Ghostly Presence

Spirits

Control the battlefield with an army of spirits!

Play fast and strategically with one cost cards like Path to Exile, Serum Visions, Spell Pierce, and Mausoleum Wanderer.

On turn two, ramp it up with cards that can begin to change the game in your favor! Hindering Light, Rattlechains, and Selfless Spirit.

Then, on turn three, you can jump right into the game winning strategy with Geist of Saint Traft or Drogskol Captain.

In the end, your opponent will be overwhelmed by control effects and Flash, Hexproof, and buffed creatures that synergize well with one another.

There's even a cool combo, use Selfless Spirit to cast indestructible on your other creatures and then take out the opponent's army by playing Supreme Verdict! (Indestructible counters destroy effects, leaving your spirits safe and sound to pound your enemies in the mid to late game!)

The sideboard includes some intense artifact and graveyard hate, which is a good thing to have in modern's current meta game.

There's a few ways to win! Use your spirits to deal lethal over time, or activate a flying 4/4 angel with Geist of Saint Traft each time he attacks to really hurt your opponent. You can also use the above mentioned combo to clear the field and bang on your opponent.

Enjoy! And feel free to leave any suggestions or comments!
