Spirit Squadron | Precon Upgrade Guide | Commander | EDH | Budget | Cut-Rate Commander 

THIS. This is a truly great upgrade video. It's concise, gives reasons on card choices and gameplan, and overall is very very solid. Only bit of possible advice is actually for the description. Maybe add a link to the cards getting added/replaced? Understandably it's some extra effort, but I can see the utility of it for some folks who just want the 'down and dirty' of it. Outside of that, this hits the nail on the head!

Just found this channel, I could not be happier 😢 great content, dude!

Being a lover of the afterlife myself and spirits being fitting of this momentous holiday for us all I figured this would be the perfect video to wish you Grazzet a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year. We all await patiently for our first cut-rate or pre-con upgrades in the new year

I love the background sound and the deck upgrades :O

Thanks for the video, bought the cards as mentioned and looking forward to trying it. However, after purchasing the cards and going back to this to swap them out, I realized you only mention 25 cards being cut but adding 28. That puts this deck over the 100 card limit for commander, therefore making it illegal. What are the other 3 cuts?

May I suggest you include a second deck list in the expanded description so that people can only purchase the cards you are adding to the deck? I already own the precon so I would have to check one against the other to see what wouldn't need to be purchased.

I took the deck in a bit of a different direction maintaining the strong token theme but also going with an enchantment theme as there are several really strong enchantments specifically for spirits that mesh really well here. For instance because we want our non token spirits to either die or deal combat damage to opponents we should consider running martyr's bond which yes costs 4WW but anytime our spirits die with this out by any means our opponents are forced to sacrifice their creatures as well or any other permanents that share a type with them. Song of the worldsoul is an enchantment at a CMC of also 4WW is also quite something else worth considering to expand our spirit squadrons as now not only will we be producing 1/1 flying spirit tokens whenever our non token spirits connect or die but also now whenever we cast spells as song of the world soul has us populate whenever we cast spells and it's not limited to a one time trigger so the more spells we cast the more spirits we get. The last enchantment I'm recommending is literally saving the best for last: Hallowed haunting indeed an extremely powerful white enchantment that can give us some much need punch and momentum at a CMC of 2WW it reads as follows as long as we control seven or more enchantments creatures we control have flying and vigilance and whenever we cast an enchantment spell which is a big chunk of my deck itself we get a spirit cleric token whose power and toughness are each to the number of spirits we control including itself. As far as I'm concerned one would be insane not to at least consider playing hallowed haunting in a spirit deck and is the primary reason and motivation why I went spirit enchantment tribal with this deck. I came up with a new name for my spirit deck "enchanted afterlife" because of the fact I am playing a lot of spirit support and spirits alike but also because no I am not playing all that many auras but I am playing a very healthy number of enchantments in my deck to further augment my spirits thus why I've gone from "spirit squadron" to "enchanted afterlife" as that is pretty much what has happened with my deck's build in a really good way

Does anyone know if it’s possible to make a good upgrade by combining both the Spirit squadron and Phantom Premonition decks? I have both precons and am new to magic so I’m looking to combine them to make a better deck but I haven’t had any luck finding videos or anything giving a deck list :/

Great Stuff as always, sir. I know you don't like to "look at the past" with the commanders and the decks, but you should really take a look at the dimir zombies guy from midnight hunt. It's a fun, strong, and at least in my area, sold out deck. Maybe you could add "upgrade tiers" of say, $30, $60 and $90, to flesh out the decks even more. I don't know, just some ideas. Happy to see you back on track. Cheers!

Enjoy the coffee. 👍

Thanks for this video! I've been using the base deck and love to use it! I have a question though! I pretty much got your upgrade card for card because I loved the direction you took it! But I grabbed one more card, Ao the Dawn Sky, that I was wondering would be a good replacement for Oyobi, who I don't think really works really well in this deck because the deck is lower on ramp, and is probably just gonna get removed while you tap out your entire turn to play it. While Oyobi gives tokens, Ao will probably get you value on its way out, and can potentially cheat your smaller dudes out, God willing you hit something. Not to mention all the ETB's in the deck already and is flying and a spirit :) What do you think? Any other newer cards that really scream a good deal to put in the deck? Thanks again! I've been binging these deck upgrade guides!

i love your videos

What a ghastly performance! Well, I gotta say, it is pretty clear, transparently even, that this is quite the potent upgrade! Regardless, I am compelled to make it go through testing! Hopefully my puns served their purpose well enough to preserve the spirit of this comment section, as this deck ascends its mortal preconstructed coil. So far the only way I can see you upgrade these precon-upgrade videos is a vote in the end, like the cut-rate series, or something similar. Maybe let anyone that buys you a coffee a precon upgrade recommendation? Kinda like a patreon thing? Then again, I understand if you want to keep things simple for the time being, as there is still a bit more that you need to do in order to become, as Spamton the Wise once said, a [[BIG SHOT]]. Day 129 of waiting for Grazzet's face reveal. Have you tried out Inscryption yet? And if you have/haven't, what do you think about it? (Also, sorry if you are sick of hearing about this game everywhere. I know the pain of being sick of a thing quite well. I call it the Despacito-Squid Game Syndrome.)

Would you blanket add rhystic study to any blue commander deck? That was a solid 15 minutes of explanation on this deck and I enjoyed them all. Thank you sir

2:31-2:46 I love how you display Azorius as "evil" here as this color pair is often described as lawful neutral to lawful good with no ounce of evil in it and I have a strong love for spirits and the afterlife to the point that spirits are my absolute favourite tribe in Innistrad with werewolves being a close second. My only question is how do spirits represent Azorius from a lore and/or flavour standpoint and perspective as I see them as much more of an Orzhovan(WB) tribe with White spirits representing respect for ancestry and Black spirits represent the restless exploited dead and blue as a color usually has nothing associated with life or death itself so the blue feels out of place for me in spirits but if it were a Black and White tribe this would make a lot more sense to me. So as I'm requesting can you or somebody else explain how the spirits of Innistrad are primarily Azorius and not Orzhov and thanks in advance
