Needs more phantasmal image. Also replace Turn Aside with Counterspell.

I'm not convinced this could be viable in any match up. It's just a bunch of blue control spells and the drakes are a very weak condition. I'd say the deck would merely make for a drawn out game that would end in horribly for the user. However control decks ARE very effective decks when built well. I might suggest adding a stronger win condition(either better creatures or mill). Also by adding black or white to the deck you open it up to some very good control spells that remove threats after they have been cast.

nope. The only way to prevent illusions from being killed is by preventing them from being targeted in the first place. Hexproof, Shroud, and any ability that says, "creatures/illusions cannot be the target of spells", is what you need.

Once the creature has been targeted, it is sacrificed. Redirect does not prevent an illusion from being sacrificed from being targeted.

It's a good start but i see several flaws. Inkwell Leviathan is a great card but certainly does not belong in a low CMC aggro deck like this. Call to Kindred is completely useless. Not sure why Redirect is in here either. Take those guys out and up your Counterspell and Ponder counts.

its cool that your trying to make a new format but i think this "format" just brings mtg down to Yugiohs level. having a seperate zone for lands and your library just means i could make a deck with 0 or 1 mana cost spells and get everything i wanted since its only a 40 card deck. if your looking for a new way to play magic i recommend planes chase or two-headed giant. they are much more refined and very fun. sorry if this criticism was a little rough but MTG Vault if for building decks... not formats. :I

nobody wants to click on a deck and see a ton of comments that have nothing to do with the game. seriously takes away from the experience of reviewing decks

Anyway really nice deck! i have always been a fan of control U/B control is my favorite. i just don't know about Beleren. he is good but if you have a mindfucker in hand than it would be kind of a waste. that's my only concern really though. sweet deck. and congrats on your placing. I wish i could have made it that far lol.

Thanks!
I took a gander at your deck and i really like it. I do have a few questions though.
- why 2 cackling counter part? it targets so the only thing you can get is lord or cryptoplasm.
- 4 cryptoplasm? wow and cool! i havn't seen that run a lot. how does it fair?

i also have a contention with unsummon. I like the idea of saving your own guys but you could only save lord or cryptoplasm. it might be worth taking a life if you only have those to save for the versatility of vapor on your opponent as well. that's my take at least.

anyway really nice deck. I hope you go far cuz illusions are freakin awesome!
