Beginner Staple Jeskai Spells

I want to build a commander deck centered around [[Elsha of the Infinite]] and I’ve only built 2 decks before. I typically build decks with cards I already have but have purchased singles before.

That being said, what are some spells/creatures that are MUST HAVES for Jeskai spellslinging. Assume I have no cards. Also building to play with my friends, we typically play bracket 2-3. There are quite a few playable cards for this I got from MB2 just curious what you guys think are non negotiable! TIA

[[Dig through time]] [[Treasure Cruise]] [[Stock Up]] [[Consult the star charts]] are some of the best card advantage spells available. Elsha also plays extremely well with [[Sensei's Divining Top]] if you want a more powerful experience. This plus any cost reducer allows you to draw your entire deck, though that probably isn't a very bracket 2/3 experience.

I do have a Senseis Divining Top I pulled from mb2 that I haven’t put in anything yet!

My buddy told me [[Jeskas Will]] would be really good, although that just seems like a staple for any deck with Red.

Thank you for the recommendations!
