What am I missing about The Sentry?

I just faced it for the first time and there was not a single card in my deck that could deal with it. There aren't any flyers big enough to block without chumping, and I can't think of any removal outside white and blue that can get it since it's indestructible. Maybe there's a black spell that can exile it?

It really seems like an "I win" card, yet it has a terrible win rate.

Will AI assistants trained on 17lands data eventually ruin Arena?

Just a scary thought I had. I used to play Words With Friends with a coworker who would destroy me every game. Then I found out he was using an app that told him the best possible play to make each turn.

Magic is far more complicated, but with enough data, could a bot be made that could perform at high mythic skill level?

There are already overlays that can tell you what’s left in your library and the known cards in your opponent’s library/hand. Could they also provide an AI recommendation of best line of play on each turn? Or is Magic too complicated for that?

I suppose if it came to it, they could remove Arena’s ability to log what you’re doing in real time (delay it five minutes so 17lands data could still be collected).

Unofficial achievements in Switch version?

I’m deciding which platform to get it on. I love achievements/trophies, so I’m wondering if the Switch version will still have them like many games do via their own built-in UI. If so I’ll get the Switch version for portability.

Anyone mind coming back here and answering after the game releases?

Or I don’t suppose any reviews have mentioned this?
