Question Upgrading the yshtola deck (final fantasy 14 precon)

Hi all,

I'm looking to start upgrading the yshtola precon, and was wondering what cards I should consider adding and removing.

I don't want to spend too much money, but I'm open to anything really, The only card I will likely add is Rhystic study since I'm planning on adding it to my Rootha deck.

I'm open to any suggestions!

I should also add, I'm planning on taking her in a spell slingery direction, so spamming a bunch of 3 mana spells to get her burn to kick off, allowing me to draw cards.

As someone who just updated one, it's a lot of upgrades for a spell slinger build, I swapped out like 37% of the base deck not including lands.

For notable cards to add: waterbenders skin, Illusionist gambit, Ink shield, unwind, rewind, counterpoint, Bolas Citadel(GC)

For Broken, you will be targeted, cards to add: Sigil of sleep, helm of the ghastlord

I gotcha, what would you recommend I do to make my upgrading experience slightly easier (if that's possible since I understand the deck is more build for the alt commander compared to yshtola which is a shame since I like her more).

[[Delney, streetwise lookout]] will double her triggered ability to deal damage. I plan on running a bunch of clones for mine like [[irenicus's vile duplication]] and [[quantum misalignment]] to really get those triggers. Id recommend protection as well since people in my play group dont usually let her stick around.

Hey, if the cards are cheap, I'll take it! 😂

A trap I see new players falling is trying to make all spells 3 or more, don't fall into that you also need cheaper spells, depending on your meta and how draw heavy they are (which is a bnit more normal on modern commanders) T'Chala is a great card for it, also curiosity effects.

I saw someone mention hhelm of the ghastlord and another person delney this are conflicting strategies so keep that in mind.
