Scions & Spellcraft (FINAL FANTASY XIV) upgrade guide
Budget upgrades, cuts and the full decklist for Y'shtola, Night's Blessed.
Scions & Spellcraft (FINAL FANTASY XIV) is an Esper (white-blue-black) Commander precon from Final Fantasy Commander (2025), led by Y'shtola, Night's Blessed. Out of the box it runs 37 lands, 11 ramp pieces, 16 card-draw effects, 9 removal spells and 3 board wipes, with an average mana value of 3.37.
It already covers the Commander basics, so the best upgrades focus on synergy and a faster mana base (6 lands enter tapped). Its game plan leans on spellslinger, lifegain and tokens, so the plan below favors cards that push that. The $50 plan below makes 10 swaps for $27.92.
