Hey thanks again for your comments on my primer :)

A few suggestions I have:

1. Replace 2 mana enablers with weak/no abilities (such as Dimir Infiltrator and Gurmag Swiftwing) with 1 mana enablers (like Gudul Lurker) or stronger 2 mana enablers (i.e., Baleful Strix, Augury Owl).

2. Replace 3 mana ramp (like Basalt Monolith, Dimir Locket) with 2 mana ramp (i.e., Dimir Signet or Talisman of Dominance).

3. Soft permission spells such as Spell Pierce and Mana Leak are usually weak in budget/lower-powered pods because the games go longer. Some potential replacements could be Misdirection, Drown in the Loch.

4. Cancel, Murder, Hero's Downfall, Perplex, Connive / Concoct and Rite of Undoing seem quite weak to me. Some budget-friendly cards I like that you might want to play are Curtains' Call, Portent, Far / Away, Discovery / Dispersal, Submerge, and Murderous Cut.

Good luck in your tournament!

Oh ye it's def a tricky son of a gun with Oathbreaker. I tried to stay away from too many targeting Instants that provide little tob no value if the Main Man isn't on the field to do his thing.

I'd stay away from Mutate personally just cuz the whole point is to get value from mutating your target creature. Otherwise you're just paying more mana for a new creature that doesn't impact the board all that much.

The other thing is that the payoff for Oathbreaker and his spirit army phasing back in isn't worth enough to be the main build-around. My whole idea was to essentially have the ability to protect powerful Spirits at any point while accruing advantage from these "protection" spells.

Curtains' Call is a prime example of this. With Oathbreaker it turns from just "destroy two creatures" to something way more flexible. I can not only kill two of my opponent's creatures, but I can also either kill an enemy creature and protect a Spirit or protect two Spirits at once.

Wretched Confluence is another example of this unique modality.

The whole deck is like having a toolbox of quirky tricks that can simultaneously be offensive or defensive depending on the situation. Focusing too hard on cards like Remedy kinda railroads you too much into just having "do-nothing" protection spells.

Likewise, targeting sorceries, Auras and Aura creatures without flash, and Mutate creatures are rendered useless because of how slow they are. You want your protection to be on standby at all times, and you don't actively want to phase out your Spirits if there's no immediate threat. Otherwise you just leave yourself open for a single, tapped, 1/1 Spirit.

Curtains' Call is good removal too. Everything he or she said is very good. You could swap alot of your removal package with what he said. Leaving in Snuff Out.

Blade of the Oni, Dream Devourer, Gibbering Fiend, Rakdos Firewheeler, Rakdos Headliner, Spear Spewer, Thermo-Alchemist, Witty Roastmaster, and Kardur's Vicious Return are not very good imo.

Scourge of the Skyclaves is just an expensive combo with Wound Reflection. Havoc Festival is slightly cheaper and better in most situations, especially in chaos.

Syphon Mind is better than Blightning. Banefire is better than Demonfire. Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip is better than Demonic Gifts. Curtains' Call is better than Murder. Baleful Mastery is better than Doom Blade.
