Spirits list with Tallowisp, Hateful Eidolon and auras.

Hateful Eidolon plays very nicely with Dead Weight, Mire's Grasp and especially the new Geistlight Snare. Tallowisp can be used to either grab the removal or grab a situationally valuable aura.

Call to the Kindred is a bit of a pet card but the deck offers a lot of hexproof, indestructible and counterspells to try to pull it off. It can also be tutored with Tallowisp. It sets up a win fast if the opponent lets you get a few upkeeps with it.

The rest of the deck is more or less a normal UW Spirits list. I don't have room for Supreme Phantom but don't need it. I'm also not running the tapping spirits, relying more on counterspells and removal to keep tempo.

I'm not currently running Geist of Saint Traft though I have considered him due to the static hexproof. Not having evasion and the token not being a spirit hold the card back enough for me to not run it.
