So when I saw Favorable Winds from Avacyn restored it got me thinking...Lingering Souls+Drogskol Captain+Favorable Winds=awesomeness!!!

Also I wanna touch base on why I'm running twice as many Favorable Winds then I am Intangible Virtues. First off the Favorable Winds helps every other creature in my deck and not just my tokens. Second, I decided not to run Snapcaster Mage because I wanted this deck to be very heavy on the aggro, therefore freeing up some two drops for me. Midnight Haunting and Lingering Souls are both three drops and they take the place of your Drogskol Captains in the curve since you usually play them first. Being able to cast them turn three with a Favorable Winds already out on the board lets you play a patience game in regards to when you play your Drogskol Captains. With the right mana you can flash back your Lingering Souls on turn four and still be holding your Drogskol Captain. Turn five can then be either Drogskol Captain+another Favorable Winds or a Drogskol Captain+Phantasmal Image. Most games that's going to be enough to give you the scoop or the lethal damage you need. I'm still running two Intangible Virtues, but they aren't as big of a buff to me with the vigilance as say another spirit deck that isn't running as many token generators as I am.
