| ai_playValue: (state, my) -> 290 # same as Mountebank, seems reasonable? |

I try to make all the ai_playValues unique, so this should be either slightly more or less than Mountebank. If an AI has both Mountebank and Soothsayer in hand, and only one action, which should it play?
I'd guess it should choose Mountebank because it has a benefit this turn. Of course this really depends on whether it wants +2 coins this turn, but checking that is slow.

I had no idea, really. Mountebank is generally a better card than Soothsayer, but if you make the AI prefer Mountebank that exaggerates the difference. I actually added this so that I could compare Mountebank and Soothsayer, so I didn't want to introduce a false preference. So, maybe just use Qvist's rankings? It should be slightly more valuable than Haggler, but substantially less valuable than Margrave.
So, 200? But 200 is for playing a non-terminal Smithy, which should probably be preferred over a Soothsayer if you have actions to spare. So 199, I suppose. I'll make that change.

Changed Soothsayer's play value to be unique. |

Can you deploy this as well? Soothsayer doesn't seem to work yet at http://rspeer.github.io/dominiate/play.html |

Making a note to myself to check whether this got deployed. |
I'm not entirely sure whether you want a pull request for gh-pages as well, or if you just want to re-deploy that yourself, but it should be the same either way, right?
Anyway, I just wanted to test a strategy involving Soothsayer, and since it wasn't implemented I added it. Works fine at http://amalloy.github.io/dominiate/play, including the "don't draw if you didn't gain a curse". It should work with Trader also (ie, if you gain a Silver instead, you don't draw)..
