Playstyle: Fast 9 (HARD)
Almost all cheap Arcanist units don't make final board so you can play this from any strong tear opener. Sylas quest can be done separately so selling a J4 2* early/mid game is totally fine. Can play 2 star 5 costs over Neeko/Lux (Example: Sera+Vi+Azir)

Stage 2-3
Ideally have winstreak opener with resource generation: Ionia, Bilgewater, Bard, or Ixtal. Prioritize slamming mana items for Annie later.
Stage 4
Be willing to roll some on level 8 to stabilize. If bleeding too much, delay level 9 and roll for temp carries like Seraphine, Liss, or 3 costs.
Stage 5
Get to level 9 and unlock Sylas. Keep at least 3 traits for Ryze to gain power, but you can flex in other regions too. Cap with Azir 2 + Shurima.
