Spirit deck! Thoughts?

Standard Deck Help forum

I never thought I'd get back in to Standard, but the possibility of playing a tribal tempo deck has me intrigued. I've thrown together a preliminary list, but I'm not at all familiar with the standard metagame (beyond "G/W tokens is really good") and my skills at evaluating cards within the context of Standard have Languished away.

I'd appreciate any advice that might make this deck FNM-ready.

Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet and Gisela need immediate answers with spirits but you are faster than most of the other decks out there actually. Also wipes can be a scary thing for this deck but there is lots of Asian on board wipes so just play carefully.

Good point on Kalitas and Gisela. I'll consider possible answers for them. Stasis Snare, perhaps.

"... there is lots of Asian on board wipes"? Huh? On a phone with autocorrect, there?

In any case, Eerie Interlude could help against sweepers. They can also be Negated.

Haha byes! Lots of evasion on board wipes. Selfless Spirit comes to mind and Eerie Interlude from the sideboard if you are playing against Languish. Invasive Surgery is also good against the sweepers.

Stasis Snare is good against Kalitas and Gisela, but since they are not hastey creatures I almost prefer Declaration in Stone since they are permanently answered.

True, Selfless Spirit doesn't do anything against Languish. Maybe I'll put in another Interlude.
