Scions & Spellcraft Collector's Edition (FINAL FANTASY XIV)

Commander precon · Final Fantasy Commander · 2025 · led by Y'shtola, Night's Blessed

Main theme: Spellslinger · Synergy 4.6/5 (tight) · Bracket 1–2 · Y'shtola, Night's Blessed works with 32 of its cards

Upgrades at bracket 1–2

No Game Changers and no infinite combos: the level of an unchanged precon. Game Changers are cards on WotC's official list of cards that make a deck much stronger.

15 swaps, and after them the report reads the deck at bracket 1–2.

Its cards work together a little more: synergy 4.6 → 4.7 of 5, still tight. Its consistency is unchanged: Build stays at 5.0 of 5, on target. That is what this page measures: how well the deck holds together, not how strong it is.
