Grand Arbiter Augustin IVGC is rude. I don't play against him anymore, but an old playgroup had him in circulation all the time. Such a frustrating commander to play against. Aven Mindcensor is an agitating card to consider. I had to counter balance against your commander by doing stax with Gaddock Teeg out of frustration. LOL

Greetings! Noticed your Help tag, and request for some general feedback ...

Biggest advice I could give -- especially if you're aiming for Bracket 4 -- is to invest a bit in your manabase for sure, and maybe in some more mana acceleration/cost reduction effects.

With a 4-mana Commander who wants to be casting multiple 3-mana spells a turn, I'd recommend 38 Lands (with as few Tap Lands as possible), 12 mana acceleration effects (costing 2-mana or less, to help power out Y'shtola on Turn 3), and 4 cost reduction effects or slow mana sources (costing 3 mana or less, to help power out 2x spells a turn starting on Turn 4).

Some possible Lands (with more options over at Managathering.com):
- Fetchable Triome: Raffine's Tower
- MDFCs: Hengegate Pathway  ^Flip, Clearwater Pathway  ^Flip, Brightclimb Pathway  ^Flip, and maybe Waterlogged Teachings  ^Flip (not sure if it's worth it as the Land side enters Tapped)
- Missing Fetch Lands: Marsh Flats, Flooded Strand
- Missing Battlebond Lands: Sea of Clouds, Vault of Champions

Possible Fast Mana sources:
- Fellwar Stone
- Thought Vessel
- Mox Amber and Mana VaultGC (worth mentioning, even if they're too spendy)

Possible Cost Reducers/Slow Mana Sources:
- Lyse Hext
- Alisaie Leveilleur
- Grand Arbiter Augustin IVGC (I know he's 4 mana, but he's really good)
- Relic of Legends
- Bender's Waterskin

Good luck (and good skill!) with Y'shtola!
Cheers!

I already have a Ghave deck:

I also want to do others, though. Derevi, Empyrial Tactician, Grand Arbiter Augustin IVGC, etc.

I do not wish to sound ignorant, but how are Kinnan, Bonder ProdigyGC and Winota, Joiner of ForcesGC worthy of being considered game changers? They certainly are powerful, but I do not think that they are nearly as oppressive as are Grand Arbiter Augustin IVGC or Urza, Lord High ArtificerGC, for example.

And how is Oko, Thief of Crowns not on this list? He is extremely powerful, and I believe that he most certainly can warp games if left unchecked.
