Illusions And Mindgames or Illusive Mindgames
This is my first Contest/Challenges so I hope this goes well. So, here it goes: The Blue archetype of Illusions and using them or some weird mechanic/instant/sorcery combo always was so awe inspiring to me. Hopefully you guessed the challenge is to make a group of cards(min. of 3 - max of 6) that must CONTAIN an Illusion creature. This group of cards should be able execute some strong combos or pull the rug from under your opponent(s) and bring you on top.
---------List of Rules If the Above Stuff is Unclear--------------------------
-Create a group of cards with a minimum of three and a maximum of six that synergize, hope that synergize is a word, well
-One card must be an Illusion(Bonus points if it has a unique ability that makes a person go "What? How is that useful" but Bam! You win.)
-The color does NOT matter
-Have a good time making cards, I guess that I should include a cheesy rule...
-The END DATE IS 20/11/2015 or November 20th
--------Prizes(Who doesn't like prizes?)---------------------------------
1st-5 likes on cards of the winner's choosing, it even can not be your card!
2nd-4 likes on cards of the winner's choosing!
3rd-3 likes on cards of the winner's choosing!
Anyone who participates will have one like on a card from the set he or she makes(Please direct my attention to that card)

^Illusion creature with weird mechanic. You can untap and draw in an opponent's turn instead of yours.

^You must skip your next turn, but if you have Timebender Magpie, it's not a big deal. If you have Winter Dragon, it's a big damage for an opponent.
Winter Dragon

^It delays player's action, but you aren't affected by its ability because you have alternate way of untapping.
Those three are in HERE :

Thanks for the very interesting challenge. I look forward to your next challenge.
Deadeye Navigator/Mind Over Matter/Laboratory Maniac works, although it's not very good. (There's better stuff you could be doing with that mana.)
Zombie Infestation/Carrion Feeder is nice, although it needs three colors.
Pushing outside of Modern, Brago has some lovely synergy with this, and all you'd need is a Chasm Skulker or the like to create an unstoppable murder train. Meishin, the Mind Cage and Ivory Tower let you build a vomit-inducing stall deck. Neverending Torment could be a total party in that deck.
