(Casual) Compendium budget upgrade

I know it's nowhere near the optimum, but the assignment question is what are the upgrades y'all would recommend I make with only 30.000 - 35.000 (now 120.000) crystals available.

1X[card]Archmage Anryena[/card]
1X[card]Prophet[/card]
1X[card]Aerouant the Crystalomancer[/card]

1X[card]Lightning Bolts[/card] (AoE)
2X[card]Fireball[/card]
1X[card]Rain of death[/card]
2X[card]Arcanium[/card]
3X[card]Burn in hell[/card]
2X[card]Armor Invocation[/card]
3X[card]Dragon Armor[/card]
1X[card]Draconian Scepter[/card]
1X[card]Sword of Light[/card]
3X[card]Than the Sword[/card]
1X[card]Tadaa! You're a bunny![/card]

"Sideboard": 1X[card]Tadaa! You're a bunny![/card] (a second one), 1X[card]Arcanium[/card], 1X[card]Crystal Storm[/card], 1X[card]Dragon Fangs[/card], 1X[card]Joker[/card], 1X[card]Reborn[/card] (Now 1X The Dragon's Breath too)

What's the best way to spend the crystals for this casual deck?

(Feel free to inculde main-deck/sideboard changes or sales in your calculations)

upgrade you 2 fireballs into a rain of death, and buy another dragons breath.

fireballs and dragons breath should be your main offensive power and you should try on getting 3 of each first. also i can advice a breaker wich is cheap but is a perfect counter to the nehantic stone.

Why Im hesitant about the ~86.000 investement into making the two fireballs into RoDs is that what you actually get on avarage is +1 damage.

3+X to 5+X = X+4
3+X to 7+X = X+5

A second Breath would sound great if they weren't hell'a expensive, but it sounds a likely route..

Other views?

If you want to really take advantage of the armors Dragon Breath is the way to go.
Drowning is also a great card to soften up the main opponent's character.

Not really.

You're splitting the damage from your fireballs across two spells when you think of it like this.  You might get an average of an extra damage, but you're more likely to deal more damage with 2 Rain of Deaths than 2 Fireballs and a Rain of Death.

Thanks for all the great feedback! It's been quite useful! Updating and asking for advice again after a small round of investment.

Decklist now:

1X[card]Archmage Anryena[/card]
1X[card]Prophet [/card]
1X[card]Aerouant the Crystalomancer[/card]

1X[card]Lightning Bolts[/card] (AoE)
2X[card]Rain of death[/card]
3X[card]Burn in hell[/card]
2X[card]Armor Invocation[/card]
3X[card]Dragon Armor[/card]
1X[card]Draconian Scepter[/card]
2X[card]The Dragon's Breath[/card]
3X[card]Than the Sword[/card]
1X[card]Reborn[/card]
1X[card]Mentalism[/card]
1X[card]Astral Projection[/card]

"Sideboard" (sellable/main-deck-able):  1X[card]Crystal Storm[/card], 1X[card]breaker[/card], 1X[card]Mirage[/card], 2X[card]Mentalism[/card], 1X[card]Freeze![/card], 2X[card]Luminosity[/card], 2X[card]Illumination[/card]

70.000 to spend still.

What to put it in? Third breath? Fireball to eventually make third RoD?  The Crystal Storm + Illumination trick might be cute if I replace the than-the-swords. Other ideas?

The deck is doing admirably against all but legendary-studded toys I'm fine with losing to with one exception - Discard. Thinking of going to 2 or 3 mentalisms to win me that extra blasting round. Other solutions within my price-range?
