Modern Deck Help forum

So i want to build a deck centered around stealing permanents with cards like Beguiler of Wills. Cards that i found did this are: Beguiler of Wills Cytoplast Manipulator Keiga, the Tide Star Roil Elemental Simic Manipulator Sower of Temptation and Willbreaker.
Which of these cards (or combination of cards) do you think would be the best for a working, but fun deck?
Also i had another idea in kind of the same category. What if i would have bad cards like Measure of Wickedness or Jinxed Idol and also things like Akroan Horse and as an engine Sky Swallower? The problem is that i haven't really found other cards like the Swallower. Any tips?
@Scouty it could be cool, but i don't have any Legacy playing friends so modern is kinda what i would like to go for.
One question though: Is Illusions of Grandeur legal in modern? Tapped out says so but Advanced card search says otherwise?

While the deck looks like a fun idea, you are going to be hard pressed to build a competitive deck. The strategy is quite slow, and some decks do not play creatures, or at least not much in the way of creatures.

Why steal creatures when you could just take their deck? #Shared Fate

You could just make it a casual legacy deck and play Donate + Illusions of Grandeur . That would fit the theme you're going for pretty well
