Traft on Traft: Janky Sundial Version

Modern

WacoCatbox


Sideboard


UPDATE: 3-1 FMN! Lost to a Maze's End deck, mostly to it's Supreme Verdict - so uncounterable :( Any sideboard ideas? I had lots of solutions to problems that deck never produced...like creatures. Other games, the deck worked as advertised and when it didn't, it seemed to have enough control to mana cast Sovereigns of Lost Alara and kill with Eldrazi Conscription

Hey everybody!
As soon as I saw the Invocation of Saint Traft . I laughed when I thought of enchanting Geist of Saint Traft with it. Then I got to thinking about it's stacking ability, I sobered up and decided to make it happen.
Rattlechains? Topplegeists? SPIRITS ARE THE NEW ELDRAZI! ...ok maybe not but this looks promising. Lemme know what you think! Decided on a "aura toolbox' appraoch and removed the Drogskol Captain to do it. Not sure if it's wise to get rid of him though.

EDIT: Added some interaction. Still in draft state and testing. Advice much appreciated! The strategy:
Turn 1: Topplegeist (meh whatevs)
Turn 2: Tallowisp (or Remand)
Turn 3: Geist of Saint Traft then grab Spirit Mantle (or if no geists of the Traft variety have shown to the party use Call to the Kindred)
Turn 4: Topplegeist tap their creature, grab a Pariah from bringing out the 1CMC spirit and use the rest to cast Pariah enabling the defensive wall. The rest is offensive auras like Prison Term or sift through the deck with Call of the Kindred. Get the Sovereigns of Lost Alara then cheat out the Eldrazi Conscription GAME.

NOTE: Cute Johnny Synergies (CGS):Geist of Saint Traft + Sundial of the Infinite is the favorite combo. It lets you get the angel and keep the angel if you activate the sundial at the end of combat step when the exile goes on the stack. Ideas Unbound + Sundial of the Infinite works similarly to avoid discarding 3 cards. Just activate the sundial on the end step when the discard goes on the stack. Otherworldly Journey + Sundial of the Infinite is a wonderful way to have a card be both defensive and offensive. Activate sundial at the end step on your turn after using otherworldy journey on an opponents creature to keep it gone for good or just use it on a Topplegeist to have a 2/2 with flying that just tapped another creature after blinking back on their turn. Ideas Unbound can also help fill the delirium requirement for the Topplegeist if you actually discard cards (we have artifacts, sorceries, land, enchantments, instants, and creatures available)
Note: When abusing the Sovereigns of Lost Alara + Geist of Saint Traft combo, that Geist of Saint Traft does, in fact, attack alone for the exalted regardless of the angel.
