My current deck is here:

https://dreamborn.ink/decks/isRL30HYVWodbStD3S78

I'm still relatively new to Lorcana and this deck is the result of feedback I've gotten from my partner and local players. I've been trying to improve it, but I'm struggling to understand whether the deck's core strategy is sound or if I'm trying to force together cards that don't actually belong in the same list.

A couple of important notes:

• This deck is being built with rotation in mind. I'm intentionally only using Set 9+ cards and am not interested in adding cards that will rotate out shortly.
• I know Sail the Azurite Sea breaks that rule. It was one of the few exceptions I made because I needed some form of ramp and card selection while trying to get the deck functional.
• I don't have an unlimited budget. Suggestions like "just buy 3 more Hades" or "play 4 Demona" may be correct, but they're not realistic for me right now.
• My partner and I share a collection, and some cards are already allocated to other decks (including decks currently being built), so I don't always have access to every card in our collection.
• Switching colour combinations isn't really practical right now. Most of the core Ruby/Amber cards are already committed elsewhere, so I'm specifically looking for advice on improving Blue/Purple rather than recommendations to switch decks entirely.
• I might not have access to every card that's suggested, but I greatly appreciate knowing what cards would improve the deck, what they would replace, and why they help. That gives me something to work toward long-term.
• Most of my testing has been against a fairly streamlined Ruby/Amber Toys deck, and that's where I'm having the most trouble.

Against Toys I often feel like I'm close to stabilizing or threatening a win, but I struggle to actually close games out.

What I'm looking for:

• What are the weakest cards in my list?
• Am I trying to do too many different things at once?
• What is the actual win condition of this deck as you see it?
• Are there budget-friendly changes that would improve consistency?
• If you were trying to make this deck competitive into a Toys-heavy local meta, what would you change first?

I'm looking for honest feedback, even if the answer is that the deck needs major restructuring. I'd rather know what's wrong than keep making random card swaps.

Thanks!
