Blue Aggro... Help Me Prove them Wrong!

4 Phantasmal Bear
4 Lord of the Unreal
4 Grand Architect
4 Mana Leak
3 Disperse
4 Phantasmal Dragon
3 Ponder
3 Adaptive Automaton
2 Trinket Mage
3 Phantasmal Image
1 Phyrexian Metamorph
3 Memnite

38 Cards + 22 Land (Maybe 36/24?)

Sideboard:
4 Hex Parasite
2 Phyrexian Metamorph
1 Memnite
1 Ponder
2 Trinket Mage
1 Disperse

I'm a rather new player who started with little to no knowledge on the game. So I need some help please!

Opinions on this? I need some constructive criticism and feedback please! My place to play on Fridays is rather high-level so I want this to count!

THANKS A TON

it would be good to put spellskite here to protect your Lord of the Unreal...

and also put some big creatures to fully utilize Grand Architect's mana ability like Wurmcoil Engine or Steel Hellkite...

hope this helps

I love Metamorph, it's a wicked strong card... and, unfortunately, it's not an Illusion. Personally, I'd take it out for a fourth Image so that you can consistently get the Lord/Image combo on the field. Also, Trinket Mage and Memnite really don't fit in the deck all that well for the same reason: not Illusions and they don't help the rest of the deck. Maybe go up to four on Ponder and Automatons and put in more land? Get some Spellskites because, even though they aren't Illusions either, they are VERY effective protection?

I've seen Illusion decks run, they're pretty awesome. :) Good luck!

Thanks guys I appreciate it. Will do, I figured I was having a hard time coming up with enough creatures to make the deck beatface, seems like an obvious choice though.

NOT True, if you copy an illusion with Metamorph, Metamorph is an illusion. That and the fact that it can copy anything makes it one of the strongest cards in the deck. I do agree that you should max out Phantasmal Image as it is the best card in the deck.

Memnite and trinket mage are really weak cards in the deck. They would be good if you could overrun but as is in mono blue, they do little.

As you play mostly creatures I would suggest running 4xLead the Stampede. It's increadible card advantage and just what you need for a deck that wants to be aggro. I've played against mono blue illusions and so far I'm not impressed. Dipping green might change that.
