Supermodel Update 4 - Under Siege
This update removes the bonus card scenarios that were always meant as placeholders and replaces them with actual scenarios with unique art and mechanics. It also adds three new scenarios, one each for Blink, Seraphim, and Vanguard. Since these still represent some of the first matches you'd play in the full game, they don't go too crazy and stick close to the scenarios you already know. The difference lies in a few replaced challenge cards and the introduction of a couple of new ones. These were deliberately picked to introduce complications for some of the strategies I've seen developed for each character and should keep you on your toes without getting too challenging.
There is also a brand new story chapter for Anna Morgenstern called "Under Siege" that hints at the overarching story conflict while also serving as a bridge to Update 5's new type of card scenarios.
In addition to the new content, Update 4 also makes some balance changes to certain underutilized cards, hopefully making them more appealing to use. We also get a few quality-of-life improvements, including reversed sorting for scenario banners (placing the newest chapters at the top of the list instead of the bottom) and alphabetical sorting of cards in the deckbuilder.
Enjoy!

Not the biggest fan of the alphabetical sort order. It makes it harder to build a deck if you don't know what cards you want going in
I'm not sure how the old order was more logical in that way, but you have tools to help with this. Remember that there's a filter button in the lower left corner. Using that, you'll have no trouble finding the appropriate type of cards for what you want to do. The reason the alphabetical sorting was necessary was because of how difficult it was to recreate other people's decks before. It was a nightmare to hunt down individual cards by name, but no more.
Oh, good! Can't wait to play it!
Actually, I'll have to wait haha. Is it just me or download speeds are very low from pixeldrain? I mean, in the order of around 100 KB/s (yes, 'K', not 'M')
Thanks Belle! Looking forward to playing this update.
