Need to play test it but I think I need some more Illusions if I want to take more advantage of {krovakian mist}.......considering adding 2 {adaptive automaton} or {mutavault}

{Mutavault} for sure. {Æther Figment}? It's a decent card, and has slight late game application. Maybe {Æther Vial}? Your creatures are low cost, and they'll be uncounterable, and you can save your mana for tempo/removal/counter.

Maybe {morphling} is you're feeling crazy. He'll get the {lord of the unreal} buffs and basically has vigilance and flying

I originally had {aether vial} included in this build but decided against it.

Might cost you quite a bit more, those from the vault packs are like $40 a piece. Lurk on eBay, I got 2 {mutavaults} for $40 for my merfolk deck.

Also, {Rhystic Study} is a very cool card, might put that in my deck instead of {Jace Beleren}

Yea I got my 👀 on a playset on eBay right now so we'll see.  {Rhystic Study} is one of those looked over cards that does not get a lot of play but it can really give you a huge card advantage or deter ppl from casting too much.....either way it's win-win.
