<p>I realise this post might be broad, but I’m struggling to find cards to beat an Aggro spirit deck. I’m playing green tron and my opponent has a spirit deck which with the flyers is taking me down too much by the time I get my tron lands down. </p>

<p>Are there any modern cards that will help destroy a spirit deck aiming to get many Spirits down which boost each other? </p>

<p>Or if Tron isn’t the right deck, what decks work well vs a spirit deck?</p>

Without knowing much about deck building, my immediate thought was [Hurricane](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=129885).

Closest modern legal card I can think of is scapeshift, but at 4 times the cost may not be worthwhile

Mana Vault isn't legal in anything but Vintage and Commander.  If you're playing Vintage, your deck is missing some power 9

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-12-13)

I realise this post might be broad, but I’m struggling to find cards to beat an Aggro spirit deck. I’m playing green tron and my opponent has a spirit deck which with the flyers is taking me down too much by the time I get my tron lands down.

Are there any modern cards that will help destroy a spirit deck aiming to get many Spirits down which boost each other?

Or if Tron isn’t the right deck, what decks work well vs a spirit deck?

Two cards you are already running 1x that you may want more of vs Spirits in particular:

* [Endbringer](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bEndbringer%5d): for pinging small spirits (and Noble Hierarch)
* [All is Dust](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bAll%20is%20Dust%5d): for one-sided board wipes

Other cards that often show up in Tron that you may want to consider:

* [World Breaker](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bWorld%20Breaker%5d): reach and removal; you already have the green to cast it.
* [Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bUlamog%2c%20the%20Ceaseless%20Hunger%5d): a finisher with a good effect on cast
* [Ugin, the Spirit Dragon](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bUgin%2c%20the%20Spirit%20Dragon%5d): either recurring removal or spot removal and a damage sink
* [Wurmcoil Engine](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bWurmcoil%20Engine%5d): a beater that gains you life
