Masters 25 is now up for your drafting enjoyment here: http://draftsim.com/draft.php?mode=Draft_A25

As is always the case with Masters sets, there are numerous cards in this set that are expensive, but are not exceptional cards in draft. For example, Imperial Recruiter, Chalice of the Void, and Ensnaring Bridge all fit into this category. So what do you think? Should the bots take these cards highly because they're "valuable"? Or would you rather Draftsim simulate a more competitive environment where the cards are picked totally based on their limited gameplay value alone?

I can always bump up the power rating on cards like that in the future, but have been reluctant because having a "suggested picks" function has meant to me that the system is advising you on the best pick for your deck, not what happens to be worth a few dollars currently.

I'll take a look at seeing if I can do this since the vote is pretty close for both options. It might include having to create a new dimension for each card like whether it is a "chase rare" or not. My initial thought is that I'm more inclined to do it for masters sets vs standard sets because of the fluctuation of prices. Something like a Kumena can vary between $30 and $3 overnight.

I think you should have the Bots draft by power level not by price. In the end it really doesn't matter that much because those cards as you mentioned a lot of times aren't very good in draft so we should also be ignoring them most of the time. The power level in most sets and I find especially in Masters sets is actually in Commons and uncommons, so whether or not you take the rare doesn't mean a whole lot in most cases because you could draft good cards after that anyway. In both of my paper Masters draft that I did last weekend I ended up with more than enough playables and went three and one in both drafts even though I rare drafted twice.
