W/U Standard Spirit Deck: Full of (mostly) low cost fliers, counterspells, and removal, this deck strives to win the game against your opponent through means of boardwiping and flying attackers. Saving mana and playing cards during your opponent's turn is key!

Counters: Show

Mausoleum Wanderer is a great curve-stopper and a solid one drop. It even powers up when another spirit comes into play!

Revolutionary Rebuff counters most spells for only two mana! Make sure your opponent doesn't have two or more lands remaining when you play it though.

Spell Queller exiles any spell with four or less mana and even gives you a 2/3 flier for only three mana! Don't let it die though or that spell will return!

These cards eliminate threats before they hit the field! They are especially useful when the opponent plays to their mana curve.

Removal: Show

Declaration in Stone and Stasis Snare exile annoying indestructibles and remove those strong creatures! Stasis Snare is especially useful on the opponent's turn because of its Flash!

Fumigate is this deck's boardwipe and works wonders against aggro decks. Extra healing to top it off wins close games!

Reflector Mage returns a creature to your opponent's hand and gives them a useless card (or more if you're lucky!) for one turn.

If a creature hits the board and you somehow didn't manage to counter it, there are still many options to remove that pesky card!

Card Draw: Show

Anticipate is a key card that allows you to add one of the top three cards of your deck to your hand. Play it on your opponent's turn if you have leftover mana!

Dovin Baan draws a card and restores two life for the great value of only -1!

If you end up drawing only lands, this deck thankfully has a bit of card draw to save that game!

Creature Protection: Show

Archangel Avacyn   flashes in to protect all your other creatures! Don't forget that she has a three damage boardwipe when one of your creatures dies!

Rattlechains protects that Spell Queller or other spirit from nasty removal spells with Hexproof! It also makes every spirit gain Flash. Can't get much better than that for only two mana.

Selfless Spirit really shines in protecting all your creatures with two Fumigate and four Archangel Avacyn   in this deck! Boardwipe your opponent and keep all of your creatures!

Spirits may synergize well with each other, but most of your creatures have low toughness values. Utilize these protective cards to aid your spirits!

Sideboard: Show

Always Watching is a useful +1/+1 buff card in general and provides some support against aggro decks through your creatures gaining Vigilance. Since 12 spirits in the deck have 1 toughness, it is a great addition against decks that are running Liliana, the Last Hope.

Authority of the Consulate helps against aggro decks and is a great way to gain life.

Essence Flux protects your creatures, gives spirits an extra +1/+1, and allows some spirits to replay their abilities. Use if the opponent is targeting your spirits with spells.

Reflector Mage = less creatures for opponent. Side two more in case you need a bit more removal.

Void Shatter costs one more mana than Revolutionary Rebuff , but is useful as a general counter, especially if the opponent is running lots of Artifact spells.

Combos: Show

Boardwipe, but keep your creatures! Fumigate + Selfless Spirit

Don't forget that Archangel Avacyn   triggers with Selfless Spirit and Mausoleum Wanderer !

Alternate Useful Cards: Show

Nebelgast Herald , Niblis of Frost, Pressure Point , and Select for Inspection work with Authority of the Consulate and Dovin Baan for a tap-control version of the deck and can also serve as replacements for any missing cards.

If you want a bit more card draw, replace 2 Archangel Avacyn   with 2 Bygone Bishop.
