This is my crack at a spirit deck for SOI Standard. The idea is to get a bunch of flying spirits out, most with etb effects, and win fairly quickly.
Rattlechains is the most important piece. It gives all spirits flash which allows you to do a lot of playing on my opponents turn and also gives a spirit hexproof to help save them from removal.
Topplegeist provides early pressure with slight control. While delirium is likely not to be achieved quickly, the effect is nice if achieved.
Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit helps to make my spirits bigger threats when attacking and is made better by all of the ways to flicker my creatures.
Uninvited Geist
is just a really great flavor card, that could be problematic if not dealt with and forces an opponent to block them if they are able prior to it flipping.
Reflector Mage is a great tempo card and while not a spirit, I think he fits with what the deck is trying to do. If I can get him out with Mirror Mockery, it proves very problematic for my opponent.
Eldrazi Displacer allows me to flicker all of my spirits or my Reflector Mage to prevent removal, or to trigger their etb effects.
Non-creature spells include:
Declaration in Stone because it is one of the best removal spells in the game.
Essence Flux is great for instant speed exile to prevent removal and trigger an etb effect as well. It also buffs my spirits.
Ojutai's Command is a really flexible card that could put a spirit back on the battlefield, cancel a spell, gain life or provide card advantage.
Mirror Mockery helps with etb effects and because most of my creatures are fliers, they are less likely to be blocked.
Always Watching helps to make my little spirits bigger and better attackers.
Swift Reckoning
provides some more removal, but I am looking for a better replacement at the moment.
As always, thanks in advance for any help/advice!
