Uh, interesting mix. I'm guessing your win condition is to burn them to death with spells and random aggro and then stall with blue cards?

Running three or more colors in a Standard deck is an ambitious feat. If were going to do a three color spirit deck I'd probably go Esper spirits instead, since Green doesn't exactly have a lot of super interesting spirits aside from Strangleroot.

I wouldn't bother with Miracle cards at all - while the benefits are often very good, they're insanely overpriced in terms of non-Miracle casting cost. I wouldn't play Miracles in a deck that wasn't Blue or Green based.

Cathedral Sanctifier was amazing at the pre-release tonight. I played three of them in a Black/White lifegain/control deck and actually managed to win a match with it, which is more than I can say for any other deck I've ever put together at any other draft.
Another amazing card was Bone Splinters, a wonderful removal card that (imo) trumps Doom Blade. Even at a Sorcery speed, it was a delightful thing to sac one of my miserable one-drops (such as the aforesaid Sanctifier or a Hunted Ghoul) for something much bigger. And since it was all AVR that we were playing, I hardly had to worry about graveyard recursion. Human Fraility was another card I made much use of. Most of the decks I played against had at least one human with a Soulbond condition on them and I was happy to have them.

Another good common card I found was Bloodflow Connoisseur.

I know that there was a Black/White Intro deck similar to this in Dark Ascension, but I think it left out the lifegain and instead focused more on aggro. I need to look into this, because I actually really had fun playing this kind of deck.

Commons and uncommons I want:
Angelic Wall
Call to Serve
Cathedral Sanctifier
Defang
Midnight Duelist - even though there are precious few vamps in AVR.
Moonlight Geist, Spectral Gateguards, Fettergeist, Latchseeker, Lone Revenant (I love spirits, so much so that I'm wondering if I could maybe make an EDH deck out of them).
Rotcrown Ghoul for my mill deck, although the cost is a bit too high for my liking.
There are a couple Red cards I like that I might stick in my Goblins deck or maybe use in a Red/Green aggro deck.
Not really understanding the whole "exile as a means of protection" idea they introduced here. If anything, I want my opponent's cards to get exiled, not mine.

I would want Descendant's Path, if only for the art. Nielsen is amazing.

Mental Misstep would be a good SB card if it wasn't so bloody expensive. Since there's a lot of different bounce and counter spells at your disposal, you could try some in your deck and some in your sideboard. Your biggest problem (in my opinion) with this deck is that White and Green have answers to the main threats in your deck, which are creatures that mill and enchantments that cause milling. White has Revoke Existence and probably something even cheaper than that to deal with your Jace's Erasure. White also has cards like Day of Judgment and Rebuke, which can wreak havoc if you have useful creatures out.

Sorin is the cheapest M12 Planeswalker, coming in at about 5 bucks each. Gideon Jura is next at about 6 bucks a card, then Chandra, and after her is Garruk and at the top (surprise surprise) is Jace.

urabrask seems serviceable but there doesn't seem to be a deck which can exclusive exploit his abilities

He's usable in Frites, and in EDH, but Red doesn't really do well with high-cost creatures, despite how useful they may be. Red is about speed, and while Urabrask grants haste to everything that hits the field while he's out there, it's just not good for a Red deck to tap out to summon a single creature, which can easily be countered.

He might be more feasible if you ran a deck with 4 Infernal Plunge and 4 Geosurge in it, whereby you would sac some cheap, worthless creature to summon him early on, but I think that a big bulky Red dragon would be better than him most of the time.

The thing about Artifact-Sac Proliferate is that 1. Most of your creatures are cheap. 2. They have infect, and few people want to block creatures with infect because it'll mean their own creatures get destroyed. 3. You're bound to get at least 1 poison counter on your opponent within the first few turns, after which point the game is just about proliferating your creatures after attempting to attack with them/using Black removal. 4. You're unlikely to run up against someone running artifact removal unless they're playing Red, and in any case, Phyrexian Crusader is fine against that.

I couldn't believe how easy this deck ran. Realize you can't get past their defenses? Just sac a creature and add on a poison counter.

This is very similar to my deck, which runs off of Throne of Geth. Artifact Sac-Infect: Just make as many of your creatures artifact creatures with Infect on them, toss in a few other cards like Decimator Web, and you're ready. I'd post the decklist but I've never understood how to properly create a deck posting.

Dissipation Field is sadly not a great card - the cost is way too high for this deck, not to mention the fact that it won't really stop aggro decks in their tracks. It only triggers after the damage has been done to you, which isn't helpful - it maybe buys you one turn of reduced damage, which just isn't enough. You're going to take a few hits with this deck, it's true, but that's what the Unsummons and other bounces are for.

I'd gladly take numerous cheap bounce spells over 1 Dissipation Field.

Can't really see the reason behind using Inkmoth Nexus aside from using it to block fliers? But you shouldn't need to - in aggro the best defense is a good offense. Have you tried alternatives like Corrosive Gale?

Most of the Frites decks I see run either Titans, Praetors, or a mix of both. Urabrask isn't a bad choice for a Frites deck, but I've never seen Jin-Gitaxias in one so far.

Also Corpse Lunge>Postmortem Lunge. The only advantage Postmortem Lunge has on Corpse Lunge is that it allows you to attack your opponent directly, I suppose, rather than targeting a creature, but it's also a last-ditch attempt to win, as you should only use it when your mightiest creature has fallen.

Visions of Beyond isn't a bad card, especially in a mill or self mill deck. I would imagine that Blue/Green self mill decks could benefit from Visions of Beyond.

Imprint cards were some of the most complicated cards to use in Scars, as the Imprint mechanic differed completely from card to card - they were more or less what you based your whole deck around if you included them. They were combo initiators.

I just now noticed you dropped Runic Repetition. Was it proving to be too big of a mana hog?

Did you bother to add in the Disperses?

Quote from Kahedron

You are correct on Rakados, Niv and Razia

In ravnica there were a pair of legendary creature cycles each with similar amounts of dedicated mana in their costs. The guild masters were the creatures with 2 pairs of dedicated mana so

Rakados = Rakdos the Defiler
Gruul = Borborygmos
Selesnya conclave = Chorus of the Conclave
Orhoz syndicate = Ghost Council of Orzhova
Azorius = Isperia the Inscrutable
Izzet = Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind
Boros = Razia, Boros Archangel
Dimir = Szadek, Lord of Secrets


Golagri and Simic broke the pattern somewhat

Golagari = Savra, Queen of the Golgari
Simic = Momir Vig, Simic Visionary

Isperia is actually the Azorian guild Champion, not the leader. I believe the leader of Azorius is Leonos II, who became guild leader after the death of Augustin IV. Augustin IV met his death at the hands of Szadek.

Razia is no longer guildmaster of Boros - she was also killed by Szadek. The guild is now lead by an Archangel by the name of Feather.
