He's small and cheap. Also the Spirit card draw engine of choice. Play with Evershrike.

This is a staple card for some great constructed fun! A 1/3 two-drop that provides card advantage for every Spirit or Arcane spell is splendid. Cheap and effective one-drop auras à la Rancor in particular do a great job with this guy - especially if you run Auratog. Nature's Chosen is less known, but another neat pick here. The auras can also be used to cast Shoals (or Force of Will) without paying mana. If you add Dryads like Argothian Enchantress, you'll have even more card advantage - in particular if you grab a bounce-Aura like Flickering Ward. Now with Rise of the Eldrazi we have a new great ássortment of cards for this guy, for example Umbras with totem armor like the one-drop Hyena Umbra; or Kor Spiritdancer, an incredible enchantress for Auras.

This is a very powerful card, the engine for Ghost Dad deck. The trick is that you load your deck with controlling and buffing enchantments, use cheap spirits to repeatedly search for them to control the board. As Mode mentioned above, the moment it fetches cards, they could be used as fuel for the 'free' spells. Shoals, in this case, would effectively cost no mana, no card, and at the same time allow you to tutor again.
My guess is that this card can also fetch you Animate Dead, but I'm not too sure. Tallowisp fetches an aura with Enchant Creature, which 'literally' is in Animate Dead, so it might work?

Isolated on its little candlewick, the kami never heard of the crime that drove its comrades to war.
I want to team this guy up with Kami of False Hope and Angel of Flight Alabaster. Recurring fog, plus getting an enchantment each time. Feels like you can break this.

Somehow I missed this while building my tribal spirits deck; now I'm going to find a place for it.
Also, this won't work with Blinking Spirit because an ETB effect won't work; you need to play the card. Try Lantern Spirit.

Then it fetched Eldrazi Consc.ription, and went to war.
