Why is Zephrys too stupid to offer hex with 4 mana remaining when my opponent (resurrect priest) has Vargoth on the board? Asinine.

because zephrys cant read card text and only sees a 2/6 minion, hardly an important target for hex

It’s worth noting that the only minion Zephrys can read the text of is Doomsayer (or rather he knows what Doomsayer does).
Zephrys can see keywords like Taunt and Deathrattle, he just can’t read any other text and he can’t guess at what type of deck your opponent is playing (even if it’s obvious to you).

Zephrys doesn’t seem to be running on an AI, but on hard codding. As such It can’t give you appropriate cards for cards made after itself (after uldun) If they ever update it’s code it will be able to give you appropriate cards, but until then it will just see the stats and give you cards to deal with them (guessing pain in this case).
That’s also part of why it doesn’t give newer removal cards. I think it doesn’t give wild cards either (in wild (could be wrong)).
Zephrys is hard coded to only give you cards that were part of the Basic/Classic set while Zephrys was in Standard. So it can’t give you cards released after it, but it also can’t give you most cards released before it either.

So it doesn’t offer hex, then is the correct play to wait and try to get psychic scream or vanish? Does Zephrys offer those?
i suggest you do a google search and read up on how zephrys exactly works aswell as what cards he offers
I was doing exactly that, thanks. I just thought you might know. I’ve never used Zephrys because I don’t have the card and I was curious.
Edit: Looks like Zephrys doesn’t offer vanish or psychic scream. I guess because they were in the hall of fame? The only card it seems to offer that would help get rid of Vargoth without killing him would be shadow madness. That requires the enemy to have a minion that could kill Vargoth anyways so it’s not ideal.
Zephrys doesn’t offer Vanish because it was sent to the Hall of Fame before Zephrys was implemented, correct. Psychic Scream, however, was never a Basic/Classic card (it was released in Kobolds and Catacombs).

Think Psychic Scream was in wild at the time Zyphrys came out. Hence the not giving wild cards (also not basic/classic as Mad said). It was kinda future proofing at the time
Hex and poly can be offered. It just seems zephrys didn’t think that was the better option, because he can’t read.

That and also he doesn’t know that the player is a ress priest or even what that means for your strategy. He just wants to help you take over the board and lower the enemy’s health, which is usually a pretty good strategy.

I had an instance recently where on 4 mana I didn’t get the mass dispel I needed to dispel 2 minions that would populate the board with previously killed deathrattles and repopulate the opponents deck (endless loop), the option was Hex and 2 other bs cards.
I swear “mass dispel” is the most bugged card you can get from zephrys ever.
Sometimes it doesn’t offer you that card when you have lethal on board…
(at least, it used to. I am not playing zephrys since october-november probably)

you might have gotten unlucky with the timing then. there was a short period where lifesteal taunt was bugged with zephrys and zephrys assumed the lifesteal taunt had to be attacked first and would therefore not offer lethal outs because with lifesteal accounted for there wasnt lethal on board.
