zapyourtumor Unfortunately, Portable Hole is an artifact, so I can't tutor it. How about Detention Vortex instead? Or Oppressive Rays? What about Sky Tether for whatever has flying that I can't block, or Angelic Gift as a way to do that as well as draw a card and also if the player can't block the flying card?

How about Sky Tether as another removal option and Brave the Elements for protection?

Nice! There are three other cards to consider for budget UW flyers: Sky Tether, Winged Words, and Rally of Wings. Rally is seriously one of the best combat tricks out there.

I think it's a solid non-legendary rare, in any case, as it has aggressive stats, and seems like a Johnny card/Spike maybe given the cards I'll put below (Only competitive with a standard reprint of the concept of the cards, obviously). It has a solid hate effect, and while Flying & Reach is silly, it does have marginal usefulness, in the face of Archetype of Imagination and Sky Tether.
I run Eon Hub in my Lavinia, Azorius Renegate, to work around Stasis and other similar effects, as it doesn't run smokestacks, and will have Paradox Haze in the Jhoira of the Ghitu deckI'm in the concept stages of

Newer cards: Winged Words, Sky Tether, and Rally of Wings are all great budget options.

These are typically the "core" Modern spirits creatures:
Now you're on a budget so I think Queller and Selfless are out. But if you can squeeze Wanderer and Phantom into your budget (I'd replace Tallowisp and your two 2x spirits), I highly highly recommend. A scalable utility 1 drop and a 2 drop lord make a huge difference. Then you can probably cut to 22x lands.
You usually want slightly more blue than white mana sources, since more of your color pips are blue in most spirits decks. Try 1-2 extra Island, swapping out Plains.
I don't like Temple of Enlightenment, a tapped land is such a tempo killer for this deck. Any chance you can acquire Port Town in its place?
For creature removal, since Path to Exile is presumably not an option, try Sky Tether. Your creatures almost always fly so in a lot of cases this is as good as actual removal, and for 1 mana too.
I've tried Staggering Insight and I honestly don't think it's worth it at 2 mana. Curious Obsession imo is better if you want this sort of effect. If instead you decide you don't want any of this, I suggest something cheap like Spell Pierce, just as a nice easy out to planeswalkers and other noncreature stuff people might drop on you.
Hope some of this helps you out. Good luck! Spirits is insanely fun.
