Hi everyone, I just made a new blue deck with illusions. Other than merfolk, they seem to be a very good tribe for aggro control. Muddle the mixture lets me tutor for my lord and image. Any feedback? Creatures:22 4x Lord of the Unreal  4x Adaptive Automaton  4x Phantasmal Image  4x Phantasmal Bear  4x Phantasmal Dragon  2x Krovikan Mist  Spells:16 4x Preordain  2x Ponder  2x Gitaxian Probe  4x Counterspell  2x Muddle the Mixture  2x Mana Leak  Lands:22 4x Halimar Depths  18x Island

Whenever I see a fast  creature-heavy deck, I always think Grand Architect  !!! A fast, ramp, with Wurmcoil Engine  is always the nuts!! You should also try Imaginary Pet  . It works well with the lord. Nice deck idea!!

Well, I can solve your Grand Architect problem whilst also getting you a very good card instead of your Counterspell . Take out both Counterspell s, and Mana Leak . Instead of your Counterspell , add four Mana Drain  s. And instead of those Mana Leak s, put in two Grand Architect s. Now, this solves that problem, but here's an entirely new problem: Your Lord of the Unreal says that other Illusion creatures get +1/+1 and hexproof, but all your Illusion creatures say destroy them when they become the target of a spell or ability. Wouldn't Lord of the Unreal be targetting them with his ability??? Just sayin.

No because it is all in the wording, Lord of the Unreal 's effect does not use the word target. He is meant to take the illusions' drawback away. He keeps your opponents from targeting them (thus killing them) with hexproof.

I guess it solves the architect problem, but playing four Mana Drain s does cause a "Should I spend over $400 on four cards for a casual deck" problem XD
