The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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.
Pretty much a mashup of the DotP 14 Mind Break concept, with a more Legacy-esque fish style aggro/control shell.
You pretty much want to drop illusions, beefing them up with your lords. Phantasmal Image is there to create an Illusion of the illusion lord, thus giving himself hexproof and +1/+1, nearly making your field untouchable. If need be, you could always just Phantasmal Image your opponents biggest threat and make him tiptoe while you set up your aggro board. There are also enough counterspells in the deck to either stall the board until you set up, or control the board after the setup. Either way, once you're set, you're golden.

Hmmm, If your playing legacy blue, illusions are the wrong tribe to roll with. Just saying. Anyway it looks fine.

I meant to throw casual in the tag, have no idea why I put legacy.
This seems to be in the position however even of a very strong aggro deck for casual. I know because I've built casual decks with dark ritual and skull clamp, and learned the hard way that what is and what is not casual depends on the playgroup but if you bring something to strong to the group, it may start an arms race, and then people are playing reanimator decks with turn one jin gitaxis, isochron silence, and tournament quality merfolk legacy decks. I guess i blew up my casual environment awhile back so I keep just harp on everyone who says their deck is casual, when it looks to strong. Well ignore my gloom and doom I don't know your casual environment.
Well honestly, I have run reanimator, esper stone blade, combo elves and other such legacy decks, just without the hundred dollar bills in them at the kitchen table heh. I try and encourage people I play with to play quick and aggressively. It makes it more fun for me in the long run I imagine.
In my casual environment we like long games of move and countermove. Also there is this one douchebag who play exclusively aggro decks and doesn't own a deck with anything above a 3 drop (except his edh deck which is kalia of the vast so more aggro). But i digress, I suppose aggro itself isn't douchey, its just our casual environment has a warped meta because of one turd. more importantly, you play zero cost counters on your kitchen table? so janky.
Lol we like to keep to the legacy play style, but we just can't afford the best cards from the format. Honestly that's the only reason we don't play tournaments. That, and liquor always improves the social aspect of the game... And I think that's frowned upon in a tournament setting haha. For real though, theres a dude in my play group making a legacy fish deck, and starting his set of True-Name Nemesis tonight. We like to compete, we just can't afford to at tournament level. And foils are a staple in my groups mono blue control, and even reanimator for the added bonus of pitching Jin. They're too cheap to pass up, especially with their synergy with Daze. Which is also pretty cheap as well.
