This is meant to function similar to Caw-blade.

Doomed Traveler is our "Caw" in a way. He comes out for 1 which is great, when he dies he produces a 1/1 spirit with flying. Then with moorland haunt on the field I get another spirit. 3 for the price of one! Ring any bells? I can also chump block on your turn get a spirit and swing on my turn with a sword equipped. Flat out amazing! He gets better and better every time I play this deck.

Snapcaster Mage gives me more control in a lot of cases

Midnight Haunting instant speed 2 flyers. Beautiful for carrying a blade

Consecrated Sphinx Amazing card draw and a capable sword carrier as well. Not very nice to play against.

Sword of War and Peace I went with this because its a little more aggressive.

Sword of Feast and Famine Amazing in general.

various counter spells draw spells etc. giving me control throughout the game.

Recent Updates:

3/3/12

Took out 2x Doomed Traveler for 2x Delver of Secrets  . Found that the traveler could stay on the field for a long time but was too slow in general. Delver should speed things up, but with a couple travelers to ensure that I have a blade carrier

Took out 1x Oblivion Ring and 1x Sword of War and Peace for 2x Geist of Saint Traft. Found that it also helped to speed things up a bit and is a great sword carrier himself.

3/25/12

Replaced Midnight Haunting with Lingering Souls

Took out the last remaining Oblivion Ring for another Lingering Souls.

Reversed the numbers for Ponder and Think Twice

5/16/12

Replaced 2x Doomed Traveler for 1x Delver of Secrets   and 1x Geist of Saint Traft
