Lots of great spirit synergy at our fingertips here. I tried to find ways to get really good value of out Mausoleum Wanderer to be our main answer for instant/sorcery spells, while we mainly deal with creatures by tapping them down with Rush of Ice, Skyline Cascade , and Niblis of Frost. Sheer Drop then becomes a cheeky universal removal spell for 3 mana that can deal with pesky little buggers or giant threats. Dovin Baan fits the tap-down control theme very well, and Torrential Gearhulk because why not, he's got flash, and we have 10 instants to take advantage of. Most of the time, you will probably use him for an Essence Flux to gain more value/etb effects, or the universal counterspell, Scatter to the Winds . You'll also notice that we have plenty of awaken effects throughout the deck for some surprise threats in the late game. Most of the time, our spirits should be able to swing in for flying damage while the enemy creatures stall out and become useless.
