Illusionary Might Enhanced

Why the grand architect?

Pumps up your Illusions and lets you accelerate into big artifacts.

This deck has no big artifacts

I couldn't agree more. Should I take Grand Architect out or put some artifacts in?

Myr Battlesphere and Blightsteel Colossus do come to mind.

You don't want to use any equipment, for obvious reasons.

Oh no no no...... Grand architect only works with big artifacts. I suggest you split this deck into two. One that only uses illusions, and another which only uses grand architect. That way, you can get the full value for both these archetypes

Hey Bernardcs! I saw you at MTGSalvation. So yeah, check out those guides.

I still like Grand Architect for it's lord effect. You can take them out but I still like them.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa that grand architect is great for a mono blue aggro deck, maybe throw in some adaptive automaton too and he needs some of those stitched drakes for making more use of the graveyard

Grand Architect will boost your team, AND can help you power out the Adaptive Automaton.  Two for one!

I must tell you, i'm a little too broke now.

I found some cards i own that maybe we can add it to the deck:

2 x Neurok Invisimancer
2 x Turn the Tide
1 x Phyrexian Metamorph
1 x Arm with Aether
1x Vapor Snag
1 x Mental Misstep
2 x Psychic Barrier

What do you think?

And some artifacts as well:
1 x Copper Carapace
1 x Phyrexian Juggernaut
4 x Razorfield Rhino
3 x Perilous Myr
1 x Bladed Pinions
1 x Sylvok Lifestaff
1 x Livewire Lash

Mental Misstep would be a great add!
Phyrexian Metamorph would work well with your Grand Architect
Psychic Barriers wouldn't hurt either.

Just remember, Illusions and equipment don't mix.   

So, what should I take out?

Sorry for the trouble, i'm really a newbie when it comes to MTG. Thanks for the tips.

Maybe a Mind Control and an Aether Adept or two.  You do want to keep one or two pieces on equipment to give your Lord of Unreal hexproof though.

Thanks for the help! I'll try it out and give you guys a feedback later.

I insist that you build one deck around lord of the unreal and another separate one for grand architect. Only being able to use half of it's abilities most of the time is undermining the value of it. I am not saying it doesnt work at all, I'm claiming that there are better uses for it. I will post a deck list here sometime
