I forgot to post the sideboard so i will post it asap. This is moded illusionary might deck. If anyone can give me a few pointers that would be great. Thanks.

I would add a few more lord of the unreal and phantasmal images.

No budget specified, so I would play 4 {snapcaster mage}s.

Really?  There are only 8 possible targets for the mage.  Or is it the 2/1 flash for 1U?  He's great, but I'm not convinced there are enough instants and sorceries for him to have four.

I eat my words. I thought this was a standard illusions deck.

Um, maybe some {Stitched Drake}s?

Thanks. I want a replacement for yhe porcelains though any ideas.

Quezzle, is this the Event Deck, straight out the box?

No. I put in unsumon and ponder and gitaxian probe and brink of dispare and i took out four preordains cause they arent standerd anymore.

So i added another lord and another phantasmal dragon and took out two porcelains. Anything else?

You really have two options to go with this deck: Illusion aggro or Grand Architect. What do you choose?

I am running blue illusions with the architect in to strengthen them.   I have not had much trouble with this deck.

Do you want to use the big artifacts as well, i.e. {Steel Hellkite}?

I want to takee out steel hellkite and precursor golem cause they dont theme well but i need replacements other than more lords or phantasmal images.

More Architects?

Possibly. I am looking for some cards (standerd of course) that can help me bring back my illusion strengteners. Like {Brink of Despair}

Can you update the decklist to see what changes are in it?
Also, remove a land.

Okay will do updated deck list asap

Updated.  Thinking of putting in another mind controll for the {precursor golem} and i need something good (maybe another architect) in for the {Steel Hellkite}

Where is it? Put it in the standard forum and call it "Illusionary Power 2.0"

I'm pretty sure that if you make changes to a built deck, and click Gatherer again, it will update it in the top of this forum.

Yeah it just changed the decklist on this thread.

It did? I don't see any changes.

2 lords another phantasmal dragon. Not much but i am just really hoping for a replacement for {Steel Hellkite} and {Precursor golem} any ideas.

I would remove a card. This deck has 61 cards.

I know but i love 61 card decks. ;) its a little thing of mine.
I am just looking for the golem and hellkite replacementS now. Any ideas?

I really think that maxing out {Lord of the Unreal} would be good. When I go against illusions all I have to do is tap one with a {Gideon's lawkeeper} (a T1 drop) and it is gone, unless you have that card to keep them hex proof. The fact that Illusions die from a single target makes them pretty easy to take down unless you already have your defense set up.

Yeah. 4 lords but my budget cant afford 3 more phantasmal images :(
Maybe another grand architect?

That, or maybe another {back from the brink}? I personally go towards consistency in a deck so i tend to recommend getting duplicates of cards.

Also, could you add your sideboard?

Yes i will asap

Here's a sneaky workaround - buy 3 more event decks from Card Kingdom. They have the event decks for $15, while the Images are at $10. Sell off the remaining rates.

That is a good idea, I might do it myself to build up some good illusion cards.

If you're going to keep the Thopters and Adepts in there then I would play {Grad Architect}.

Just bought 4 {illusionary might} event decks :). The rares in it is so worth it.....I got em on Amazon cheaper after shipping.
