A sort of mix between traditional Azorious spirits and Azorious flyers for Pioneer. The idea is to manage the early-game board state with cards like Spell Queller and Rattlechains, get Sephara out as soon as possible, and then figure out the rest from there. Thassa does a lot of work by helping fix our draws, making Sephara unblockable, and potentially becoming a 5/5 indestructible headache. Spectral Sailor can pump Mausoleum Wander if necessary and even becomes a nice late-game mana sink. Lastly, Rally of Wings is the closing go-wide tactic that can lead to explosive turns if it resolves.

Beckon Apparition in the sideboard is probably the most interesting card in the deck. It's something like a Scavenging Ooze for spirits. If we have both our lords out (Eagle and Phantom), we get to gobble up something like an Arclight Phoenix and get a 3/3 flyer on board.
