI decks endlessly. But other people have reported that they have a multitude of AI decks available, as many as 18 or more.
I want to know what I have to do to unlock the additional AI decks. I've seen speculation, mostly along the lines of PvP rank being used as a determining factor in unlocking AI decks. This makes no sense since the players who are most interested in AI play are probably the least interested in PvP and vice versa.
But I've yet to encounter anybody who seems to actually know for sure. As a side question; what is the best way to query the developers? I couldn't find official forums.

Hiihi! So the AI decks are actually currently matched based on MMR (Matches your versus AI MMR to the closest 7 decks). We realized recently that super fair matchmaking is actually preventing AI players from accessing new decks. Currently, we are looking into a better system that hopefully will expose more variety in AI Opponent (also adding more personality to them) without compromising fairness (don't want to beat down a newer player before they get a chance to learn).
As for some of the other questions:
- We do add new decks every expansion
- PVP and AI queues have nothing to do with each other
- Many of us are pretty active here and twitter etc. Though, officially the way to get bug reports to us is through the support button under the Options (Gear on the top right)
