Notes:
An Esper hybrid of aggro with a hint of midrange with {Obzedat, Ghost Council} and {Restoration Angel} for some longer games.  It's done ok so far.  Needs some work though.  And I'm not sure what to do with the SB 

Oh, and the {Cloudfin Raptor} is just in there for the 1 mana slot.  I still don't know for sure what I want there :P

Add four  {Drogskol Captain}
And four  {Lingering Souls}

Get rid of ethereal armor and cloud fins imo

I'd kind of thought about the captains before.  Granted, now I'm realizing I didn't pull any when I was still buying DKA -_- 
And like I said, the cloudfins are kinda just placeholders :P 

You think run the {Lingering Souls} alongside {Midnight Haunting} or just drop the haunting for the souls?

When I play blue, I like drawing cards. {Sphinx's Revelation} maybe? Something? At least a {Think Twice}? Gimme something.

If anything, it would be revelation.  I've played variations of this with {Think Twice}, {Serum Visions}, and/or {Sphinx's Revelation} and it just seemed like I was playing something underwhelming thinking of what else I could be playing.  I'm not a big fan of drawing in this build.  Maybe a couple {Think Twice} if anything.

And the focus on {U} is a bit low in this.  {Geist of Saint Traft}, {Spectral Flight}, and maybe {Drogskol Captain} and something sideboarded being the only cards using {U}.

Drop the enchanment stuff for more instants and sorcerys or dont add  {Snapcaster Mage} and put in  {Gift of Orzhova} drop 2 spectral and all etheral for 4 gifts then replace  {Knight of Glory} with  {Precinct Captain}?  {Knight of Glory} just doesnt seem good considering the  {Geist of Saint Traft}

I honestly forgot about {Gift of Orzhova} :o. I had originally planned to use those but I didn't have any, then I forgot about them :P

As for {Snapcaster Mage}, I've used him and really he's just a 2/1 with flash for me.  Honestly not worth the $20.

I think I may try another {Obzedat, Ghost Council} though.

Really, the {Knight of Glory}s have done pretty well for me.  I will try {Precinct Captain} and see how he works though.
