The illusion of power

by Kazzong on 07 May 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Enchantments (4)

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

not a particularly powerful deck I guess, but I have always wanted to see a viable illusion deck, and this is what I came up with.

any help would be awesome. :)

Help wanted: Is mistform warchief good enough to run main board?

How to Play

the whole concept is to flood the board with creatures, and play ixidron, and then play veiling oddity for it's suspend cost. :) wasn't to be a real jerk then ruin xenograft and play lord of the unreal later than ixidron, and cover everything with hexproof, even after they have been flipped.

Deck discussion for The illusion of power

looks good, i would definitely add Aether Vial and Cavern of souls, they just seem very powerful here plus maybe thassa, and manaleak/Remand should do well definitely. Also, i would go with the phantasmal dragon over the Ixidron since he is a 5/5 for 4 all the time and doesn't switch off your other creatures. maybe also some combination of Gitaxian Probe/serum Visions

What I like about ixidron is that he also flips my opponent's creatures as well. Hence the sudden spoiling and ego erasure. :). I will certainly look at your suggestions as well, but mostly I was trying to keep this deck fairly simple.

If you want black card suggestions, here they are:

Aqueous Form + instant/sorcery with cipher. Nuff said.

If you want a deckbuilding suggestion, here it is - listen to these songs while working:
