Upgrade the failures you notice most

Mana base upgrades

For Sythis, Harvest's Hand, mana upgrades usually outperform flashy spell swaps until the deck stops stumbling. Look for lands and rocks that cast your setup on time, not just your late-game bombs. Budget untapped sources, signets, talismans, and role-player rocks are often the highest-value purchases because they improve every game, not only your best draws.

Interaction and draw

Use swaps without weakening the deck

Paste your list into the budget swap tool and set a threshold that matches how you actually buy cards, such as every card over $5 or over $15. Then pressure-test each suggestion by asking whether it still advances Sythis, Harvest's Hand's plan and whether it keeps the same timing on your curve. That is the difference between saving money and quietly making the deck clunkier.
