Deck discussion for Illusion Tribal

Seems nice, but wondering why no redirects? and perhaps Spellskites instead of Wurmcoil?

Well, because neither redirect or spellskite can save an illusion from the sacrifice it would really only protect lord of the unreal. Maybe redirect or spellskite, but both seems unnecessary. Also Wurmcoil / grand architect is basically a fallback if you can't get lord of the unreal to protect the rest of the deck. But redirect might be something to consider to protect the Lord.

From what I've been reading, the general consensus (using that term loosely, it is very debated) is that Spellskites/Redirects do indeed save illusions. I think the logic behind this is that the redirection of the targeting is an action that goes on the stack on top of the original targeting, thus resolving before the illusion is targeted. So basically the controller chooses what the opponent is targeting, and hence the illusion is never targeted.
