Haunt your opponents with swirling streams of endless spirits!

UW Control shell that utilizes Spirits and Flyers to overwhelm your opponent. Let's break it down starting with the creatures...

Geist of Saint Traft - This guy requires no introduction; solid creature with relevant abilities that only gets better while attacking. Although he is a bit on the fragile side, cards like Cryptic Command help to clear the way for a haunting assault.

Snapcaster Mage - Another all-star and a definitive staple in a blue control deck. Snap back your armada of counterspells or get a second use out of Lingering Souls if you're still lacking that black mana. It's also ironic to have that Boomerang come flying back at your opponent again.

Pride of the Clouds - A quirky fellow that you don't really ever see on the Modern scene. Has knuckle-busting synergy with Delver of Secrets  , Geist of Saint Traft, and Lingering Souls. The forecast ability is mostly irrelevant in the fast-paced games of Modern, but it's an additional level of versatility all the same.

Delver of Secrets   - This character made quite the buzz (har har) in Standard and he continues his Legacy in Modern. Plenty of instants and sorceries to set this guy off to start beating down your opponent early. Could be subbed out for the more common Vendilion Clique, but I prefer the one-drop.
