Drop all the non-spirits.  Run 4 {stormbound Geist} those things are going to be a force to be reckoned with.  Dump the {voiceless spirit} as well, it is too vanilla.  Drop the {spectral rider} unless your meta does not run too much white.

Updated. No, they usually play dark or blue in standard, I can always side it if they are white. Actually, white is the least played color in standard in my place, maybe just little more than red... I let some 1 cmc to quick drops, do you think I should kick them all out too? Specially signal pest, I'm trying to be a little aggro here

What about {lingering souls} and {midnight haunting}? Even if you aren't flashing back the lingering souls it's still not a bad cast for 3

{Lingering Souls} is soooo good!!! =D :  3WB  ---  Put 4 1/1 Spirits with flying onto the battlefield.
Are you kidding me?? So ridiculous!

Lol, no actually, I love {Midnight Haunting}, pay 1 less to do it twice? Seems pretty good, throw {Drogskol Captain} into the mix and you have an instant army! I'm using {Drowned Catacomb}s for the black splash, depending on your dominant color, either the Catacombs or {Isolated Chapel} will do. The black splash you need isn't necessary, and when you draw into it, bam! pay 2 and you have 2 1/1 Fliers. Your running 3 {Moorland Haunt}s and a lot more creatures, so I don't think it's necessary. I have a low creature count though, so they work super nice.

Any thoughts? This is a pretty expensive deck, I want to be sure about it before spending on it

I don't wanna brag, but my spirit deck runs extremely well. I posted it on here for you. I haven't started running {Stormbound Geist} yet. But have a gander and see what you think.

{Call to the Kindred} is fun but doesn't run as well as you'd think in Standard.

In my play testing it is running good when I put on a hex proof dude. I'll take a look at yours, what's the name of the deck you posted?
