Deck discussion for Geist Blade

Is this deck tested. I find it hard to believe this could win many games.

Might want to swap out Mirran Crusaders for blade splicers to deal with liliana's sac effect. If I were you I'd also sideboard ghost quarter and put in some Moorland Haunts. I'd definitely cut mind control, it's great in draft but I don't think it's that strong in constructed. Lastly I really like gitaxian probe over think twice since it's a manaless cantrip that lets you see what your opponent has.

Thanks for the advice, I have a couple questions. I know the value of blade splicer but in a more aggro(UW, WG, GR) FNM setting wouldnt Mirran crusader be better? I havent seen many Solar Flare decks around my area yet.

And I understand your reasoning for gitaxian probe. but isn,t the ability to feign mana leak and draw a card EOT just as valuable?

Moorland haunt was an option but I was think I wouldnt want to get rid of the Crusaders due to Sun titan. Also Mind control should probably be a Volition Reins due to the amount of Elspeths in the area or another Day.

If you're not running into liliana or sac effects then yeah you can definitely keep the crusaders. Especially since it sounds like you're up against a fair amount of green and everyone runs dismember. Since it looks like most every deck you're playing against has white or red in it you may want to consider running more swords of war and peace and siding your feast and famines.
I'm personally not a fan of volition reign for this deck since it's so slow and a very reactive spell that's not instant speed. Not to mention it's useless if you don't have a good target for it. If you want a bomb type card like that maybe put in an Elesh Norn. Norn blows up elspeth's tokens and most of the little creatures in fast aggro decks if you're games stalls. Not to mention she GGs inkmoth nexus.
I'm personally still a fan of probe for the utility of seeing their hand and the fact that it can be manaless. Plenty of people run think twice though, just play to your preference.
You dont have to use your moorland haunts if you have a sun titan in your hand. If you were just hit by a wrath effect though or someone doom bladed your sun titan, it's a nice utility option and a good sword body.
With the amount of artifacts and enchantments seeing play in standard right now I'd probably put 2 revoke existence in my sideboard and lower my kemba and relic warder count to 2.

Thanks again, all that made a lot of sense. After some testing I really think you're right about Elesh Norn. I think I want her in deck or another Sun Titan. Sphinx is another option but that would make the deck a bit top heavy.

I'll have to dig out my probes and test those out as well.
