Spirit Squadron is a preconstructed Commander deck headed by the ghostly good, Millicent, Restless Revenant. The deck has some awesome, new-to-Commander cards, and some much-appreciated reprints.
But maybe you don’t want to spend $35.00 on the whole deck. Maybe you just want a few choice single cards. That’s fine! Here are some of the best single cards you can buy from the deck!
Best New Card to Buy From Spirit Squadron
Donal, Herald of Wings
Wizards of the Coast -
Wizards of the Coast
This is the Volo, Guide to Monsters of flying tribal, and at the time of this article, Donal is only $1.00+. Making copies of your flyers can double up on “enters the battlefield” (ETB) abilities like Panharmonicon. But you can also double up on your Selfless Spirit‘s and Consecrated Sphinx‘s.
Donal, Herald of Wings, is perfect for flying commanders like Inniaz, the Gale Force or Kangee, Sky Warden.
But Donal can make a great Commander on his own. You can evoke Mulldrifter to draw four cards. Or play Peregrine Drake to untap ten lands. Or get an extra Glen Elendra Archmage to counter an opponent’s spell.

Storm of Souls

Storm of Souls is a fantastic mass-reanimation effect in mono-white. You can get every creature back from your graveyard at once. And although your creatures come into play as 1/1 Spirits, they do maintain all of their abilities.
This is a great inclusion for Commander decks like Teysa, Orzhav Scion or Nethroi, Apex of Death which focus on putting creatures in the graveyard.

Wizards of the Coast
Disorder in the Court is an interesting “blink” effect with many applications. (Blink refers to abilities that exile a creature and put it back into play, often used to retrigger ETB abilities.) This spell can blink as many creatures as you have mana. And in addition to retriggering the ETBs of all of your creatures, you get a Clue token for each creature.

Best Reprints to Buy From Spirit Squadron
Swords to Plowshares
Not much needs to be said about Swords to Plowshares. It’s one of the most powerful removal spells ever printed. It is a staple in Legacy and Commander. Now it’s back, but this time with beautiful new art by Jesper Ejsing.
We can never get enough reprints of Plowshares. It’s played in so many Commander decks, so it’s important that its price stays low. And at the time of this article, this copy is selling for about $1.50 on TCGPlayer.

Hallowed Spiritkeeper is played in a variety of Commander decks beyond just spirit decks like Millicent, Restless Revenant. It’s particularly great in sacrifice decks like Teysa Karlov, Extus, Oriq Overlord, and Kykar, Wind’s Fury.
