I decided to build off of a precon for once, and this is what I have so far:


[Current Version]
Lands:
1x Hallowed Fountain
3x Glacial Fortress
2x Azorius Chancery
7x Island
8x Plains
___
21 total


Enchantments:
2x Robe of Mirrors
4x Spirit Mantle
2x Daybreak Coronet
2x Auramancer's Guise
___
10 total


Spells:
4x Negate
4x Devouring Light
___
8 total


Creatures:
4x Lantern Kami
3x Niblis of the Urn
4x Tallowisp
2x Sky Spirit
4x Drogskol Captain
2x Wall of Denial
2x Geist of Saint Traft
___
21 total - 60 overall


I was thinking of switching Stormbound Geist and Talon Trooper for 2 more Drogskol Captain , also possibly Platinum Angel for Bruna, Light of Alabaster . Changing those angels also lets me switch Spirit Loop for Lifelink .

I want to throw in Yosei, the Morning Star if I'm able to somehow also. I am trying to find spirit replacements for Esper Stormblade and Bant Sureblade as well if anyone knows of anything decent.

I do not have a high budget for this deck, and I run it as casual.

Esper Stormblade and Bant Sureblade can be replaced with two Tallowisp s I'm thinking. Does anyone have any input on the other changes I listed as well? I really want to fit in Yosei if I'm able to.

I wouldn't make the switch with Spirit Loop for Spirit Link Spirit Loop is way better.  If your creatures dies the spirit loop comes back to your hand while spirit link would go to your graveyard if your creature dies.

You might find good results at a budget price in Mausoleum Guard and Favorable Winds .

The former gives you a four drop, the latter gives deck coverage if you remove non-flyers.

Yeah, I agree. I've decided to keep it in. Although Spirit Link is better than Lifelink ... >.>

Two copies of Mausoleum Guard actually came with the pre-construced deck, but I wasnt a huge fan of it. It itself isn't a spirit, and ended up being replaced for Drogskol Captain .


Also, I think I like Sky Hussar more than Ribbons of the Reikai . It can be reused multiple times.


So, I've updated my deck now on the original post. I switched Stormbound Geist and Talon Trooper for 2 more Drogskol Captain Platinum Angel for Bruna, Light of Alabaster , also Esper Stormblade and Bant Sureblade for 2 Tallowisp like I said earlier. I also switched Geist-Honored Monk for Yosei, the Morning Star .

Now, I'm wondering if I should switch my 2 Gallows Warden s with putting back in Geist-Honored Monk and 1 more of either of Niblis of the Urn or Tallowisp . That's about it.


Oh, also, just for confirmation, if Bruna gets Shroud from Robe of Mirrors , can it still gain enchantments from attacking or blocking?

Bump.

I have played a few games with this deck now. I don't want that many of higher casting cost cards for this deck.
So, I've taken out Sky Hussar and Luminous Angel , but I'm wondering what I can switch the 2 Gallows Warden s for. Low cast spirits if possible.
I'm wondering if I should swap them with 1 more Tallowisp , then take out a land or two maybe... or I could try switching them for 2 more Niblis of the Urn , 2 Niblis of the Mist or 2 Voiceless Spirit s

Having shroud will prevent the creature from being targeted by Aura spells, but it does not remove any Auras that are already attached to the creature or stop Auras from being moved to the creature by some other method.

Nevermind then. Found that part out.


So, I figure I will switch those 2 Gallows Warden s with another Tallowisp and Sky Spirit I think. Voiceless Spirit is just a weaker version of Sky Spirit, and Tallowisp seems to be a popular target... although more offense is better, so maybe even just 2 more Sky Spirits. I could also possibly switch Wall of Denial for Wall of Reverence , but I'm not sure. I have yet to draw it in a game anyway.

I can't seem to think of anything else to change in this deck, other than some rare lands or possibly another counter card to swap Rethink for.

I'd get rid of the 2 Sky Spirit , 2 Gallows Warden , the Aven Mimeomancer and the Deep-Sea Kraken . Celestial Crusader is a good replacement. Or three more Wall of Denial . Plumeveil is another notable creature. Swans of Bryn Argoll as well.

I generally recommend that people concentrate their bases. However, it seems the diversity here is itself rather solid. I'm not certain of some of those Aura. Don't know why you're not using Steel of the Godhead , it's almost instant win with any blue-white creature. Angelic Shield isn't an aura, but it's really good. Shield of the Righteous is another good alternative.

The Tallowisp is in the way. If you're trying to build a deck around it, you'll want 4 of them. You could easily part with the Spectral Rider . You don't need something offensive like that with your theme. You need a strong defensive. Once you've built up a strongly enchanted creature, you'll have an offense four times as great without sacrificing your defenses along the way.

What do you think of these suggestions? I recognize those one-of creatures might have some sentimental value to the deck. I used to make decks like that myself, because I'd want to utilize creatures that I felt were interesting and had potential but I'd never used before. If so, you can disregard any suggestions to remove them. Just let me know which ones have sentimental value, if any.

I'm not sure why you're suggesting to take out the Sky Spirit s, they're freaking awesome in here.
Aven Mimeomancer is fun, because it can change my small fries into 3/1 fliers, or change an opponent's fatty to that.
I fully agree though, those Gallows Warden s have to go. Possibly the Deep-Sea Kraken as well. I just thought he was fun in there.


I like Celestial Crusader , especially since every creature in this deck is at least half white, except for the Kraken. That could be the replacement for Gallows Warden. Although it says ALL white creatures, not just ones I control.

Steel of the Godhead seems cool, but I'm pretty content with Spirit Mantle . It not only makes my creature unblockable, it also makes them untargetable against my opponent's creatures if I don't have Drogskol Captain out yet.

I'd like to know why you think Tallowisp is in the way in this deck. I have no draw power other than him, so I think it's really helpful.

Also, I mentioned in my previous post that I have Wall of Reverence that I can fit into this deck... seeing as it is a spirit as well. That could possibly replace the Kraken, but I know that having the Kraken suspended makes my opponent cast spells at a slower rate.

The Spectral Rider s I was also considering switching out, but I'd want some other cheap somewhat offensive spirit like that instead. This is supposed to be a mostly offensive deck afterall.


So, I'm willing to take out Gallows Warden s, Spectral Rider s and Deep-Sea Kraken . I'd just want cards that could fill their slots similarly.


Thanks again for the help!
