Geist of saint traft obviously, but budget can be a problem with that one i know.
We built a spare of the moment spirits deck for a friend and it turned out to be the most consistant deck i have ever seen in standard. The key came from a common. {niblis of the urn}, it's tap ability keeps the oppoent from blocking your already evasive creatures and gets your traft through if needed.

Yea Traft is too expensive and yes I am on budget. 😁 But the {Niblis of the Urn} I was thinking about. But I'm not sure what to replace.

Feind hunter and murder dont really fit.

I removed them and added some more. But still looking at what to replace for Urn if I use it. I'm not sure Urn would be very good in this deck bc I'm focus on token producing.

It looks like its halfway between tokens and flyover, i think you need to decide which one you want. Delver is not a token or a spirit.

I have delver for speed burst. And delver is good by himself really.

Then why not lean toward flyover with four favorable winds.

You are very bold to be playing spirits still!

{thundermaw hellkite} is the only real reason not to play spirits. If you have the right cards it's a very competitive deck.

Ratchet only hits the tokens which you should only have two or three in play at a time, black sun doesnt keep up with the speed of a good spirit deck, and bonfire...does hurt but is expensive enough that most people dont have to plan around it. I kinda wish i could say that about my local shop.

If you remember anything, remember this. There will ALWAYS be answers to your solutions. And there will always be answers to those answers.

The group of guys a play with at FNM don't play with these cards. In fact, I hardly see anyone playing red or black. I think this deck will do great against my group.

Well if thats the case i highly recomend flyover so you dont get ratched bombed as easily.
