My standard tournament deck. It was inspired by all those on tappedout.net who created a 'Grand Illusions' deck before me. This is simply my take on it.

It's faired pretty well against most other decks in my local metagame. Card choices are as follows:

Illusions: Four of each except for dragons, which are great win-cons, only when I get a lord or two out.

Supporting Creatures: Grand Architect and Treasure Mage obviously fit the deck. Phyrexian Metamorph is very versatile, copying anything I need from my lords, my win-cons, or my opponents'.

The Big Guns: I like being able to find the right artifact with Treasure Mage depending on the situation. Wurmcoil Engine is an obvious choice. Steel Hellkite takes care of token decks and the like. Mindslaver Can either stall for time with Buried Ruin, or finish games depending on when it's used. Lastly, Batterskull is just a great card when it comes to board wipes and removal, and works ridiculously well with Grand Architect.
