SERV · ANT · VIGI · LANT · ISM · MAGI · STER · IAL · ANTI · MONY · IMM · EDIA · CY · SPAR · TAN · BURG · OM · EL · ET · TE

SPARTANBURG is built by combining the tiles SPAR · TAN · BURG in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in SPARTANBURG early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
