Title: Illusions
Post by: Joshnoodles on May 21, 2013, 07:58:42 PM

Illusions

60 cards, 0 sideboard


4 {Cavern of Souls}
15 {Island}

19 lands


4 {Krovikan Mist}
3 {Æther Figment}
4 {Lord of the Unreal}
4 {Phantasmal Image}
4 {Phantasmal Bear}

19 creatures


3 {Mana Leak}
4 {Gitaxian Probe}
3 {Think Twice}
2 {Cryptic Command}
4 {Remand}
4 {Serum Visions}
2 {Spell Pierce}

22 other spells


Sideboard

Notes:
I'm not very familiar with modern so making this deck good is very hard for me. If you have any suggestion they will be happily taken. The main point of my deck is to copy lord of the unreal or krovikan mist to generate alot of board presence quick.

1. 2/2 for 2 isint good in modern. It's actually bad. Very bad.
2. Wanting to tap out on turn 2 turns off your mana leaks, I'd look at dipping into another color and stray away from counter spells. Modern has very good mana.

Tribal merfolk is also a deck like this and it's competitive.
But what's definatly missing is {Æther Vial}.
I would cut mana leak and 1 command for it.
I think {Gossamer Phantasm is better than  {Æther Figment}. Also - caverns +  {Mutavault}!!!

Merfolk and Elves are both tier 2.5 . A pro player could top with the deck, but it's not winning much and it would take A LOT of skill to play competitively against things like jund, zoo, infect, ad naseum , etc.
