I would recommend a small mix up in the interaction. Lofty and Pierce are solid, though I would go with four lofty and only two or three pierce in the main, but Disallow doesn't seem like the pick for a tempo/aggro deck. I know you said more controlling, but in my experience spirits tends to be a tempo beatdown kind of deck. To that end I'd recommend cutting the Disallow for Get Lost to deal with resolved creatures and any problematic enchantments like Temporary Lockdown. Remorseful Cleric is a graveyard nuke on a relevant body, giving you one or two pieces of graveyard hate in the main that could be worth running depending on your local meta.
Also, I don't think this is a 24 land deck. With a curve topping out at three, 22 lands should do you just fine. That would free up a couple slots which could be filled with the 4th Supreme Phantom and Mausoleum Wanderer.
I also recommend some more anti-aggro tech in the sideboard, as mono-red is always around. Plenty of options, but my picks are Elspeth's Smite or Knockout Blow. For other sideboard options, some amount of Authority of the Consuls can be great for aggro and decks trying to haste in threats like Arclight Phoenix or Greasefang's many vehicles. Guardian of Faith is a pet card option I like for dodging wraths (especially Supreme Verdict) and sometimes spot removal.
Hope this is helpful, and best of luck!
