For your combat check, reveal this card and discard a spell to use your Arcane skill + 1d10; this counts as playing a spell. You may additionally discard this card to add another 2d10 and the Cold, Electricity, Fire, or Force trait.
When a character at your location encounters a monster, reveal this card and discard a spell. The monster is evaded; put it on top its location deck.
Power feat: On your ([X] or a character at your location's) non-combat check against a ([] weapon or) monster, you may recharge a card to add 1d6 ([X] 1d10).
For the Adventure reward, Ezren gains a Power Feat; Ezren will check off:
"[X] When you would discard a spell that has the Arcane trait for its power, you may display it instead. At the end of your turn, recharge all such spells ([ ] or shuffle them into your deck)."
I won't compete for deck upgrades that I'd only want for substitute characters, so instead - For Ezren's Deck Upgrade, he'll take...
Item 3: Replace Wand of Flying with Phlegmatic Talisman (Hell's Vengeance 2).
Neither of the Loot Ally 5's appeal to me.
Card texts are below. I don't actually have a way to remove the Corrupted trait, so Phlegmatic Talisman really just says "bury this card to draw Ukobach from my deck". Since Ukobach is awesome and I'm fine with thinning my deck, I actually have come to the conclusion that this is perfectly fine.

Recharge this card to search your deck for an ally that has the Demon or Devil trait and draw it. If this card has the Corrupted trait, bury this card instead.

4-5E Summary (1 deck upgrade, 1 power feat)
Ezren - Item 3, [X] When you would discard a spell that has the Arcane trait for its power, you may display it instead
Hayato - none, you may recharge a card to add 1d6 ([X] 1d10).
Radovan - none, ([X] or when you defeat a monster)
Vika - Blessing 4, [X] Add 2 to any check to acquire a weapon or armor by another character at your location.
Zarlova - Ally 5, [ X] You gain the skill Arcane: Intelligence +2
For Tier Progression, Ezren gains a Skill Feat; Ezren will check off:
"Wisdom: [X] +3"
@Zarlova:
So, a Spell 6 is my primary preference, and I will overall want two Spell 6s during this adventure.
If Zarlova also wants two or more Spell 6s during this adventure, then I'm willing to allow her to take this first one and instead take the Armor 6; especially because I suspect Armor is going to be the least-desired deck upgrade this scenario and that way I'll be improving my deck without getting in the road of anyone else's progression.
So with that in mind, Ezren is willing to step aside his Spell 6 (and Item 6) preferences as needed, but his Deck Upgrade preferences are otherwise as follows...
Spell 6: Replace Ice and Fire with Canopic Conversion (Hell's Vengeance 2). Spell 6, lower priority than Zarlova:1d1000 ⇒ 729
Spell 6: Replace Ice and Fire with Arcane Cannonade (Ultimate Magic). Spell 6, lower priority than Zarlova:1d1000 ⇒ 127
Item 6: Replace Byzantine Lexicon with Wand of Thunder (Ultimate Magic). Item 6, lower priority than Vika:1d1000 ⇒ 561
Armor 6: Replace Helm of Electric Radiance with Phoenix Cloak (Ultimate Magic). Armor 6:1d1000 ⇒ 326
I'm all for just distributing upgrades so everyone gets something they want. If there's a spare AD6 boon left over that nobody's claimed (which I feel is unlikely), then I may use my Treasure Hunter boon for a second deck upgrade.
Card texts are below. Let me know if the party is interested in me taking Arcane Cannonade (which supports the entire team for largely the entire scenario) over Canopic Conversion (which is perhaps a bit more versatile and powerful, adding between +8 to +12 to any single check after killing the right monster with it).

I have a small interest in taking Mortevia Strassel for future scenarios.
I'll be travelling over the next 4 days; whilst I've got arrangements in place to hopefully access a PC for posting purposes at least once a day, my overall posting frequency is uncertain. If Ezren needs to be botted, please do so for any reason.
Correct list of acquired cards for 4-6D:
Spell B Acid Splash
Spell B Acute Senses
Spell B Augury
Spell 6 Boneshatter
Spell 6 Canopic Conversion
Spell 5 Spite Cloud
Armor 2 Mistmail
Item 1 Djinn Favor Amulet
Item B Feather of Maat
Item B Healer's Kit
Blessing 4 Blessing of Anubis
Blessing 4 Blessing of Anubis
Blessing B Blessing of Bastet
Blessing B Blessing of Horus
Blessing 4 Blessing of Osiris
Blessing B Blessing of the Ancients
Blessing 1 Blessing of Thoth
I'll add a Weapon 6 to the pile, and then likely take Weapon 6 and Blessing 4 for my upgrades. If there happens to be an unused Item 6 left after everyone else takes their upgrades, I'll take that instead.
Card feat I guess is a Weapon, even though I don't really want one at this point.
I can probably find something else if not that. Probably the Spell 6 for a stronger combat spell.
Ezren will fill his empty Item slot with Binder's Tome again.
(Ezren doesn't need to pick a power feat now - he can choose one to treat as checked off next scenario after setup. And I'm having a hard time picking one - they all seem super, super corner case-ey.
Probably this one...
When you encounter a bane that has the Acid, Cold, Electricity, Fire, or Poison ([X] or Undead) trait, ignore its immunities.
But it's not as good as it looks - I don't ever rely on the Poison or Mental traits. But it might let me bypass another immunity certain undead have, or I might pick up a Poison or Mental spell, I guess.)
No deck upgrades for Radovan.
Choosing the power feat:
Reduce Fire, Poison, or Ranged Combat damage ([X] or damage dealt by a summoned monster) dealt to you...
