What to Upgrade first in Air/Life deck

[101TheJoker101]

So I've just got enough money to upgrade cards and I'm not sure which yet, here is my deck:
7x Emerald Pillar
3x Rustler
1x Druidic Staff
4x Emphatic Bond
1x Hope
9x Wind Pillar
6x Firefly Queen
1x Owl's Eye
Air Mark
Even some advice on card choices would be nice too
thanks

Rustler. That +2 hp will greatly increase its survivability.
Don't ever upgrade your FFQs.

Owl's Eye, Druidic Staff, and your pillars are also viable alternatives. Those upgrades would help a fair bit.

Upping Emp bond is kinda useless (-1 cost isn't *that* helpful), and upping hope increases its cost by 1.

I'd upgrade the wind pillars first.  Getting out an FFQ one turn earlier can mean all the difference in setting up your synergy based defenses.

The image makes it easier to help.

Pendulums might be make your deck more stable and consistant. Maybe change 7 life and 9 air pillars into 15 life pendulums. Another tweak might be adding another hope. With only 1 the chances of drawing one of the most powerful shields in the game is slim.

As for upgrades, I would have to disagree with the rustler idea. 1 vs 3 HP is really only helpful vs fire shield, which is going to reek havoc with your fireflies anyway. And by the time rustler becomes useful it is more in the late game, in which the other creatures would have absorbed most of the cc already.

Empathic bond is also only useful in the late game when you are not as tight with your quanta anyway so upgrading those, is not a priority.

I would suggest that the quanta producers (pillars and pends) should be upped first in this deck

I think I'd upgrade the pillars first in that deck.  Upgrading the weapons would also be a good choice, but upgraded weapons can be won from gold/platinum, whereas upgraded towers are extremely rare to win, so I'd start with pillars.

Thanks for the help two hopes is a definite, and I'll try out the pendulum idea, otherwise its a wind pillar being upgraded, thanks again
