Illusion please help

Main Deck (65 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Ok so I only run red or black I hate hate hate blue but after being mana leaked to death over the past few years I'm deciding to try it. I know I need snap caster mages but right now can't afford it. Any Tweeks would be welcome.

Deck discussion for Illusion please help

id say more spellskites with so many illusions

though i warn you theres a guy in my meta that plays strictly illusions and i gideons lawkeeper him hardcore then just o ring or fiend hunter his lord of the unreal

so id suggest going red blue tempo, i played a guy and he actually out aggrod me with the delver and the 3/3 wearwolf for 1
also it gives you allot more creature removal

Spellskite wont save your illusions because when they target your illusion before you can even spellskite it the sac ability goes on the stack

here i put together a list of cards, if i were you id make a deck out of these, pure illusions i find to be too slow and easy to take care of

also yes obviously snapcaster would be amasing but i read your description sooooo...
but i think this would make a verry fnm worthy deck

With the few illusion decks I've faced, Phantasmal Dragon is completely useless. Also since when has Snappy (or any other card for that matter) been a 'must have'? There are no 'must haves' in Magic, just cards that will work very nicely. Because of the Phantasmals' weakness, why not add in 3 or 4 Elixer of Immortality? Also Swiftfoot Boots can help protect the non Phantasmal creatures. I'd also use Stoic Rebuttal over Negate. The hard counter is (in my experience) much better than circumstantial counter and you do have a chance at the metalcraft.
