WB Norn-Sheoldred Anti-Spirit

Deck Help forum

Seeing the recent jump in Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite's value and realizing her (its?) potential for helping and countering Innistrad-block Spirit decks, I've decided I want to rework my Praetoric Obliteration deck. It was originally designed as a casual deck built around the white and black praetors (Norn and Sheoldred, Whispering One, built mostly for flavour and not really optimized at all. (The decklist has been modified since I put it up on the site months ago.) Two friends in my playgroup have Spirit decks right now, and I see great potential to rework this deck to counter theirs.

So basically, I'm looking for...- ways to get either Praetor out quickly (need to add some Quicksilver Amulets to this end)- mana ramping in white-black (hence Mycosynth Wellspring, but I'm lacking prompts to sacrifice artifacts)- the Phyrexian flavour to be kept (hence the Praetors and other spells named for them, Phyrexian Obliterator , etc)- effective ways to deal with the common Spirit archetypal cards

Any suggestions? Is anyone else using Norn (or even Sheoldred) to counter those pesky Spirits?

Good ol' Unburial Rites could be your friend here, along with perhaps Liliana of the Veil to put your Praetors in the bin, unless you want to splash blue for all the wonderful discard spells.
