I like using Curiosity with spirits because they all have flying. Also, I love how spirits are good now. :D

i'm not so sure that you need the Saving Grasps and Curiosity maybe counter spells?

If you plan on using Saving Grasp on a lot of stuff take out the Moorland Haunt. For Moorland Haunt to be useful you creatures have to die. Take out the grasps and put in some counter spells. Also, Geist of Saint Traft is good in any U/W deck, 2-3 copies could be effective.

Ok so the Saving Grasps don't work. I've replaced them with 4 Mana Leak. what do you think?

Use Faith's Shield in your sideboard instead of Stave Off. They cost the same to play, but Faith's Shield targets permanents, not just creatures, and can save you if you're low on life.

no Geist of Saint Traft because he's weak in this deck. I'm looking for synergies from more than just one card.

Love the deck +1 and +1 for my Blink deck if you like it! Great deck man keep it up

If this deck is about spirits, where's Lingering Souls?.. I think it's easy to splash some black (maybe 1 swamp) in for the flashback cost thanks to Evolving Wilds being in standard again. Also.. let's just say it straight.. I have played t2 now with a Spirit deck and Geist of Saint Traft has definitely been one of my MVP's of the main deck when Drogskol Captain is around. When using images to copy captains, it makes Saint Traft himself very hard to deal with.. and "oh, that angel's there too! Bah!" You should make him a sideboard card.
Oh, one thing left! I prefer Vapor Snag over Faith's Shield.
What comes to the sideboard itself.. it makes no sense. Why tower geist? Why Curiosity? Why DOJ? .. I think sideboard needs to be more like a toolbox for jamming other decks in your meta. Not just filler cards which doesn't fit with the main deck. Thumbs down.

You may want some Dissipates as well. It's a useful card in almost every blue deck.
@SLD Vapor Snag is more of a sideboard card here. The two Niblis cards and Dungeon Geists provide plenty of creature control.

Lingering Souls is an amazing card but this is not a limited deck so I didn't want to mess with it like that for one card. Also wouldn't it be better to splash black with a Isolated Chapel or a Drowned Catacombs as then I could use the mana right away rather than waiting a turn.
Like I mentioned before, I don't run any Geist of Saint Trafts because he's weak in this deck.
I had Vapor Snag in the side board before but people didn't like it lol. I should kept to my gut feeling. I like it.
I've added 1 Dissipate.

Not worth it. They serve the same purpose as Drogskol Captain, but he does it better, especially when Phantasmal Image copies him.

As for Lingering Souls, I'd say run it in your side instead of Midnight Haunting, since they're basically the same card except for the flashback. Not sure how the mana would work out, but if you can fit black in, you definitely should make that switch.

How about Lingering Souls and 4 Isolated Chapels to support them.
February 20, 2012 1:42 p.m.
Sounds good. You may want to do some play testing to see if Isolated Chapels, Drowned Catacombs, or a mix of both would work best.

But where's the SOM-duals? If you want to splash some black in, why not use Darkslick Shores.. They are somewhat better than Drowned Catacomb and the early game is the most important thing in any deck. Blue is also your stronger color here so that's why I say that.
And what still comes to Vapor Snag.. They're very useful even when you use them at your own creature like Dungeon Geists. It's just a good insurance if your creature taplock is going to get destroyed or killed some other way. Also, if you want to change your target of Dungeon Geists, then 2UUU+1life isn't a bad trade if you don't have Phantasmal Image in your hand..

I have a lot of suggestions and so much to say, but alas I'm on my phone so it would take too long to type. Just a quicky, skillful lunge and Saving grasp do not belong in this deck. And with all of your fattie creatures, you have no early game. Look into more control cards?
Here's my blue white spirit deck, it might help with some ideas.
