Great Vid! For some more great upgrades; Reliquary tower : you are drawing so much, you should not have to discard all that! Austere Command : Flexible whipe! You need more whipes in this deck than normal, play some spirits, play your commander. whipe the board. Play millicent for cheap again and dominate. Dorothea, Vengeful Victim // Dorothea's Retribution : Cut geist of saints and get a real spirit generator on the field! Generous gift: the best removal in white. Hour of Reckoning: a whipe that leaves all tokens? lets do this! Kami of False Hope: a fog never killed anyone :P Lofty Denial : a great counter spell! Nikko-Onna: great on theme enchant removal Rally the Ranks: get all the buffs! Sephara, Sky's Blade: budget option for selfless spirit Spectral Procession: 3 mana to make your commander 4 cheaper? Yes, i like that! True Conviction: everything has double strike and lifelink? Life can't get much better.
My main issue with this precon was reprints. Would it have been so hard to get a kindred discovery or anointed procession reprint. Great content as always.
I was thinking that maybe spirits wasn't a tribe packed with reprint value, but yeah, Kindred Discovery is 100% perfect for a reprint. It's even edh exclusive
I was excited to see this deck come out. I noticed I had a lot of spirit cards in my collection but didn't have the energy to build a whole deck from it. This precon was just what I needed and I could easily substitute some of my own spirits
I thought I was almost the only one having thought of Strixhaven Stadium! Well, now I know I'm not completely mad! ;) I've been loving this precon and the deckbuilding process around it. It's a bit trickier to balance than Wilhelt, because Spirits have less support and raw power in the history of the game, but having so many fliers and pesky creatures can be a huge starting point. Thanks for the video, it helped me focus on a couple points, too.
Hey Joey thanks a lot for this episode! I picked up the deck yesterday and I cannot wait to try it out, been waiting for a proper spirit tribal commander for a long time! A nice add could be Keep Watch, lots of card draw to refill our hand at instant speed since we should have a wide board, but it works on other players' boards too! Also, True Conviction and Duelist's Heritage are pretty good, Millicent loves double strike!
I would never thought that in the year that WotC gave us the first RG precon (and that being dragon tribal) that I was gonna be far more excited for spirits. There's a lot to love in this precon, and some nice toys to add as well. And if you're like me, and really like tribal and swinging, my first card to add would be True Conviction
@@tfms1andy Double strike is really good when your commander triggers on combat damage all over the board. Double damage, double triggers, and it will force the boardwipe, leaving you with even more tokens. Not saying that it's craterhoof for spirits, but still pretty good (I know, non tokens only, but you get the idea)
March of Souls is an excellent boardwipe for this deck, especially with the phasing support for stuff you don't want to lose. Also, Faithbound Judge for a decent body and future wincon. I did however tweak this deck hard into a Brago deck instead focusing on the exile loops.
I would like to recommend one more card in the finisher slot. I have had great success with the card True Conviction. I think its a great second copy of cathar’s crusade in any white-X aggressive deck. It’ll still nock players from the red zone with double strike and it also either puts you further out of reach or can help you swing a game back with the lifelink. 10/10 would play anywhere.
I didn't notice that anyone else remarked on it, but when considering your emphasis on the tribal nature of this deck and the reinforcing of the +1/+1 aspects of certain cards I find it surprising that you didn't even mention the possibility of including Coat of Arms. At the very least, this could cause your opponents to focus on removing that card, thus allowing you to pull a fast one on them when they think they've eliminated your biggest threat.
Drogskol Reaver could easily be Elesh Norn. Their price points are broadly the same, they cost the same mana but Norn has a more immediate impact which is what you want from a 7 drop card. Making your 1/1 spirits able to trade with 5/5s is super good
Not sure if you'll see this, but what is your favourite content to make? Is it something like Upping the Average, Precon Recon, is it the regular EDHRECast, or do you prefer streaming?
I wouldn't put Court of Grace in the deck. Becoming a monarch just invites opponents to attack you. And by blocking, you might loose more than just one spirit you'd gain.
Right now U have an Azorius commander deck based on the Venture and Party mechanic which is an absolute flavor win, but I love aggressive wide decks. I just need to find an older deck I own to sacrifice to it XD
Crazy to take out timin,youthfull that card is Sooo good thr ability to stop All your players tuff guys EACH combat is crazy & helped me sooo many times
Rush of Knowledge could be good, the deck may not be running a lot of high mana value spirits, but Millicent sure is. I’m not sure how Magical Christmasland this is, but pulling off a turn four Millicent and followed up with a turn five Rush of Knowledge sounds very good.
Jockes i hope to hear: Kleingeist to small 1/1s Zeitgeist to extraturns Spirit use Shadowball or astonish or shadowclaw or protect! Guys help me out im out of jokes!

Drogskol Reinforcements isn't an Add. It's in the deck.
Using the precon in a 4-way match, I got boardwiped 4 times and got right back to 5+spirits within 2 turns of each.

They've got to save those for Triple Masters or whatever the next Commander player wallet emptying set is called.
@@styfen Well, you weren't wrong!

With the card draw effects, I would definitely add no max hand size cards.

As much as I love azorius most commanders in the colors aint very fun, this one is nice
6 mana to turn your 1/1s into 1/1s with double strike seems bad. Not the best stat line for that effect
@@tfms1andy Double strike is really good when your commander triggers on combat damage all over the board. Double damage, double triggers, and it will force the boardwipe, leaving you with even more tokens. Not saying that it's craterhoof for spirits, but still pretty good (I know, non tokens only, but you get the idea)
@@nik700 good point. I always forget that double strike causes two instances of combat damage.

This is going to be so fun. I play spirits in modern and now have a decent way to do it in edh. I may just sprinkle in a few tempo plays as well

Great vid man , just got into magic and got this precon
Added Geist honored Monk to mine. I haven't got to test it yet.

Drogskol Reinforcements are already included in the precon
Not sure if you'll see this, but what is your favourite content to make? Is it something like Upping the Average, Precon Recon, is it the regular EDHRECast, or do you prefer streaming?
gust of wind and geistlamp snare are epic for control and draw
I'm surprised to see Call to the Kindred not showing up much in this deck.
Rally the Ranks was not mentioned, but it costs under 1 dollar and its great for this deck!
Interesting that Intangible Virtue didn't make the list- seems like a great addition
I wouldn't put Court of Grace in the deck. Becoming a monarch just invites opponents to attack you. And by blocking, you might loose more than just one spirit you'd gain.

O of Urd with vanqisher's banner will give plus 3 to power and toughness and unclaimed territory calling spirits for the creatures
Crazy to take out timin,youthfull that card is Sooo good thr ability to stop All your players tuff guys EACH combat is crazy & helped me sooo many times
Add Hengegate Pathway and Nimbus Maze to the mana base
Rush of Knowledge could be good, the deck may not be running a lot of high mana value spirits, but Millicent sure is. I’m not sure how Magical Christmasland this is, but pulling off a turn four Millicent and followed up with a turn five Rush of Knowledge sounds very good.
I feel like cathars crusade is underated in this deck.
Kindred boon is great card draw.
I keep staring at this precon and cannot figure out what I want to do with it or direction. It like got 6 different decks in the same deck.
No Akroma's will?
Eldrazi Monument + Coat of Arms
You'll have to proxy those smothering tithe's and signets and anointed procession's. Wizards just likes watching the poor suffer, so push back.
Jockes i hope to hear:
Kleingeist to small 1/1s
Zeitgeist to extraturns
Spirit use Shadowball or astonish or shadowclaw or protect!
Guys help me out im out of jokes!
psuedo shroud, more like ward lol
