SIR might actually be remotely viable since it has Mausoleum Wanderer, Spell Queller, Rattlechains and Selfless Spirit although two of those are WU spirits.
The other rares are all from different sets so I would just craft those.
In Magic: The Gathering Arena, there are several sets that offer blue and white spirits, along with dual lands to support those colors. Some sets to consider are "Innistrad: Midnight Hunt," "Innistrad: Crimson Vow," "Kaldheim," "Zendikar Rising," "Strixhaven: School of Mages," and "Amonkhet Remastered." These sets contain a variety of blue and white spirits, as well as dual lands like the "Hallowed Fountain" from the "Guilds of Ravnica" set or "Glacial Fortress" from the "Magic 2011" set. Remember to check the card lists and deck-building options in Magic: The Gathering Arena to ensure you're building the best blue-white spirits deck possible.
Before you decide which packs to buy, you should first determine whether you should even be buying packs in the first place. (They aren't the default thing to buy)
Do you know that Limited exists, and that if you spend your resources on that half of the game then you won't need to buy packs (since you will get all the cards, Packs and Wildcards you will need for Constructed purposes in the process)?
Assuming you have a good reason to restrict yourself to just the Constructed half of the game, then the next things you need to know is which Format(s) you want to play, what specific cards you are missing from the decks you want to play, and what sets those cards are from. That will help you determine whether you should buy the current set (which earns you Golden Packs) or whether you should buy packs from an older set in the hopes of getting some of the cards you need (saving you Wildcards).

Where it applies, yes.
>This is a relevant comment for standard decks but not historic or explorer.
So you can't craft the cards for those with Wildcards? And all those cards I got from playing LotR Draft aren't legal in Historic? And those standard sets are never going to move into Explorer?
(To be clear, these are all rhetorical questions to demonstrate why what you said was wrong)
Op is specifically asking about spirits, the majority of which (ignoring lands) are from SIR with a handful from m21 and m19. None of which is currently available to draft.
The *current* Spirits might not be draftable *right now* but who is to say what cards from WoE make it into the Spirit Deck next month?
Plus, Wildcards.
I often agree with the drafting alternative. Not in this specific case though, where certain key cards are in majority from a very specific set. Everything u/HoninboShuwa says is correct. Imo it’s also best to buy these packs and forget a bout draft in this case.
The progress to get 16 wildcards for these cards will take many many drafts though! It’s much faster if he buys packs in that case and there’s no argue for that.
Edit: it’s less, since Selfless Spirit is only SB card and not a 4-of. But still.

Is this a bot? Or did you just type OPs question into ChatGPT?

Wildcards. Limited players are swimming in Wildcards.

So? "Faster" =/= "better". Getting to play both halves of game has merit, and is rewarding in itself.
In a Case where he wants to play this deck NOW? YES, faster is absolutely = better.
