This is an Spirit theme deck, with some help of warrior, faeries and angel tokens, this is what it is supposed to do:

First of all, there we have the synergy with the theme of the deck, we have Door of Destinies, Dictate of Heliod, Spear of Heliod and Cathars' Crusade to pump up our spirits and tokens into grotesque dimension. And then we have cards like Angel of Flight Alabaster, Devouring Greed, Teysa, Orzhov Scion, Drogskol Captain and many others just to cover up the spirits.

Also we have the unexpected Dimir Infiltrator and Ethereal Usher, but they are good cards after all, they let us seek for that Bitterblossom, Luminarch Ascension, Akroma's Vengeance or True Conviction we're so desperate to have in hand. And talking about supportive cards here is Ardent Plea which give us instant access to a random card, but here's the catch!, Bitterblossom, Luminarch Ascension, Demonic Tutor, Path to Exile, and the less impressive but not that bad Nether Traitor have something in common: they are all objectives for the cascade of Ardent Plea.

The mass destruction is a must in this deck, and since we have acces to some fearful sorceries like Merciless Eviction, Wrath of God and the very popular Damnation... Well, hell sure i'm gonna play them!

Obzedat's Aid let us see once more those enchantments and planeswalkers fallen in battle and Debtors' Knell allow to see again our (or others!) creatures to fight back and crush their own makers

One of the weakeness of this deck are the CMC curve (it's very high) and the lack of cards that allow us that draw of cards, but when Oloro, Ageless Ascetic hit the ground that weakness become irrelevant, i mean, this guy simply do what his colors try to do: draw a card, gain life, and loss of life to the opponents; Very "Esperous" if you ask me

Any comment, suggestion or critic is always welcomed!
