White/blue Spirits Tempo
This is a slight variation on the competitive U/W Spirits deck that focuses on more on defense and control while maintaining its usual tempo feel and operating almost entirely in instant speed.
Control the opponent with
Detention Sphere
,
Spell Queller
,
Supreme Verdict
,
Azorius Charm
,
Mausoleum Wanderer
, and
Path to Exile
.
Put up
Wall of Reverence
together with
Selfless Spirit
, and
Kami of False Hope
to ensure the ultimate defense.
Keep creatures on the field from removal using
Drogskol Captain
,
Rattlechains
,
Unsettled Mariner
, and
Kira, Great Glass-Spinner
.
Combos
Selfless Spirit + Supreme Verdict
to destroy all creatures while leaving your side untouched.
Aether Vial + Phantasmal Image
to create a copy of whatever is already on the battlefield at instant speed. The best value is targeting
Spell Queller
or
Drogskol Captain
(which can give all your spirits hexpoof as early as turn 3!).
This is a very defensive deck that has an answer for nearly every strategy.
Sideboard
Azorius Charm
for various utility, like card draw, lifegain, and more spot removal. Comes in handy often.
Detention Sphere
is a great card against many strategies, such as against Planeswalkers, artifacts, and enchantments. It also destroys token decks.
Eidolon of Rhetoric
to combat storm and other spellslinger decks.
Remorseful Cleric
for graveyard based decks, which are quite popular in the meta right now. It can also be quite the beater too.
Supreme Verdict
for creature based decks and combos great with
Selfless Spirit
.
Ceremonious Rejection
because eldrazi, artifacts, and tron suck.
Wall of Reverence
mostly to counter burn strategies. The lifegain is great and it's a great spirit wall.
Condemn
because I don't have a 4th copy of
Path to Exile
.
Any suggestions for improvement are welcome, encouraged, and appreciated!
