MTG Salvation

I'm building this blue illusion deck. Illusions are really strong, particularly when it's backed by Lord of the Unreal. The whole deck is basically untargetable (hexproof), which would give a big trouble for many opposing decks. Also, it has Meloku the Clouded Mirror as a finisher.

Thoughts everyone?

3 Phantasmal Bear
3 Labyrinth Guardian
4 Lord of the Unreal
3 Phantasmal Dragon
2 Meloku the Clouded Mirror

4 Neurok Stealthsuit

4 Negate
2 Imprisoned in the moon
4 Mana leak
4 Counterspell
3 Into the roil

24 Island

First off congrats on play my favorite "tribe" illusions! A few things I noticed was the lack of phantasmal imagewhich happens to be one of the best ones when you copying lord of the unreal as the copy will retain the type of illusion in addition to being a 3/3 hexproof that boosts your team. Fortunately they just got a reprint in Modern Masters 2017 for about $2 - $3 each. I advise you buy them as singles due to the inflation on the pack sales, being about $10 bucks a pop. Also you can go a little lighter on counterspells if you use monastery siege and declare "dragons" it will let you play a little more aggressive without always having mana up to just protect your efficient threats.

Hope this was helpful

This is my illusion deck. Aggro, bounce, draw.
Curfew is here for added protection for your own creatures.
You can always use vapor snag if you prefer.
Illusory angel + gitaxian probe, gush, or snap is nice.
I was not aware that phantasmal image has been reprinted! Thanks

Wow, if I used Phantasmal Image to copy Lord of the Unreal then it becomes hexproof too? This sounds really really good.

Neurok Stealthsuit was aimed to protect the Lord of the Unreal. In this case, I could replace the suit with Phantasmal Image ?

Thanks guys.

This is my current deck lineup. Also, I heard about this card recently Glaring Spotlight Do you think it deserves a place in the deck? I am thinking may be -1 from Into the Roil and Muddle the Mixture ?

Quickling has the effect that you are looking for. Since it doesn't target, you can evacuate the creature. Also flying. But returning a creature is mandatory...

You might be able to do with less than 24 land.

I like Psionic Blast in aggressive blue decks.

Hmmm Quickling vs Into the Roil . Which one would be a better synergy?

I found this card Familiar's Ruse who seems like a good fit to replace Quickling and Into the Roil . It allows the deck to counter target spell whilst saving the illusions.

You probably need Aether Vial for competitive play.
