For Scenario 4-4A: WASTELAND DIPLOMACY...
-> Oh, nice! I'll take Season of Tapestry’s Tides Reward #1 - Unconventional Firepower, please.
With that said, if someone on this table really wanted that reward (like they had a character idea or something that would rely on it) then let me know and I'll donate it to them.
For Ezren's Skill Feat, he'll take Wisdom [X] +1.
Ezren banished Life Drain, Cure and {Locate Object} (traded away for Disable Mechanism, which was banished) during the scenario, leaving him with 3 empty spell slots.
For Ezren's Card Upgrade, his preferences are as follows:
Any remaining empty Spell Slots will be filled with:
Ezren has a conditional interest in the Golden Serpent Armband, depending on the scenario (such as for this very next one!).

For Scenario 4-4B: IT’S LOOKING LIKE RAIN ...
For Ezren's Power Feat, he'll take Hand Size [X] 8.
For Ezren's Card Upgrade, he has a strong preference for:
Ezren has a conditional interest in both spell loots, depending on the scenario. Elemental Skin would be primarily useful if he was sticking at a location with the team, since he could play it off-turn and provide +1d8 to combat checks made by Radovan, Hayato and Vika, as well as being a conditional defensive spell. Eruption is primarily useful if he needs to tweak his deck to be more combat-heavy.

For Ezren's Card Upgrade, his preferences are as follows:
Ezren has a strong interest in the Erayu ally.
Yep, I'm definitely getting nothing this time. ;-)
For Scenario 4-4D: A KILLER CONUNDRUM ...
Well that was... something. Sorry for breaking things!
For Ezren's Card Feat, he'll take Ally [X] 4.
Ezren banished Cure during the scenario, leaving him with 1 empty spell slot.
For Ezren's Card Upgrade, his preferences are as follows:
Ezren will fill his empty card slots with:
As described in the Hangout, I don't think Ezren is the best carrier of the Mythopoeic Sphinx (which I consider better for it's "Replace itself with Tetsisurah" power rather than its normal power), but he'll take it if nobody else does.
Card Texts are below. I've also attached Tetisurah's text, since she's the only card I believe you can draw if you use the second power of the Mythopoeic Sphinx, so if replacing one of your Items with Tetisurah seems like a good idea, then know that you can completely do that!

Note that Magnetic Grimoire can consistently support all of Radovan's combat checks, as well as the majority of Zarlova's (and some of her recharge checks), when I'm at their locations.
4-4D:
Spell 4: Scrying (upgrade augury)
Card feat: Blessing [x] 7 -> Blessing of the Spellbound
Card Feat: Ally
Deck Upgrade: I'll take one of the leftover spells, if there are any. Just in case I ever swap out characters again. But I don't really need anything else of the options.
Card Feat: Item
I may yet make some small changes or amendments, but I do plan to play as Nyctessa (with Ultimate Magic) during the next scenario, and I've built my deck and added my Loot preferences to the Loot sheet.
Generally Nyctessa is actually very similar to Ezren. Spell-heavy, high Intelligence, uses the Hungering Staff and Advocate's Armor. She does actually have some Blessings, though, but a weaker Arcane skill.
Where Ezren can explore like crazy by discarding recharging Spells and gain benefits against elemental-traited banes, Nyctessa simply draws defeated monsters into her hand, heals herself by defeating monsters, and can banish them for bonuses. There's a bit more to her than that, but that's the short of it.
She has a few cards that play interestingly with the monsters she can pick up, most notably Robe of Bones, which allows her to re-use spells by banishing monsters instead. In a Siege scenario with a metric ton of monsters, I think she'll perform quite well.
Oh, and with the GM's permission, as stated in hangouts, I will be playing with an unofficial nerf to Animate Dead, where it is displayed until end-of-turn for its effect, similar to Restoration. This prevents the infinite-loop it has with Robe of Bones, and also brings it in line with other cards that can draw 2+ cards into your hand by spending 1.

Once per turn, if you are required to remove cards from your deck and you don't have enough, you do not die ([ ] and you may reset your hand from your discard pile).

For Scenario 4-4E: THE SPELLSCAR SHOWDOWN...
Not an entirely bad haul, though I'm stunned at the sheer quantity of Spell 4s we acquired over the course of the 5-scenario adventure. How many was it in total? 11 or so? We got 2-3 Spell 4s in almost every scenario. Here's hoping Spell 5s are just as easy to find.
Ezren chooses to Tier-Up to Tier 5.
For Ezren's Card Upgrade, his preferences are as follows:
The Mythopoeic Sphinx can now draw a Loot Ally 5, from memory. I don't have the full card text handy for that AD5 Loot Sphinx Ally, but I'll update the Loot Tracker with it later if Mork doesn't beat me to it.
Ezren will, of course, take the Necklace of Fireballs loot some of the time, as long as the scenario is combat-heavy enough.

If you would fail a combat check, bury this card to add the scenario's adventure deck number.
Discard this card to explore your location. During this exploration, on your combat checks, add 1d6 and the Poison trait.

Skill Feat: Constitution +2
And with the sheer volume of loot there, I might cash in my Treasure Hunter boon now... we'll see what's left after the first round of picks.
For Scenario 4-5A: ZARTA’S ASSESSMENT...
Once again, not sure why we skipped Ezren's turn in order to take a significantly lower-odds check to acquire with Hayato. I would've happily had someone bot Ezren instead in such a case if it's just in the interests of time.
For Ezren's Skill Feat, he checks off Wisdom [X] +2.
During the scenario, Ezren banished Disable Mechanism (which leads to the original traded away card, Deathgrip, being banished) and Cure, leaving him with two empty spell slots.
For Ezren's Deck Upgrade, his preferences are as follows...

Power Feat: Hand Size 6
Deck Upgrades:
Armor 4 (Fortified Breastplate)
Ally 4 (Mighty Steed)
And since nobody else wants either of those, and everybody gets their top pick, I might just use my second tick on the treasure hunter boon to take both.
For Scenario 4-5C: THE STARS ALIGN...
During the scenario, Ezren banished Restorative Touch, leaving him with an empty spell slot.
For Ezren's Deck Upgrade, his preferences are as follows...
Card texts are below.
Life Leech is one of the precious few genuine 'cure' effects on an Arcane spell, let alone a purely Arcane one. Thing is, only in combat, and it's really weak at this stage of the game (unlike its baby brother Life Drain, which tends to pop up in Deck B or Deck 1 and has the same offensive power). Only viable against weak enemies, or if I'm buffing my checks (which, thankfully, Ezren is not bad at doing).
I don't tend to need much healing anyway, but it's nice to have.
