Hmm, other than being on the expensive side, there are a few things you could improve. I'm seeing some anti-creature cards, but i don't see it as being enough to keep you alive while you slowly work them down, That brings me to my second point. I don't see how you would win with this deck. Sure, Elesh Norn will do it but you cant rely on getting a card that you only have one of. what happens if you go up against say a black-red deck. They will undoubtably have more muscle than you, might not be wholly dependent on creatures to win, and can at probably kill your creatures as fast as they come out. What this deck needs is either some muscle or some subtlety. You can use cards like glorious anthem to give your hawks and spirits some badly needed strength, or go with debtors knell and more direct kill cards as opposed to exile cards. Subtlety can be achieved with combos like lightmine fields and gideon. or with gideon and safe passage to allow you to focus your defenses on taking down a powerful creature.

You don't know how you would win with this deck? It's essentially cawblade but slightly more based on clogging the board with blockers and still flying over their heads with a sword or with a swarm of 1/1s. Gideon, Sun Titan, and Elesh Norn give you reach, while Lingering Souls and Squadron Hawks give you inevitability. You don't win with sheer power, you win with finesse. The goal is to never over extend, playing 1 set of spirits, 1 hawk at a time and keeping card advantage in your favor. So far it has shown a good match up against Modern Infect, UW Delver/Geist decks, Jund, and Living End through inevitability of your card advantage and hate in the board. So far I've noticed huge issues with the RDW match up and other control decks. But this can Grind down games if played correct'y control so I see it as bad draws and bad plays rather than a downfall of the deck. I would love to have the lands I need for this deck so I can see it at it's finest but that will take another $200 or so.
