Bellz76 brought up Spirit Bonds in the comments on another one of my decks. It didn't really work for that deck, but it seemed like an interesting enough card to try to brew around. The scheme here is spam spirits with the Obelisk of Urd for some spooky beat down.
Spirit Bonds is a token churner, Triplicate Spirits is here to pile on.Obelisk of Urd makes all of your tokens 3/3 flyers.Disowned Ancestor and Baleful Eidolon are cheapy spirits so you have the free mana to pay for the Spirit Bond token. They also provide some defensive stance.Accursed Spirit and Geist of the Moors have some evasion for offensive purposes.Eidolon of Countless Battles is the main win con getting beefy off the token spam. Bestowed onto the Geist or Accursed is even better to get the evasion.Devouring Light is removal you can pay for with your tokens leaving mana free to pay for more tokens.Dictate of Erebos turns Spirit Bonds into saying 1W Sacrifice a Spirit; Each opponent sacrifices a creature (Since we are losing the indestructible bit with no non-spirit creatures this creates a way to get some value out of that second ability). The dictate also turns Baleful Eidolon into a card that will get two for one.

I have a few concerns...... What would the ideal draw be? An opening hand of the Spirit Guide and the Ancestor... Turn 1 Scoured Barrens, Turn 2 land- Guide, Turn 3 land- Ancestor (or Baleful Eidolon)\ Spirit Token... turn 4 land- Geist\ spirit token- swing with 1 token, turn 5 land- bestow Eidolon of CB\ spirit token- swing for 10 and 2 tokens? But this isn't missing any land drops, and having all the cards... It just feels fragile. Additionally, it's going to take forever to get the Triplicate Spirits online... and all the while, you're opponent is doing stuff and we have very little interaction with them. Sure, if we can get the guide online AND get the Dictate out, it's pretty awesome... but turn 5 is so far away... and with only 2 Dictates, you have to hope to have it\ find it... or if we get the Obelisk, it's still turn 4? Personally, I don't think the token generation is the key to this card. I think you're on the right path by playing other spirits, but there should be other creature types that will benefit the other half of the card... something like a threat the opponent needs to answer- that sacking a spirit to protect it becomes useful. Or you make it a Duneblast effect... sac a token, End Hostilites, and swing... I'm not sure where to go from here yet either, but just wanted to leave my thoughts....

Here's my early attempt: http://www.mtgvault.com/bellz76/decks/abzan-bonds/
Yeah, a lot of what I'm using the vault for is brainstorming. Helps me get it visually put together then use the sample draws to try to see where it is going and of it can be tweaked to something being worth building. I haven't spent much time on this one yet since the initial brainstorm to see if it can be tweaked better or if it is destined to be sac'd. Checked out yours, I like the ascendancy synergy. I hate trying to play three colors in a deck, so I've yet to really embrace khans.
Love this synergy, and the idea. Something that helps both might be Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit. She helps to buff your non-token creatures. Because your running B/W Lingering souls might be better, in mana cost and synergy of color, than Triplicate spirits. And any of the Ghost councils (all spirits) would probably be fun.
