So what Bandai is doing here is inexcusable.

@SPArcheon-onstrike Sandfall shipped upwards of eight hours of music in over 150 tracks for that same $20.

@RavenDreamer This is an update to the standalone soundtrack, not to the game itself.

30 of 154 tracks were updated.

(see also steamcommunity.com/app/1903340/discussions/0/592903515855227678)

(several tracks in the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 original soundtrack suffered from audible distortion due to clipping; the versions posted on YouTube, etc. were fixed a couple of weeks ago, and the update has just shipped on Steam)

Even soundtracks can be patched.

Gotta love Gestrals for being the blood knights they are.

(Monoco, on reviving another character)

> Having a bit too much fun, eh?

Nonstop "draw a card" triggers in a deck that's loaded with enchantments.

I've discarded more times than I'd like on my cleanup step.

(yes, I'm the problem 🤣)

Overwhelming card advantage is the other thing I've noticed with this deck. Elesh Norn would only amplify this.

I've found it tends to go tall because of the Virtuous Role tokens.

I'll look into those later. For now, I'll see how these cards can fit in the deck.

Yeah, that's what I'm aiming for

I mean, those singles already cost more than what I spent on the Virtue and Valor precon itself.

That card is too expensive, and it's a Commander Game Changer, which might draw a bit of ire.

It's mono-white.

...or not. Thought it was white-blue.

Yeah. I've said elsewhere that it's one of the best protection spells ever printed...

Before you ask: the Containment Priest is there because there's reanimator in my playgroup.

I'm surprised the shock land is more expensive.

(yes, the last card in this list is a fetch land)

How did I do?

While it's still powerful in a 100-card singleton format, it's much less format-warping.

The fact that Once Upon a Time can be played "turn-zero" is exactly why it's banned in Pioneer and Modern.

@XanderHenderson Nobody expects a player to say "on your end step" before they even play their first land... but that's exactly what I did.

The thing is, Ellivere is a strong commander to begin with, and Virtue and Valor is a pretty powerful deck even in its unmodified state.

lol

I still have very little experience playing paper Magic. It's only when my colleagues got into it that I actually got myself a Commander precon.

The deck did see a few upgrades, most notably Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines (which hasn't seen play so far) and Once Upon a Time (which I wound up playing turn-one on an opponent's end step today).

Yeah, CK makes sense.

I'll look into it, though I'm not normally picky about vendors over issues like this.

The problem is that a lot of companies do that...

Hmm... I guess it's time for me to start ordering singles on TCGplayer.

lol

Craterhoof is of course an option (and was last printed in TDM!) but that's not exactly what I was thinking about.

@XanderHenderson I was leaning towards stuff like Gaea's Gift and Overprotect that can grant trample at instant speed...

It also needs sources of trample to perform its best.

On the other hand, the deck has trouble dealing with removal.

Funny how quickly commander damage can add up, especially when Syr Ellivere herself is enchanted. Angelic Destiny on Ellivere means 8 commander damage in the air, resulting in a three-turn clock.

After a handful of Commander games... Selesnya Ellivere enchantress can be devastating in the right conditions, with insane card advantage, but it's not the most reactive deck.

Yeah. I'd settle on {1}{U}{B}.

Hmm. On second thought, that makes sense.

Hence a creature is still required: "Destroy target creature. Counter up to one target activated or triggered ability."

(allowing mono-black to play it for four mana, but three if you have blue)

Maaaaaaybe monocolored hybrid mana symbols (e.g. {2/U}{B}{B})?
