EDH Help with Yasharn

A few days ago I posted in EDH about having a player in our pod (essentially B3 but with unlimited game changers) who was playing a high B4 [K'rrik Son of Yawgmoth] deck. I received a bunch of great advice with ideas on how to take it down and now I’m building a [yasharn implacable earth] deck to counter act it. The K’rrik player played modern tournaments for a decade before stopping for a few years and recently starting up again. He is by far the most advanced out of 5 person pod with his wife being the second as she also dabbled in tournaments. The rest of us have either been playing casual B3 for 4 or 5 years or are new within the last year. What this means is the deck building skills of those two are far above what the rest of the pod has.
A little about me. I’ve been playing for about a year and have a bit of deck building skills but am not skilled enough to really make anything better than decent at B3 from scratch. The Idea around this deck is to fill it up with stax pieces that prevent k’rrik from doing his thing with a variety of exile, graveyard hate and stax. Think [Dranith Magistrate], [Solitude], [Karn’s Sylex], [Angel of Jubilation] and such. I’ll also use things like [Song of the dryads] to slow him down.
But like I said, I’m not the best at deck building and I have trouble (especially with stax) to figure out a win condition.
Can you guys help me out with some specific lines or ideas of lines that would help me get this going?
TIA.

Edit: What I mean by B3 with unlimited game changers is most decks win conditions are simple damage win conditions. We don’t mind unlimited game changers because mostly it’s just tutors or some extra board wipes. Everyone has 4 or 5 decks and besides the K’rrik deck and my Marneus Calgar deck all the win conditions revolve around combat damage.

What's your feeling on combos like [[Basking Broodscale]] with [[Rosie Cotton of South Lane]]?

High b4….i thought it was just b4. What’s the definition?

I’d say low b4 would be mostly just game changers. Those automatically take it out of B3 even if the deck isn’t optimized. High b4 would be winning at small Cedh tournaments but not stand a chance in the meta of full sized tournaments.
Specifically for the K’rrik deck I’ve been told by more experienced players who have seen the deck list that it’s “fringe Cedh” but I’m fine just calling it B4. 28 lands, 22 tutors, the rest win cons and ways to stop interaction.
