This started out as a deck full of Spooky Bois that I put together for Halloween, starting from the bones of a BW Athreos deck (also spirits tribal). Over time I've cut out a lot of the goodstuff and replaced it with spooky stuff. I also tried to add a bunch of sweet 2-drop spirits, to make the deck a little more lively in the early game.

The primary wincons are Myojin + Kindred Boon , which can produce a soft lock. The spirits themselves have the chance to get big (with equipment, Door of Destinies , Lords, and maybe Cathars' Crusade ), but in most games they're insubstantial.
