Tribal blue illusion deck with a splash of UB. I designed it for FFA, but I can switch in some of the sideboard to make it more aggro in 1v1.

Opening: Hover Barrier and other cheap spells for early game control.

Midgame: Mostly sets up the Lord of the Unreal + Phantasmal Image and beefs the illusions further with Favorable Winds, Paragon of Gathering Mists , and Obelisk of Urd. Krovikan Mist can also overwhelm with large enough numbers.

Endgame: Cyclonic Rift + Whispering Madness (overloaded) sets up the endgame, though either of them is powerful in its own right. Dismiss into Dream + Krovikan Mist can work as well.

Control: Includes a decent amount of counterspells and return-to-hand spells, especially Soul Manipulation to bring back Lords and images of them. Leyline of Anticipation can also be a very good way to (con)troll the board, for example with instant-speed buffs to creatures much like green does.

Subthemes: Mill subtheme to power Jace's Phantasm, flying subtheme, and deck digging subtheme with Halimar Depths + Meloku the Clouded Mirror + Temple of Deceit . Slight lifegain subtheme with Pristine Talisman and Whip of Erebos.

I appreciate any thoughts or suggestions in the comments.
