Illusion Artifact, Aggro/Combo with a splash of mill. Based on user:Leafs_suck Grand Illusion

• Main Combo: Jace, Memory Adept + Jace's Phantasm + Tome Scour + buffs from Lord of the Unreal and Grand Architect

• +1/+1 Combo: Lord of the Unreal + Phantasmal Image similarly, Grand Architect + Phyrexian Metamorph

• Wurm Rush Combo: Wurmcoil Engine + Phyrexian Metamorph + Phantasmal Image

There's not really a lot of removal for blue, so I'm thinking why not just remove the threat before it reaches the hand?

Side board Explanations:

• Contagion Engine = if you want more removal for the deck. Also works with your planeswalkers, Jace or Tamiyo. Good for multiplayer match-ups.

• Hover Barrier = against aggro really, for defending, its good that it has flying and for multiplayer matches, they basically become a Wall of Denial with Lord of the Unreal

• Witchbane Orb = Its my answer against spells that target me, like red burns or black discards, despite the fact its a 4 cost, I can still cheat it out with Grand Architect, Switch out with Phyrexian Metamorph mostly because decks like those are more likely to have cheap creatures, its a waste to spend 4 mana on cheap creatures.

• Tamiyo, the Moon Sage = alternate planeswalker, mostly useful in large multiplayer matches which makes her ultimate beautiful

• Grafdigger's Cage = against people who have unearth/flashback or other graveyard shenanigans and because I'm really helping them via milling.

• Surgical Extraction = against combo decks, paying 2 life doesn't really matter, besides it easy to use because you mill them, and I have some Drowned Catacombs when ever I need to use them.
