Deck discussion for Standard Illusions

Maybe drop your spellskites down to 2 or 3. They don't save your illusions. Redirect won't save them either. Phantasmal Image is one of the best ways to keep your creatures hexproof, just copy LotU. Consider adding more draw, or my personal favorite-grand architect and wurmcoil engine. Adaptive Automaton is somewhat lackluster in Illusion decks, not bad but not great.

I haven't play-tested yet, and I know Spellskite doesn't save it. But hot damn, it'll save the hell out of my Lord Of The Unreal. I thought about Grand Architect and Wurmcoil, but then it'd be everyone else's illusion deck. I'm not trying to build a cookie cutter mold of other decks. However, thank you for your input, as I appreciate it.

4 copies of the skite is too much. You'll end up drawing spellskites when you want dragons or other stuff. You have plenty of ways to protect your lord, probably too many.

nice but keep in mind that the only creature you control that your phyrexian methamorph and your phantasmol image can copy is your lord of the unreal cause if you taget your other creatures they will die...

Or I could target some creature they control. Also, Adaptive Automaton is fair game.

Metamorph does not kill illusions if it copies them. It doesn't target anything.

TheElSalvador: I just reread the card, and yeah. It doesn't contain the word "target" on it. So my illusions will be fine. Woo hoo.

I would suggest dropping the two xenographs for two grand architects. The garauntee +1/+1 to your blues is worth more than turning your lord of the unreal into illusion creatures imo.
