I love this card. I do agree Spirits need a new lord though. Seriously, no Spirit legend yet? Well, I do love what they've got so far. My favorite tribe from Innistrad hands down.
Momir Vig, Simic Visionary
Melek, Izzet Paragon
Oona, Queen of the Fae
Bruna, Light of Alabaster
Gisela, Blade of Goldnight
Rhys the Redeemed
Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord
Sen Triplets

So Judge's Familiar that can scale with flash or CoCo. The question I have then is if I have this on board and use Collected Company in response to their Instant or Sorcery and land 2 Spirits will it's +1/+1 triggers be able to be placed on the stack in such a way that I can Mana Leak their Instant or Sorcery

I keep seeing this idea. Wasn't geist of saint traft the spirit legendary creature? Am I just wrong about that? Have they said something about making another one?
People were under the notion that, because 4 tribes got a mythic allied pair legend over the two blocks that Spirits were going to get one out of fairness, forgetting that this did not happen the first time

Who cares about mythic or lord!? They just created one of the most OP standard decks that is going to ruin fun for next two years. 1-drops - this (an upgraded Cursecatcher) and Topplegeist, 2-drops - flying Dauntless Escort and flash-flying removal counterspell Rattlechains. Then you get counterspell Spell Queller and Bygone Bishop or the spirit the bounces other spirits. And we have hundred cards to get something else spoiled. Add Gideon, Essence Flux, Thunderclap Wywern, whatever. This deck just looks OP. And people are complaining about humans...

I have divined your fate. You shall find your nemesis, a catastrophic clash. Devastation, misery for all, the unleashing of horrible curses and ferocious powers. Ruin, such ruin that I dream each night of blessed peace, assured that the universe is in balance once more...
Having another tribal card for spirits should be enough to justify the archetype. This one is okay outside of spirits but down right busted with them. I can't wait to try it with lingering souls in modern.

2 this set is going to be the next new phyrexia (of how many playable cards in all formats are being printed)
Not that its an important but I'm pretty sure original Innistrad was the next New Phyrexia in regards to playables, and honestly I think it has more, a lot more. That set was loaded common through mythic affecting Modern, Legacy, and Vintage!
Edric, Spymaster of Trest decks are going to love this. The thing they want more than anything else are 1-drop creatures with strong evasion and the ability to counter spells.
The fact that Mausoleum Wanderer can even occasionally hit for more than 1 damage per attack phase pushes it from "amazing" to "mind-blowingly top-tier."
The counterspell spirit is a WAY better target for it.
But anyway, if you can pack your deck full of spirits, it becomes a really usefull trick (even flickering Avacyn might be cool enough).

Mono blue flyers is kind of a deck in standard allready (often with red) , so you might just go with more white flyers and you get a UW flyers deck that can allready dominate a lot of standard, which otherwise flood the ground, but hardly can interact with a ton of flyers and just die as they cannot block.
This little guy here will simply prevent the important Languish or other mass removal against you, and if that happens, the Air Force will win the game unopposed (especially if you can also counter a lot of stuff with the new UW spirit and Avacyn counters removal spells aswell).
Shouldnt be too difficult to make a working shell.
May even be vaguely plausible in Modern with a creature base looking something like the below, which has the potential to be incredibly annoying with all of the hexproof and quasi-hexproof, pump, flash and creature tapping.

Cards I still want to see created:
|| Olantin, Lost City || Pavios and Thanasis || Choryu ||
I could see Modern Spirits being a halfway decent deck.

DISCLAIMER: So far there aren't many spirits balls-to-the-wall Edric might actually want to run. It's basically Mothdust Changeling, Rattlechains, Phantasmal Image, Strangleroot Geist, and occasionally Phyrexian Metamorph.

4x Mausoleum Wanderer

2x Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit
3x Niblis of the Urn
4x Rattlechains
3x Drogskol Captain
2x Geist of Saint Traft
2x Kira, Great Glass-Spinner
That could be infinitely hilarious and trolly... and if need be, mass bounce could be used to re-use your creatures.
