Deck Help forum

One of these is going to be in my spirit deck, but i can't decide which is better. At the moment i'm leaning towards the Stormbound Geist over the Latch Seeker . Help Please.
It's pretty close, though I would actually agree and lean towards Stormbound Geist
Flying vs Unblockable - Unblockable is certainly better, but it's not hugely better. Flying will be unblockable in a lot of games.
Stormbound Geist can only block creatures with flying. A strict drawback, and one that shouldn't be taken lightly. A 3/1 can trade up quite well when needed.
2/2 vs 3/1. The 1 toughness dies to more removal, but as evasive creatures it's pretty much just their power that matters.
Undying is what makes me give a nod to Stormbound Geist in the end. Having your opponent need to use 2 removal spells to kill this brings a dynamic that Latch Seeker just doesn't have. You're running a Lingering Souls deck, and folks will want to bring in things like Pyroclasm , Electrickery or other similiar effects. Latch Seeker dies with all the rest of your creatures while Stormbound Geist comes back for more.

Thanks guys, and i'm still gonna go with the Stormbound Geist . I was thinking about the same things you were Slycne. It has flying which makes it almost unblockable and it has undying.

Latch seeker. Extra power makes a difference along with unblockable.
