A tweak I made to the M12 Blue Event deck which was standard legal. Adaptive Automaton chooses "Illusion" and thus becomes Hexproof via the Lord of the Unreal, and Phantasmal Image comes into play as a copy of the Lord as well to make himself Hexproof and +1/+1. Having it come into play as a copy of the Frost Titan is also entertaining. Sideboard for the meta at the time of that deck existing in standard format.
