Hi there good deck,i got inspired by it and made a 40usd budget version Yasova wears her cheapest coat, EDH (HELP) . Its far from perfect and is open for improvements but i like to keep it budget:)

Forgotten Ancient is always overpowered in multiplayer, and will add some beef to your commander to enable that steal ability.

Bazaar Trader to put the permanent seal over that temporary steal ability (steal a creature, target it and yourself with this goblin's ability)

I personally think that Dominus of Fealty is tough to play in 3 color decks with that especially since your colour spread favours green.
I'd change that out for Empress Galina She's so underrated but there are ALWAYS legendary targets to pinch in any EDH game.

Also, with so many delicious sac outlets, maybe Threaten, Act of Treason or Mark of Mutiny.. but this might be steal overkill..

The Forgotten Ancient, Bazaar Trader, and Empress Galina are all good ideas. Gonna find some cuts for them. But as far as Act of Treason cards I have cut it down to just Act of Aggression for its 3 mana cost at colorless and instant speed, Harness by Force for its strive ability, and Word of Seizing because it can steal any permanent such as a planeswalker about to go unltimate, it also has Split Second so that helps a lot. I'm actually amazed that I didn't think of Bazaar Trader earlier but I really like that interaction. Thanks for the suggestions.

I just created my own Yasova deck, and I'm eager to try some of the cards you've chosen for yours. An all-star I'm not seeing here is Willbreaker, which--combined with Yasova's triggered ability--grabs opponents' creatures without having to pay the "may" cost of her ability, and it often maintains control of the creature past the end of turn. According to rule 603.5, when Yasova's ability is triggered, the target is chosen as the ability goes on the stack, but the optional cost isn't paid until resolution. Willbreaker's ability triggers as Yasova's target is chosen. Once Willbreaker's resolves, you gain control of the creature for free, and then choose not to pay the 1R/BR/B as Yasova's ability resolves.

Goblin Bombardment + Willbreaker + 1 initial creature sacrifice = board wipe of opponents' non-shrouded/hexproofed creatures, including indestructible ones. Add Fecundity for tons of card draw.

Thanks for the idea I haven't updated the deck since origins. I will look for a spot for Willbreaker.

Meekstone is very strong in my experience with Yasova. Borrow creatures and send them back tapped forever.

Birthing Pod as a very effective sac outlet.

Seeing as you rely on stealing things very heavily, you'll want to have some strong artifact/enchantment removal to deal with protection being given to opponent's creatures. Archetype of Endurance and Glaring Spotlight can help with a lot of the protection in commander, but when they get a commander with Lightning Greaves on it you're done for without a way to remove them.

I would suggest removing a couple of the more expensive Mind Control effects/creatures for some lower cost utility spells like Beast Within and Blasphemous Act and probably Cyclonic Rift

I recommend swapping Den Protector with Champion of Lambholt instead of one creature that can't be blocked by smaller things than it you have all your creatures unblockable by the same effect and it only cost one mana more with a built in counter effect

Also Conjurer's Closet Deadeye Navigator Teferi's Veil and cards of that like make it so you don't have to give the stuff you temporarily steal back
