The spirits are real. I agree that hour of need could backfire, but it could also be used in response to removal.
Thanks for the feedback! I think opposition gets better if we slant more to spirits. And this next set has some juicy ones, and the ones you highlighted deal with a lot of problem cards quite nicely.
My budget league doesn't allow cards too expensive, so I am going to try and live the dream with relic seeker turned into a flyer by Aven mimeomancer =). Greedy, but worth a test in a budget legacy league.
I put in archive over the other draw doubler. The 5 mana colourlessness of it is awesome, as you can get into play pretty easily and then it survives all is dust. Worth losing the extra card from the draw phase for ease and quickness of casting (and u can get it with fabricate).
I also run an additional bounce spell (evac) as my meta is very creature heavy, but overall its the same list. Great deck. It's the first time I have had fun (and the other players too) playing combo at my commander nights.
Played the cube today with 2 people, performed wonderfully. We did 3 winston drafts. Each time we formed solid decks and had a riot of a good time. Was a bit hard getting the right cards together, but the decks were still consistent and effective.
I'll be hopefully running this list on Friday. My playgroup has also been finding it hard to get together in large numbers. Far more useful to have a smaller cube for the random 4 man drafts that happen more frequently.

Or if anyone else has one (I am thinking running a very similar list minus the artifact sac mana generators)
In the meantime, here is the latest alter... Brimaz and friends!
Poor soltari. No one carried a sword better =P.
