Lore friendly meaning you don't muck about with the timeline and bring in the OT1 cast.

Mainly, this means you lose out on the best defensive and best offensive Support Skills: Saving Grace (Ophilia) and (the big one) Surpassing Power (Olberic).

A second change would be that anyone with a dedicated building role (Stia, Phenn, Ludo and Laurana) in Wishvale has to stay in Wishvale once their building is built, but I don't think this is as big a deal.

I don't play Commander anymore, but having watched a tournament where a spouse had every game go past time, I decided to do the only thing meaningful I could to help: give unsolicited suggestions to anonymous people online.

Suggestion: Until the final tables, Player 1 and Player 4 score jointly, and Player 2 and Player 3 score jointly. I believe this would fix the problems of unwanted collusion, and I suspect reduce the number of draws by ~1/2 because you can't be put in a position of politicking for the kingmaker, and would have let us not have to have drive-thru McDonalds for dinner.
