Sky Spirit is pretty much a multicolor variant of Thunder Spirit who was also very useful back in the old days. Consistency should be kept as concentrated as possible because when you've got a sparse amount of a certain design, a design that's important to the concept, getting that design in your hand and out onto the battlefield is a high priority. I personally enjoy decks with many two-of's myself. I love the diversity there, but the advice I'm giving it based on it be as efficient as possible.

What I meant was, there isn't a significant amount of Tallowisp . It appears to be one of the centerpieces to the deck concept. You're going to want four of them as a top priority above most every other creature. All I'm saying is that it's disrupting the flow of the cards, which is strongest when you've got a concentrated base of any given design.

Celestial Crusader is really just a design I threw in based on appeal. It does cool things, it looks cool, it looks powerful, but it's still rather expensive. The elevated cost can spike up the mana curve and cause problems. I'd go with Plumeveil over it any day. And I'd go with Wall of Denial over Wall of Reverence . The two extra defense plus shroud is unbeatable. You can gain life from unblockable life-gainers. That's why I recommended Steel of the Godhead . I've recently compared the two myself for a deck of my own. The extra +1/+1 and lifelink is seriously significant. Not to mention, Swans of Bryn Argoll pairs up with it perfectly! And that's a better creature choice than most all of them offensively.

I personally like Lantern Kami a lot more than Doomed Traveler , I would use Kami over Traveler despite the power loss for flavor appeal. You should go with four of one or the other to keep it consistent. Since Traveler only creates a token, you'll never be able to get it back with Angel of Flight Alabaster . Another good reason to go with Lantern Kami. And also, a good idea to increase the number of those angels because that's a useful and powerful effect with Tallowisp .

It's going to be hard to narrow this down, but you'll want to keep it to sixty cards at most.

I'll see what I can come up with and let you know later.

Yes, I know plenty about consistency... lol.
I just haven't made any further changes since I want to be sure what I'm doing before I go out and get some more singles of cards. Also, remember that I started this deck from a precon. Haha

Anyway, I said a few posts ago that I was thinking I should add another Tallowisp . I myself wasn't sure if I should add one or two though.

The reason I brought up Wall of Reverence was because he is a spirit, and can gain +1/+1 and hexproof from Drogskol Captain ... not to mention his own ability. I wasn't saying it as a replacement for Wall of Denial , I was saying it could be another wall instead of two copies of Wall of Denial.

Although Steel of the Godhead is an awesome card (I really did think about putting it in), there are a few reasons why I like Spirit Mantle more:     1. It makes my creature untargetable against my opponent's creatures as well as making it unblockable.     2. It doesn't have to be blue to be unblockable.     3. The casting cost is lower (I know it is only by 1, but when you have only 4 mana available with 2 of it used on Spirit Mantle and a Negate / Essence Scatter in your hand...).     4. I have other enchantments that can give my creature Lifelink, because having more than one enchantment on a creature is perfectly fine... Auramancer's Guise .  That + Spirit Mantle + Daybreak Coronet = +10/+10, lifelink, first strike, protection from creatures and vigilance. Just throw Robe of Mirrors on (if Drogskol Captain isnt out yet), and they get +2/+2 more and Shroud. That's a nasty creature that can only be dealt with by making me sacrifice creatures or wiping the board of all creatures, which I can recover fairly quickly from.

Now, I've given this a lot of thought as well. Even though Doomed Traveler is two creatures in a sense, it's just better to have the 1/1 flier out instead. And yes, it isnt a spirit either. I agree, I will be swapping those for two more Lantern Kami .


Rethink has been problematic for me lately. I've noticed when I want to cast it that they seem to have the extra mana available, so I've swapped them for Essence Scatter .

Other than the changes on those counter-type spells, I plan on switching the 2 Doomed Traveler s out for 2 more Lantern Kami , the 2 Spectral Rider s for 1 more Tallowisp and 1 more Sky Spirit ... and the 2 Gallows Warden s for 1 more Deep-Sea Kraken and 1 more Wall of Denial I'm thinking.

I'll edit the deck on the first page to show what I'm planning to make it look like. Then you can give me more criticism. Lol



Thanks again for your input!
