I'm hoping to concentrate this decks intensity, as I've only been playing for the past month and this is currently my second deck build ever. It's supposed to be a bit aggro in it's approach, being less about control and more about shitting out spirit tokens, buffing them for days, and potentially giving them vigilance, hexproof, deathtouch and lifelink, effectively "spooking" the enemy into submission.

Drogskol Captain and Geist of Saint Traft are my best three drops that really pack a punch in this deck, even if I don't somehow get the right color mana, if I have AEther Vial out and I have either of these two in my hand, then I can put it out at the right moment.

Kami of False Hope and Kira, Great Glass-Spinner are the only cards that offer some kind of control, and when I'm going up against ridiculous black green or green red mana ramp up decks with hydras everywhere and other potentially massive beefy creatures, having Kami as a one drop is a god send.

Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver was put into this deck knowing that the group of friends I play with primarily carry around ridiculous decks that allow them to pay 4 for Emrakul, the Aeons Torn with Quicksilver Amulet and other special lands, and it allows me to potentially exile and control those stupidly broken beasts. I regularly play against this ridiculous deck, which was made by my good friend/roommate DMJ654. It's probably not the best deck to play against with this style as he has the ability to turn 4 win if he gets the right cards out, but I get bored, so I voluntarily let him rub salt in my continually reopened wounds.

Coat of Arms was central to my deck idea, as I have a good likelihood of pulling buffs and land before I draw/use this card, and it really shows when you're swinging 4 flying spirit tokens for 20 at least by turn 5 if you play the cards right. Since it buff everything, suddenly even one drops look terrifying if you don't have an answer to Coat of Arms.
