- Added a new quest preference "Do Not Play AI Matches" which allows the player to decide the outcome of AI vs. AI matches randomly instead of playing them out and thus simulating them. This is disabled by default, set to "1" to enable.

- Currently determines the outcome of all AI vs. AI matches in a 50-50 fashion. Might be upgraded later to bias the outcome towards a stronger deck judging by the total card draft rating value.
