Some sort of Stifle effect would work, with trickbind being a cake in my mind, because of the rider that can be used to stop shenanigans such as the triskellion/Mikaeus combo

A couple of these effects could do the job. I'll think about where to put them

Tormod's Crypt and Relic of Progenitus can stop graveyard shuffling mechanics, as well as just be good in any deck normally.
They could but the arguments over timing nearly wouldn't be worth it
This just rules sir. I was toying with making a tribal spirit deck, and seeing this might have just pushed me into it. I had forgotten how devastating Celestial Kirin's ability is. Here's hoping to more good Spirits in Av. Restored!
How has this run for you? And may I suggest Hollowhenge Spirit? He is Kirin (and Elspeth's) mana-cost so that would mean destroying C.K. if he's not indestructible yet, but the flash is just really strong for a instant-speed wipe.

That is awesome. If You like the spirit/arcane synergy I'd encourage You to give something like this a try. These type of decks are a lot of fun. If You do decide to try it let Me know how it goes for You.

I've only done a small amount of testing with this 1. I've been more focused on My Skyfire Kirin and Cloudhoof Kirin decks. This deck is surprisingly powerful and manages to sneak under the radar a lot. People really seem to underestimate the power of the whole spirit/arcane synergy.
Hollowhenge Spirit seems like a really good addition. I'll have to make a spot for it.

Sorry to ask, but how are you going to add Hollowhenge Spirit to a mono blue EDH deck?
Otherwise, the deck looks fun. You'll probably need some more big mill cards though, like Traumatize and Sanity Grinding. Also Twincast and other copy effects will do well with these big mill cards. Basically, I'd go with a few less Spirits (ones that are generally useless like Teardrop Kami) and go with some non-Arcane/non-Spirit mill spells. Besides, you're not always going to have the luxury of having Cloudhoof Kirin out.
jester's cap can take care of those pesky eldrazi, and other shuffle effects.
also, with patron, i would suggest adding amulet of vigor and meloku, the clouded mirror. Those two in tandem are a powerhouse. add the amulet for horde beatings, and to empty your hand of land after a myojin.....

I'm not. That was going to go in My Celestial Kirin deck that had it's thread merged into here.

Myself and My best friend have scared most of Our regular play group off eldrazi with Bribery so I'm not too worried about that.
I know how powerful the Patron and Meloku can be together. I played a patron deck for a while.

davidboan has a Celestial Kirin deck link that now directs to this thread. My comments were for that deck.
As far as the Cloudhoof deck, it does look fun; Szadek is my mill general however. Keep up the good work david!
Szadek would be really cool for a mill general but if I were in those colours I'd have to go with Circu, Dimir Lobotomist.
Thanks mate. I'll get the Celestial Kirin deck reposted as soon as I can

I am just having an off day and I apologize for the pain in the ass it has been for you.
Don't worry about it mate. We all have a bad day occasionally. I'll get that Celestial Kirin reposted soon.
I think the deck could run better if you focus on milling yourself. Put out Laboratory Maniac and protect him with counter magic and you only have to worry about decking one person rather than spreading out your mills. You could also toss in Mirror-Mad Phantasm and some Clone effect to just mill your whole deck for the win.

I've seen the build in the database that Magnus Magicus posted that does that and it looked really cool but it wasn't the direction I wanted to go in.
