Description of deck by its author (quoted):
 With Time Spiral set to replace Champions of
Kamigawa block in Standard very shortly, I thought I'd take a look at
what Mishra, Artificer Prodigy offers the Spirit world. As I mention
above, one of the great creature-enhancers and cost-reducers is
Long-Forgotten Gohei. Dancing Scimitar is an artifact and a Spirit, so
it's definitely in. Baku Altar and Jade Idol, meanwhile, have
Spiritcraft abilities that allow you to make Spirits. The Altar makes
1/1 tokens while the Idol transforms into a 4/4 artifact creature.
Long-Forgotten Gohei enhances them both, while reducing the cost of the
spells that keep them going. For the Spirit and Arcane spells, I decided
to use ones that can be played repeatedly, like Kiri-Onna and Death of a
Thousand Stings. Kiri-Onna can be used to return itself, if need be,
while Death of a Thousand Stings provides a nice Splice outlet for
Glacial Ray and an alternate win condition. Both work much better when
they're cost is reduced to around one mana.
