Brainz!
They fixed it!!!
I implemented the Dominion : Seaside Duration card mechanic, and the four basic/simple Duration cards. THEY BEAT GoldDigger!!!
Test setup: 10,000 random 2 player games with random cards from the specified decks; MediumAI vs. pure GoldDiggerAI.
S = Seaside (5/26 implemented). I = Intrigue (17/25 implemented). B = Basic Dominion (fully implemented).
The following shows MediumAI's win ratio for the given configuration:
B: 16%
B + I: 14%
B + I + S: 18%
S + I: 19%
B + S: 23%
S: 64%
Even StupidAI goes from 1% in a base game to 7% in a Seaside game against GoldDiggerAI.
If their other new cards prove as useful, it might just be worth implementing them, not to mention getting a Seaside set.
