Deck discussion for Illusions, Assassins, and Shapeshifters

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE me some Icy Assassins, but the speed is a little short of manageable in today's game. However, if you can manage to cut the deck count to 60 by trimming some fat (includingone Icy), you may find that the reliability will be incredibly more manageable.

For example, you could afford to lose Turn to Frog without batting an eye, Assassinate since you plan on using Vinny for it anyway (that's what I've always called the Assassin), even Numbing Dose is slightly out of place just because of it's mana cost. Finding ways to cut corners would make this deck insanely faster and more consistent. Look to cut down your curve, see if you can try to not have anything higer than a CC of 4. I think you'd be more than pleased with the results.

Hope these ideas help. Should you have a chance, I welcome any comments you could offer my Black Hole deck (http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=345027). I'm trying to check it off my list and shelf it as my goto casual build. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
