Supreme Phantom

Color of the Spirit Token Lord

Hello, if most spirit tokens are white and white has more spirits than any other colour why is there lord (Supreme Phantom) blue?

Blue is a close second to white in Spirits, and sometimes the number two color gets a lord.

Tribal Support Strategy

Why does sometimes powerful/efficient tribal support appear in sets/standard that are mostly absent of members of the tribe (Examples: Utvara Hellkite in Return to Ravnica as powerful support and Supreme Phantom in core set 2019 as a very efficient lord)? Not complaining, just curious whether its a deliberate strategy to allow pushing the support for a given tribe.

Tribal can be pushed for limited, tournament constructed or casual constructed or a combination. We mix it up based on the needs of the tribe, the world and the set.

Supreme Phantom Inclusion

I'm a little confused as to the presence of Supreme Phantom in Core 19. There are only 4 spirit cards I'm standard right now and only 3 (including Supreme Phantom) in Core 19 itself. Only 1 other spirit out of these is blue. Unless a spirit anthem effect is somehow hinting at a blue spirit theme showing up in Ravnica, why was Supreme Phantom included as a rare in Core 19? It seems like a card that sends the wrong message in limited.

We worry about what message Commons and Uncommons have towards limited and give Rares and Mythic Rares a pass as they are more about various constructed formats.
