Lorehold Spirit Commander Deck Upgrade Guide

Secret Rendezvous has you and an opponent each draw three cards. You get the same cards your opponent does, and it is played in about one Quintorius deck in eight.

Ark of Hunger costs {2}{R}{W}. Whenever one or more cards leave your graveyard it deals 1 damage to each opponent and you gain 1 life, and for {T} you mill a card and may play it that turn. It is the highest-scoring card the precon is missing, and it fires on every Quintorius trigger.

Wave of Reckoning makes each creature deal damage to itself equal to its power. A 3/2 Spirit token dies to its own damage, so it is a sweeper that mostly hits your own board.

On Wings of Gold costs {3}{W}: your Zombies and tokens get +1/+1 and have flying, and whenever one or more cards leave your graveyard you create a 1/1 white Zombie. Every Spirit token flies, and every graveyard trigger makes another body.

Ao, the Dawn Sky is a 5/4 flying Dragon Spirit for {3}{W}{W} with strong death triggers. It is a good card, but it is played in about one Quintorius deck in five and costs five.

Hardened Academic costs {R}{W} and has flying and haste. You can discard a card for lifelink, and whenever one or more cards leave your graveyard it puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature you control. A two-drop that grows on every Quintorius trigger.

Atsushi is a 4/4 flying, trampling Dragon Spirit for {2}{R}{R}. It is played in about one Quintorius deck in five.

Banon, the Returners' Leader costs {R}{W}. Once each turn you may cast a creature spell from your graveyard that was put there from anywhere other than the battlefield this turn, so a discarded or milled creature comes back as a spell. Whenever you attack you may pay {1} and discard a card to draw a card. A two-drop that recasts creatures and triggers Quintorius when it does.

Naktamun Lorespinner is a 3/3 for {2}{R} that becomes prepared when a player has one or fewer cards in hand, so you can cast a copy of Wheel of Fortune. It is a very swingy card in a deck with a lot of card flow.

Bag of Holding costs {1}. Whenever you discard a card it exiles that card from your graveyard, and {2}, {T} loots. Each discard takes a card out of the graveyard, which triggers Quintorius, and later you can return everything it exiled to your hand.

Fateful Tempest is a council's dilemma sorcery: everyone votes, you mill or exile cards, and it deals damage based on what was milled. It does not do much for a deck that wants cards to leave its graveyard.

Joshua, Phoenix's Dominant costs {1}{R}{W}: when he enters you discard up to two cards and draw that many. Later, for {3}{R}{W} and a tap he becomes a Phoenix Saga that deals 2 damage to each opponent twice and returns creature cards from your graveyard to the battlefield.

Bitterthorn, Nissa's Animus is a legendary Equipment that creates a Germ and ramps when the equipped creature attacks. It is played in about one Quintorius deck in four, and it does nothing for the graveyard.

Pursue the Past costs {R}{W}: gain 2 life, then you may discard a card to draw two. It has flashback {2}{R}{W}, and casting it from the graveyard takes it out, which makes a Spirit. Two Quintorius triggers from one card.

White Orchid Phantom is a 2/2 flying, first strike Spirit for {W}{W} that destroys a nonbasic land when it enters. Most tables do not have a good target.

Ghost Vacuum costs {1}: {T} exiles a card from a graveyard, and your own cards leaving trigger Quintorius. For {6}, a tap and a sacrifice it puts each creature card it exiled onto the battlefield as a 1/1 flying Spirit. It is a graveyard engine that also makes Spirits.
