I like it, +1.

Soulsworn Spirit doesn't seem like value for mana to me.

I really like the idea of esper spirits! Nice call! I have a couple of suggestions you should consider though:

Lets remove azorious herald, 1 dimir infiltrator, latchseeker, souls of the fiat-less, soulsworn spirit and spirit en-dal, as well as arrest, sanguine bond, oring (maybe) and spirit loop. I know this sounds like a lot, but I am an esper spirit lover myself and would like to make a few comments. These are 30 cards.

4 Dungeon Geists

4 Delver of Secrets  Flip

2 Gods Willing

4 Mana Leak

4 Gitaxian Probe

4 Lingering Souls

2 Doom Blade

4 Midnight Haunting

2 Runechanter's Pike

This build will give you more explosiveness and resilience. I vote for Dungeon Geists as the best spirit ever. Runechanter's pike and flying creatures are BFFs for life!

Thank you for the great suggestion! I like very much the ideas you gave me with those cards, but I want to keep the main combo of this deck, my creatures must be unblockable.. so I think i'll keep them :) I also think that in future I will create for sure another deck with the spirits you suggested! I really like Dungeon Geists and the Delver of Secrets  Flip .. they will find place! thank you again! :D

-1x Arrest , -1x Oblivion Ring , -1x Sanguine Bond +3x Lingering Souls

-2x Spirit en-Dal +2x Spirit of the Labyrinth

-2x Hunted Phantasm +2x Tallowisp

-2x Latch Seeker +2x Mirror Entity

-2x Souls of the Faultless +2x Doom Blade

-1x Souls of the Faultless +1x Dungeon Geists

-1x Souls of the Faultless +1x Windborn Muse

-1x Dimir Infiltrator +1x Dimir Cutpurse

That is my suggestions to give your deck more speed, control and synergy. I hope you like the suggestions! You'll come to find all these additions are VERY cheap too! I like Souls of the Faultless , but it slows this deck down and Sanguine Bond as a one of isn't reliable enough to "abuse" and be a game changer when it comes down to it. Otherwise man, pretty dang good! I can't wait to see what other decks you post, check out some of my new ones I've been putting up!

I like your suggestions very, very much! I'm thinking about adding some spirit that isn't only unblockable and have also some nice ability, and these you wrote are pretty good. In these days I'll modify this deck with those cards! And sure, I'll check your decks asap!

I'm glad you liked them! I can't wait to see the deck evolve!

Arcane Sanctum instead of guildgates for all Esper colors

Nice! But I can't get them now.. I'll try to put them soon :) thanks for the comment!

If you are going for the unblockable thing, Tormented Soul could let you start turn one.

Javaz says... #11

Yeah, I've thought about it.. Maybe I'll put a pair of these, it will make this deck a bit more aggressive. Thank you for the suggestion!

I think that in 99% of cases flying is equal to unblockable. I mean unblockability is overcosted as hell. Latch seeker vs delver of secrets - same three power, just as evasive, comes down earlier. I see no real advantage to unblockability.

Javaz says... #13

Yeah but here where I play there are a lot of guys with decks full of creatures with flying or reach. I wanted to create a aggro deck "universally" unblockable. I know that many of the spirits with flying are very strong and have great abilities, but I want to keep my original idea for this deck! Attack each turn without risk of getting blocked. :)

theJAMAAAL says... #14

Original and seems like lot of fun :) +1 from me, and let me add my suggestion : Ghastlord of Fugue Although its 5cmc maybe you find some way to put him there maybe not. But from my own experience, it's huge threat for opponent and decent finisher. Cheers !

Javaz says... #15

It's a great creature, but unfortunately it's not available in near stores :/ if I'll find it, I'll add for sure! Thanks for the suggestion and the +1! :D

Unless you have a shop nearby with great selection in stock 24/7, buying online is the way to go. Load your money on a Walmart card or open a Paypal account and you get great deals online. I have never had a problem with Ebay and I get the best deals from there. I also have a CoolStuffInc account that has the highest discount on singles you can achieve, 15%. I support local shops and buy what I want from them, if they have it. After that, I jump online and purchase the rest.

I've ordered this whole deck online on magic corner! Only for 16 .. Now I'll make another order to buy the planeswalkers and the other cards I added.. And maybe I'll get a Drogskol Reaver and Sovereigns of Lost Alara !

JKhalifer says... #18

Sovereigns of Lost Alara is such a flavorful card. :)

June 18, 2014 8:44 a.m.

Javaz says... #19

Yeah I'm in love with it :) I'm only not sure about the Drogskol Reaver .. It's good but it's 7 CMC.. heavy in my deck.. But if I enchant it with Spirit Loop it's just incredible.. 12 life and 4 draws..

Run something to make your creature spells cost less? Like Stormscape Familiar , Sunscape Familiar , Helm of Awakening , Mistform Warchief , Warden of Evos Isle , Council of the Absolute , Grand Arbiter Augustin IV , Pearl Medallion , Sapphire Medallion , Cloud Key , Semblance Anvil , Urza's Incubator , Urza's Filter , Stone Calendar , or Planar Gate . Those should be most of them, in alphabetical, color and mana cost order. Quicksilver Amulet is also a good way to "pipe" mana-intensive creatures onto the battlefield early.

Hope this helps!

Javaz says... #21

Those are great suggestion! I'll try to see how it works with the new cards, then I'll try to put some of the ones you wrote.. By the way, I added Valor Made Real for Souls of the Faultless !

What do you guys think about Angel of Flight Alabaster in this deck?

July 3, 2014 10:21 p.m.

Javaz says... #23

That's a nice one! I'll think about adding it, thank you for the suggestion! :D

July 4, 2014 4:48 a.m.

JKhalifer says... #24

Angel of Flight Alabaster would be a great one-of in this deck. Check out the new rare Enchantment from M15 called Spirit Bonds. I think you would thoroughly enjoy it in his deck! :)

Seems like you needed a 5 drop.
