This is the type of deck that I wanted to build a long time ago. The synergy among architects, illusions and mighty artifact/artifact creatures is just amazing. I used to have problems with opponent's annoying creatures so I upgraded deck with two black removals. And when black appeared I added Essence Harvest as well. I think this is really nice card suitable in every deck with big creatures. One small comment. I used to play with Phantasmal Dragon, but then I found Illusory Angel. I think this is far better flying illusion then dragon. You can play it for 3 CMC together with Gitaxian Probe and it does not have the illusion disability.
