    Sparky Needs A Tune Up!

    Main Problem: While practicing against the Bot Sparky, it gets stuck in the HMMMM loop.

    1. To reproduce the bug, start a match against Sparky and play until you have a board state with 5 - 10 or more creatures on each side of the field. This seems to be the number one factor in triggering the HMMMMM loop. Mass tokens trigger this loop consistently.

    2. I'm using a PC running Windows 10.

    3. I start a match against Sparky, trying out a new deck with some new cards. Once the board state hits a certain amount of permanents, Sparky says HMMMM in an infinite loop. I can't practice my deck and have no choice but to surrender. It doesn't matter what color Sparky is using they all hit the infinite HMMMM loop once the magical, at random amount of permanents hits the board. If you keep the permanents numbers low, the infinite loop doesn't trigger as often.

    4. I expect to be able to practice a new deck with Sparky without getting into an infinite HMMMM loop. At this point, just get rid of Sparky's dialog, it adds nothing but frustration to my experience. Sparky is also a Bot, there is zero need for Sparky to ''Think''. Sparky's turn shouldn't take longer than a humans turn, and needs to be streamlined quite a bit.

    5. Screen shots don't matter, plenty of people have them for you and you haven't done anything to fix Sparky. If you want to know what the screen looks like, battle Sparky, let Sparky amass 5 plus creatures, then you amass as many creatures and tokens as you can and watch Sparky go HMMMMM over and over and over and over, then take a screen shot and there you go!

    6. There's no consistent workarounds, but these might help sometimes.
    - Limit number of permanents on both sides of the board, under 5 per side
    - When Sparky starts her HMMMM loop, interrupt with ''YOUR TURN'', she will reply with sorry my bad, then play will continue.
