Scions & Spellcraft (FINAL FANTASY XIV) Precon: Decklist, Value, and Verdict
Everything in the Scions & Spellcraft (FINAL FANTASY XIV) Commander deck: all 100 cards with current prices, what the deck is worth against the sealed price, the 25 new cards, and whether it is worth buying.
Y'shtola, Night's Blessed
Vigilance At the beginning of each end step, if a player lost 4 or more life this turn, you draw a card. Whenever you cast a noncreature spell with mana value 3 or greater, Y'shtola deals 2 damage to each opponent and you gain 2 life.
Is Scions & Spellcraft (FINAL FANTASY XIV) worth buying?
It’s time for a new set and new precons to tinker with! I know very little about the Final Fantasy games, but the cards look pretty interesting, and there are certainly some spicy commanders worth building around.
One I’ve been interested in since it was spoiled is Y'shtola, Night's Blessed, the face commander of the Scions & Spellcraft precon. Today, I’m upgrading the precon to bring out the best in this lovely spellslinger commander!

As far as the deck’s connection to Final Fantasy, I’m told that the themes of Scions saving the realm and wielding powerful spells directly ties into the new FFXIV Dawntrail expansion.
