Ive had a few games where I blow the opponent away with only 2 lands early and a 3rd land turn 5 or so. I wish I could take out another land but I feel like I'd end up short too often. Its a really cheap deck to build so you should give it a shot. I'm hoping the new sets have some nice illusion stuff to work with...I feel like they wouldn't drop a card like lord of unreal if they weren't going to follow it up with a new illusion or 2 to work with.

This deck runs really smooth and I don't have too much mana. I know that the spellskites don't protect most of my illusions, but it does protect the lord of the unreal and aether figments. It's also a cheap 0/4 blocker and can keep me from taking heavy burn damage. I thought about grand architect but its a bit unnecessary since I have a ton of pump...I'll probably add them in replacement of the aether figments when the zendikar block rotates out. I went 3-1 two weeks in a row at FNM and I beat some tournament decks so I suggest giving this deck a shot. Thanks for the feed back.
