First-Ever "Real" Deck - U/W Spirit (Modern)
Deck Help forum
Posted on March 25, 2013, 10:56 p.m. by SFlorian
Hey everyone! I've played Magic casually on-and-off for over a decade, but this is my first attempt at building a "real," pro-style deck. It's Modern-legal, as I'm not quite die-hard enough to do Standard lol, but I'd really like to get some suggestions from da experts, so lemme know what you think!
Thanks much!! - Steve
I'd like to learn, what about it is too casual? Is it too slow, too easily blocked, not powerful enough? I appreciate your input, but I need something more specific to gain benefit.
I did look at a good number of decklists for Spirit decks and other decks as I built this one, thought I'm not sure how to find ones that specifically have good tournament results.

So Im in agreement with Demarge however I'll be a bit more specific ;). First off what you stated on this thread and what you wrote on your Deck description are contradictory. When you build competitive (even semi-competitive) you need to spend money. Its a fact despite how much you may not like it. Now Geist of Saint Traft needs to be in this deck. It just NEEDS to be for a U/W spirit. i understand a four set is too much but even just 2 with rack you up way more wins than Im guessing it would currently get and if you play alot I promise you it will be worth it. I think you could get away without pain lands since it is only a dual color otherwise you would need those too. Now I would maybe think about Latch Seeker or try and abuse your Call to the Kindred with some different spirits than Drogskol Reaver ... -3Cackling Counterpart +1 Distortion Strike +2 Lantern Kami -1 Drogskol Reaver Its just too big. +1 Mana Leak . and maybe think about some different Spirits. . . you have like 150 you can choose from. suggestions Azorius Herald , Celestial Crusader , Godhead of Awe would have to change your deck idea for this one, Kira, Great Glass-Spinner maybe if you cant do Geist do this one Shape Stealer , Sovereigns of Lost Alara fits really well with your deck. Idk. to be honest without a 4 set of Geist and running Spirit token type decks to try and be competitive will be hard. just rememebr your running blue. . . so try and focus and STREAMLINING teh combo you and and every other card make it control and defense.

It's still too casual, I'd suggest looking up decklists that put up good tournament results for inspiration.
