Mirror Image

Creature — Shapeshifter

You may have Mirror Image enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature you control.

Balaam__ on Mill them ALL BWHAHAHA

There are…some problems here.

Everything emboldened in red is illegal in Standard, there is no official format where a deck can have 4x Sol Rings, one creature with the capacity to Mill (or two if you count Mirror Image) makes it extraordinarily unlikely you will ever mill anything, and probably the most noticeable issue present is that your opponent will have what amounts to several free turns in the opening portion of the game to build a boardstate unmolested.

There is an infinitesimally small percent chance you will be able to play anything Turn 1, or even Turn 2. You are 100% required to chain rituals and/or rings in order to cast any creatures, and you are literally unable to play any of your creatures Turn 1.

If I were to recommend a fix it would be to substantially increase your land count, drop most of your creatures over 4 mana and replace them with ones costing one or two mana each. This will enable you to reliably build a boardstate of your own while you work toward casting a powerful threat to close out the game.

I’d run Mirror Image instead personally. I don’t like the drawback of Phantasmal, and it’s only 1 extra mana

Some thoughts:

  • Try getting down to 60 cards. Every card above 60 in a modern deck, weakens it by making its hands and draws weaker and less-consistent.

  • 20 lands is waaay too low, considering your dependence on 3-mana cards, and the fact you're running 4-and-5 mana cards also. I would suggest raising this to 23-24 lands.

  • Running no 1-drop cards feels like a big mistake. Not having anything to do turn 1 is going to hurt you a lot, and put you behind in the game from the start (particularly, if you're going second). You're currently running over 30 3-drops which is faaar too many, I would suggest halving that count to get more 1-mana cards and even-out your curve.

  • Mill cards like Mind Grind and Psychic Strike don't feel good here, as you're never likely to ever be able to actually mill your opponent out of cards (Mill only works as an all-in strategy). I would suggest ditching them.

  • I would also suggest ditching Siren of the Silent Song, Zareth San, the Trickster, and Mirror Image. With Siren of the Silent Song, by turn 5 (the earliest it'll be able to untap) most decks have played every card from their hand anyway, so it's not going to do anything. With Zareth San, the Trickster, you have no rogues to accelerate it or sneak-it-out, so it becomes too slow and easy to deal with. With Mirror Image, I don't see you needing additional copies of anything, and it's probably better-off being an extra control-card or draw-card.

  • I would suggest upgrading your control cards with stuff like Counterspell. You should also seek to replace Murder as it's baaad - good replacements would be Fatal Push and/or Infernal Grasp.

  • I would also recommend Unearth over Minion's Return

This is a really cool concept! Changeling Berserker, Hero, and Titan are particularly intriguing with Reaper King. With one of them, 2 other creatures with the same or similar "nesting doll" effect, and Reaper King, you can create a loop where you destroy all your opps' permanents. For example, Changeling Berserker + Mirror Image + Restoration Angel will create such a loop.

Mirror Image works as another Glasspool Mimic  Flip.

Nice deck, if a bit out of my budget range.

Maybe you could add more clones? (Mirror Image, Clever Impersonator, Stunt Double, and/or Dack's Duplicate)

Nice deck btw.
