Changelog
Thanks Cuv for a lot of feedback.

- Urza poisons Phyrexians that choose him.
- Dovin turns off with 3 living players, and can't choose the same player twice in a row.
- Phyrexians make new Phyrexians at dawn, players only might die.
- Phyrexians now Kazali the Outsider count.
After First Playtest (2024-06-19)
- Ugin learns 3 out-of-play demons from in play demons due to bad interactions with Nahiri/Bolas at low player counts.
- Nissa "Each night, learn how many different players chose you tonight." >> "Each day, publicly choose a player; they cannot die tonight."
- Kenrith changed to outsider. "Each night, if all living Kenriths agree, the chosen player's vote counts for one extra. The extra Kenrith might be evil. [+1 Kenrith]" >> "Each night, choose a player. Their vote counts for 1 less tomorrow. [There can be multiple Kenriths]"
- Liliana can now hand extra vote tokens to players who are alive or who already have vote tokens.
- Gideon now drunks the townsfolk they save.
- Reworked Venser, since none of the outsiders on this script want to be saved anymore.
- Added Wrenn.
- Karn is less Official Golem and more of a pacifist (not the Official character).
- Kaya is a now traveler. Should be more fun.
- Replaced Kaito with Vraska.
- Ashiok has a new ability.
- Ob Nixilis gained Ashiok's old ability.
- Nahiri now only might register as the good townsfolk they saw, due to Chandra and the potential for the new Gideon to drunk them.
- BOLAS has been nerfed. Mathematics states there are player counts where Bolas couldn't lose. Now, they choose one less player and their most recent choice is poisoned.
- Garruk now poisons players that choose them instead of killing them. Garruk now kills a neighbor of their choice, instead of their choice.
- Number of Eldrazi in the game capped at 2. Any more are minions.
- Since Phyrexians are created at dawn, they can now safely kill each night*.
- There is now only the need for 1 jinx. Only the Elspeth/Nahiri jinx remains, and its a quality of life jinx similar to Cerenovus/Goblin.

Wrenn
Once per game, during the day, visit the Storyteller to learn how a player did something suboptimal.
“Your legend travels farther than your feet. My legend travels only precisely as far.”Examples
- The storyteller tells Wrenn that the Dovin should have chosen Billil yesterday, but doesn't explain that that it's because Billil is the Nissa who protected the neighbor of Garruk's choice last night, and that the other neighbor was a minion.
- The storyteller tells Wrenn that Nid shouldn't have chosen themself last night, but doesn't explain that it's because they are the only living Phyrexian.
- The storyteller tells Wrenn that the Liliana should have chosen a different player last night, but doesn't explain it's because they are talking about the Nahiri with the Liliana ability who chose their Ashiok.
How to Run
This is purely subjective to the Storyteller.

- Jace picks Rilig, the Vraska, in the night. Later, Vraska picks the Nissa. Vraska is drunk and nothing happens.
- The only player to choose Zonna, the Vraska, is the Vivien. Vraska chooses and kills the Ashiok and becomes Good, since Vivien acts after Vraska.

Dovin
Each night, choose a player different from last night: they cannot nominate, be nominated, or make public statements tomorrow. You are poisoned if there is only one good living player.
“See that no one enters or leaves New Prahv today. And notify me at once of any Planeswalker activity.”Examples
- The Urza is detained. He attempts to choose Kenrith. Tonight, no Kenrith dies. The Urza has not used his ability.
- The Ajani is detained. He attempts to nominate the Gideon. The Storyteller tells him he cannot.
- The Garruk is detained. Jace attempts to nominate the Garruk. The Storyteller tells him he cannot.
How to Run
Dovin does not stop the chosen player from speaking. It cannot, as the chosen player is not told that they have been affected by Dovin's ability. Instead, treat the statements made by the affected player as being ignored by the Storyteller. If this character was played with official TPI characters, some examples of "public statements" are Gossips, Juggles, and Mezepheles words.
Players who have been chosen by Dovin and cannot nominate can still have other players nominate on their behalf. Dovin cannot and should not prevent a player from taking over the accusation or defense of another player.

- Nahiri summons an Eldrazi. Nahiri and any other minions do not become Eldrazi.
