Lingering Souls
Lingering Souls is a lot less fancy than it
looks; it's mostly just really, really
efficient. It's in two colors with a lot of
effects that rely on creatures coming into play
and having lots of creatures in general, and
it's hard to stop with any of the conventional
countermeasures against either creatures or
spells. It also has the unusual distinction of
being banned in its block and legal everywhere
else - I think the only
other currently Modern-legal card in that
situation is Aether Vial.

Lingering Souls (6/28)
Three mana for two 1/1 flying tokens is good.
Five mana, in two installments, for four of them
is also good. Being able to pay this in
installments makes it amazing.
Lingering Souls was long considered a bogeyman
of Innistrad Standard because of synergy with
Intangible Virtue and the sheer value it
provides. Flashback makes it strong, and
white/black is a potent color combination with a
lot of fun tricks up its proverbial sleeve. It
plays well with white's fondness for going
"wide", and it's simply an excellent value at
every point in the game.
