I just thought of what to do to restore my cards, im gonna go back to U/W, however I'm going to stick with my heavy control theme and go

3 Essence Scatter

4 Negate

4 Dissipate

4 Redirect

For my control base

+4 Oblivion Ring

+4 Elite Inquisitor

+4 Doomed Traveler

+2 Glacial Fortress

The doomed traveler's would be just for turn 1 plays

I would put in some Phantasmal Image s if you have them (although they're rotating out as well in october). If you can play a Lord of the Unreal and then copy it with an Image you now have a hexproof Lord because it blankets itself with the effect even if the original Lord is removed somehow.

I would have to double image the Lord so that they would stay hexproof, but i'm not gonna spend 20-40 dollars on cards that are rotating in october, if they rotate back in I will definitely be getting them, but I doubt they will

12 counter spells is a little overkill. I wouldn't go more than 8 or 9.

Phantasmal Image is a must for Illusion decks to be good. Just such a staple.

Adding Talrand to this deck is also an interesting idea.

I run that many just because I don't have the money to put in the nicer cards, so instead of having a better battlefield, I just control theirs more haha, also I wanted Phantasmal Image soooo bad for soooo long but now I feel its too close to rotation to spend the 10 bucks a pop on him, so unless a miracle happens and illusions stay in Ravnica, he will move to the back burner so that I can work on my new My U/W Delver Control (Post-Rotation), also I really wanted/want 2 Talrands just because he is so incredible
