Why did Banker Bot buy a Curse on turn 15?

It was purchased, not gained via Embargo.  Horn of Plenty cares about variety, but not Curse since you can't play it.  There was no Fairgrounds, Gardens, Ambassador, Masquerade, Harvest, Goons, or any other reason that I can imagine buying a Curse.

My hunch is that the bots are coded to buy Curse while Hoard is in play, but maybe I'm just being cynical.

I think the bots have always bought curses, rarely. The serf bot does/did it more than the others. Perhaps all the bots have a small chance of a random buy and the serf bot has a moderate chance of a random buy.

I think it's more likely that it bought the Curse because Horn of Plenty was available. It probably does that for any card that's tagged as needing variety, and doesn't realize that Horn of Plenty only cares about Actions and Treasures.

Did you post that as a bug on their feedback forums?
