Spirit Squadron Budget Precon Upgrade Guide - Crimson Vow | Command Zone 431 | Magic: The Gathering

[@jakubmuller1026]

To anyone watching: Please do not cut the midnight clock from your deck. I would rather cut the Locket. The Clock is an amazing 3CMC mana rock that also after 3 turns gives you a free Time Twister. I have seen many games when The Clock made a huge difference. It is very solid and most likely not a great cut.

[@chrismarlow9585]

I was thinking the exact same!

[@christopherm.7310]

This!

[@aarontalks8440]

Right. If you’re not playing a lot on your opp turn you might as well have something to tap mana for

[@skykur]

Rather play a spirit than a weak mana rock. This card is good in some decks but it’s not an auto-include

[@floyd750]

I'm not knocking mid night clock, Don't get me wrong, It's good, As a cedh player, It's something you won't see there, It's a manalith for sure, But the last bit, It takes 3 turn cycles to get the 12th counter without using the ability to add a counter. By the time you get to your 11th counter someone can easily just destroy it, They have 3 turn cycles to stop you getting card advantage, In a 4 player game, Someone will more likely than not destroy it.

[@VagrantKing]

I’ve built the deck and love it. Had a game last week where I used Twilight Drover and Anointed Procession to make 12 spirits on the end step, then I slapped down obelisk of urd (which is my recommendation for a budget add at $3) and proceeded to go all in at the player in the lead out nowhere with a spirit army

[@santuli_91]

Midnight Clock was way underrated in this video. Like, yea, it's a 3 mana rock, but it's a GOOD one. And the fact Jake literally said "well if you ignore that last bit of text, it's just a manalith" kinda feels indicative that they were stretching for that one. Similarly, I was surprised Crush Contraband was the first card to get cut, but maybe that's only cause in my play group it's always a godsend of a card. Other than those though, good suggestions!

[@KevinCockerline]

Haven’t watched yet but I’m just poking through comments. Midnight Clock is a huge sleeper card for me. It is kinda like manalith and I actually think that’s good. It’s not threatening at all. It’s just an innocuous little ramp card until it suddenly gives you a new hand in like 3 turns. It’s been so good for me

[@chrismarlow9585]

It's kind of strange because they hype up wheels like they're among the best kinds of card draw, yet a personal wheel built into a mana rock (something we'd normally want to play) they somehow call low power. I bet they'd like to use the argument "it's too slow if you draw it late". Well guess what's also bad to draw late... any other mana rock!

[@michaelcho6484]

I was kind of surprised that crush contraband was a card to cut. With enchantments like Parallel Lives, Smothering Tithe, Underworld Breach, and the new green enchantment that makes treasures by tapping your lands, this card is just a must have. I am not sure if I need to explain the crazy artifacts as well. And these are all in cEDH as well, so I will have this card in my deck

[@chromaphasia453]

Yeah it was wild to me that they went for midnight clock and crush contraband and not… the 6 mana 3/3 ‘whenever you cast a spirit, draw a card’. Midnight clock refills your hand and is harder to remove. Sire of the storms refills your hand one card at a time, slowly, and only if you’re playing spirits consistently, for 6 mana and garbage stats that make it susceptible to very cheap removal from lightning bolt to candy grapple from the latest set. I honestly think they just dropped the ball and removed sire of the storms immediately, but then forgot they removed it so picked 10 more, because its so clear that that card is hot garbage to anyone.

[@justanotherhuman7106]

I really love this spirit deck so much, Millicent is sooo cool as a commander

[@TotallyGenericName]

Hello, Midnight Clock draws 7 cards? You have 3 turns to dump your hand and trade in your mana rock for your own personal Time Twister. That's worth playing a 3 mana rock.

[@Tvboy777]

Yeah, not sure what they're doing cutting that card in a U/W aggressive deck. Seems they just don't understand how good it is.

[@saucercrabzero]

Honestly I had overlooked the card but I read it when they talked about it, Turn 6 zero mana Timetwister is not bad, and it's a mana rock on the way there too. Even if they remove it on turn 5, that's generally a card from their hand and some mana, so it became a mana rock that was somewhere between a Flagbearer and 1/3rd of a Time Walk Thanks for helping me re-evaluate this card!

[@michaelatkinson88]

Yea, I'm a fan of Midnight Clock, for sure. Most opponents undervalue it as well, so that works in its favor right now.

[@santuli_91]

I love the card Verity Circle so much, that I had been working on an Archelos deck that's all about tapping stuff down and really works hard to tutor up Verity Circle... The fact that this deck comes with partner commanders that are designed for this specific strategy makes me SO happy. I know they don't seem particularly strong, but I think I could have fun with a lower powered janky deck like this.

[@Ranis555]

Midnight Clock is waaaaaay better than you guys made it sound.

[@Xander44s]

Very good suggestions, i would add these: -Kira, Great Glass-Spinner -Skyclave Apparition -Mystic Reflection -Reflections of Littjara -Strixhaven Stadium

[@joelvillanueva3550]

Definitely reflections of littjara

[@LivingPeople12]

Especially since the value of the deck is so low, it feels like a crime that they didn't include Drogskol Reaver and Selfless Spirit from the start. I am almost offended.

[@Vesdus]

And Drogskol Reaver was reprinted shortly afterwards and is now worth less than a dollar. :/

[@jevansfp]

If your spirit tokens die/get wiped, Millicent doesn’t make new tokens. Her effect only works with non-token spirits.

[@adamsme1314]

[@Vesdus]

Here are the actual cards you want to cut: Stage 1 - Custodi Soulbinders, Boreas Charger, Sudden Salvation, Storm of Souls, Haunted Library, Oyobi Who Split the Heavens, Geist of Saint Traft, Verity Circle Stage 2 - Timin Youthful Geist, Rhoda Geist Avenger, Breath of the Sleepless, Nebelghast Herald, Shacklegeist, Hanged Executioner, Spectral Shepherd, Flood of Tears Stage 3 - Haunting Imitation, Sire of the Storm, Custodi Squire, Knight of the White Orchid, Karmic Guide, Disorder in the Court, Ghostly Prison, Windborne Muse Stage 4 - Occult Epiphany, Azorius Locket, Hallowed Spiritkeeper, Rattlechains, Priest of the Blessed Graf, Angel of Flight Alabaster, Kami of the Crescent Moon, Commander's Sphere

[@scottarchey4952]

[@jayhaviland4708]

I'm not suggesting anyone adds it but Spirit en-Dal has always been one of my favorite pet cards and I loved having an excuse to finally put it in a deck.

[@ericqdavies]

2 mana repeatable sorcery (that is extremely difficult to counter) that makes 1 creature unblockable till end of turn is pretty good (unless someone is running Shadow which is unlikely). Some Forecast abilities are very underrated.

[@smf8870]

CUSTODI SOULBINDERS if you’re playing an opponent who is also playing a token deck, dragons, vampires, humans, zombies.. and you put this out mid game.. it says “other creatures OTB” not creatures you control so it could come out as a 20/20 or even higher. I think this card could be pretty big. Even if you didn’t do the activated ability. It could be a BIG X/X 4 CMC It’s a huge blocker or can blow a hole in a defense and take up a few blockers while other creatures swoop in.

[@TheInsanityOfTheToilet]

I was thinking the same thing, seems like by turn 4 its probably gonna come out as a somewhere between 5/5 - 9/9 depending on your playgroup/order in the turns. And there are so many other synergy creatures in this deck that having a turn 4 that big is a great thing to get nuked instead of another piece

[@EliyaSelhub]

A bit of a pricey upgrade at $10 but Blasting Station would be amazing in this deck. There are all kinds of ways to go infinite with it but it's just good value

[@omegakaozz1332]

Im thinking of merging my "upgraded" Ranar flying creatures deck with this one. I would recommend 2 cards Sakashima's Will ($0.49) and Steel-Plume Marshal ($0.75)

Phantom General cost 1 white 4 colorless 2/3 is a spirit. Creature tokens you control get +1/+1 Now all your Spirit creature tokens are 2/2 with flying.

[@AbyssArray]

I would recommend Keep Watch, it's a [2U] instant that let's you draw equal to the number of attacking creatures (doesn't even have to be your own either) Besides that... Heraldic Banner is nice, doubles as an anthem and a mana rock Coat of Arms is a nice tribal card, very powerful board buff Extra turns can help close out a game too Teferi's Veil is a nice way to protect your attackers after combat.. same with Guardian of Faith (and is also a Spirit)

[@andrewroy5677]

Love the new art on swords to plowshares by Jesper! Was actually surprised that propaganda wasn't mentioned as windborn and ghostly prison were kept in.

Great job, Jake and Jimmy!

That's sometimes the funny thing with the value: a 'budget' Deck can sometimes be as powerful as a 300$ deck. The commander makes it very strong in this case.

[@nik700]

@@anubis44r Oh yeah, I love the list, but with the constant release of precons and the increase in price, wotc should make a better job with reprints. I think this is an all-time low

[@mxkale-k6r]

Part of the problem is that spirits as a tribe have always seemed to be missing one or two pieces to make it gel together in EDH. As a result the pieces haven't really ever been expensive in the same way that say Vampires or equipment are. This deck includes things, like Millicent herself, that address some of them. Tapping also has had similar issues. If they'd made it an Aura Spirits deck it could have been a higher reprint value. However they've done multiple aura decks. I think it's better that they went with the themes they did though. It allows for more viable strategies.

[@WilliamBoudle]

[@AceManRevived]

it's really not that bad; especially when you need some spirits on the board. I feel like it's more of a contengency card; best part is it goes back to hand if you pull nothing .

I personally Added: Akromas Will, Memory Erosion, Reliquary Tower, AEtherize, Counterspell, Kami of False Hope, Mirrorweave, Release to Memory, Spell Queller, and Ribbons of the Rekai. I know Memory Erosion might seem to mean because it reads "Whenever an opponent casts a spell, that player puts the top two cards of his or her library into his or her graveyard." but hear me out, it synergizes very well with Release to Memory because Release to Memory exiles graveyards and creates 1/1 Spirits per creature card exiled, which then synergizes very well with Millicent.

I put in a few more counterspells because I wanted to lean into the control-y aspect a little more to protect my spirit army.

In another spirit deck, with Ranar the Ever-Watchful as its commander (spirit/exile hybrid, then), I see Disorder in the Court as an amazing card. Personally, of the non-creature, non-treasure, non-gold tokens, I consider clues to be some of the better ones. Not super impressed by food tokens or blood tokens, but they have their uses. I certainly do not put clues on the same level as scrying; paying 2 to draw a card is a good rate, right? "One of the best rates you'll find in Magic" I think Jimmy said once. Of course, it requires having clue tokens, but in the right decks, there will be ways to generate clues by following your main strategy. That doesn't mean clues are great for all decks, but for some, I think they're more than okay. Good episode! I'm excited to see what I can use from the decks, or if I'll want to get one or both for myself!

I am a huge fan of yours and generally really enjoy your content. That being said, I feel like I need to comment on how this particular episode handled the pathetic reprint value of this deck. While I do agree that there is a time value here of not having to go out and find each individual card for this deck, there is zero denying that the value of this deck is atrocious, especially compared to other recent decks. What makes it worse is that there are so many cards in blue and in white that desperately need reprints in accessible places. Cards like smothering tithe, tefaris protection, hallowed fountain, rhystic study, etc are all cards that the community at large really needs and this was a great opportunity to print at least one of them. Instead, wizards honestly gave a pile of "synergy" with little value outside of games against other precons (though this one seems a lot weaker than other precons so not sure how it'll hold up).

So i do not agree with some of the ones that were taken out like midnight clock.

So many things could had been added into this deck. Court of Grace, Geist- Honored Monk, Promise of Bunrei, Kami, Selfless Spirit, Dungeon Geist, Cloudhoof kirin, Empyrean Eagle, etc.

Ultra pro is terrible. I got a satin tower and it turned all sticky. There response was essentially "I'm sorry, we know we have a defective product. FU, buy another one of our products to fix the problem" I'm buying game genic from now on since they were willing to replace my set of card sleeves because of the 1 in a million chance a Mosquito got caught in the manufacturing process in one sleeve.

I definitely dig this deck . 100 bucks can make this deck dangerous for sure .

Question: do you think Mr. Boss is a Brudiclad player?

Verity Circle?! Finally! I've been waiting for this card ever since Teysa used it to get a confession from a defentand, waaaay back in the original Ravnica romances!

It was originally in Ravnica Allegiance. It was really fun to pair with Gadwick the Wizened when they were both in standard together.
