4/5 BroadYama assessment. Moderate changes.Lower spell costs and improve spell payoffs.
- Card support
- Cost reducers, spell-damage payoffs and copied spells can share the same package.
- Commander payoff
- The second spell can be copied if it targets a permanent or player; otherwise the commander draws a card.
- Restrictions
- Targeting only a spell or a graveyard card does not qualify for copying. The trigger occurs only on the second spell each turn.
Limit: Shiko and Narset reward the second spell each turn, not every spell.
Upgrade examples
- Stormcatch Mentor: Spell-cost reduction.
- Coruscation Mage: Damage from noncreature spells.
- Thousand-Year Storm: Additional instant/sorcery copies.
Yama's editorial judgment of improvement options for the stated commander configuration while retaining the precon’s main theme. Based on the cited guides, checked card examples and commander restrictions. No upgrade win-rate estimate is available. Audited 2026-10-27. Catalog list.

What 1–5 means
| Grade | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1: Minimal | Individual replacements do little for the main plan; its limiting mechanism remains. |
| 2: Narrow | Useful replacements exist, but a commander or theme restriction blocks most further gains. |
| 3: Workable | A documented package improves the plan, with a persistent setup, combat or card-pool limit. |
| 4: Broad | Several compatible packages improve the plan and its finish; important restrictions still apply. |
| 5: Exceptional | The commander supplies repeatable resources and a direct finish; on-theme additions strengthen both. |
These are Yama’s ordinal judgments, with no measured win-rate gain attached. A grade belongs to the stated commander configuration and retained main theme. Assess on-theme commander swaps separately; a replacement strategy is a separate deck build. Missing evidence means ungraded. Targeted changes refine the main package; Moderate replaces several packages; Substantial removes much of the shell. Effort describes work, not a budget or Commander bracket.
