|Text=Elder ties the pile together, giving you an extra choice when choose-one-ing (or choose-two-ing). It's optional; you can Elder a {{Card|Count}} and take an extra good thing but not an extra bad thing. If I made a card like Elder as a regular pile, game after game there'd be no choose-one on the same board. But it's in a [[split pile]] so there are always at least two, {{Card|Town Crier}} and {{Card|Blacksmith}}. And then {{Card|Miller}} can help you line up the combo. | |Text=Elder ties the pile together, giving you an extra choice when choose-one-ing (or choose-two-ing).

{{Quote|Text=Maybe it's better not to do really cool cards like Elder. I dunno, it always seems worth it to me. I don't think anything needs errata due to Elder. I mean, zero cards.
