Mislead is a nice spell, but there is a significant limitation in that it requires concentration. It also requires casting which can be noticeable.
But, I was thinking that, if you are playing an illusionist, you might be able to do better by using Malleable Illusion. The idea would be to cast Improved Invisibility and use Malleable Illusion to turn an existing illusion into an illusion of yourself.
In fact, you might be able to use the Malleable Illusion to create the illusion of yourself an instant before you cast Improved Illusion so that it never appears that you are casting.
Concentration is necessary as it's too powerful without.
Casting is only a Somatic component which can be easily disguised, even if the enemy sees you casting, they won't wont know what you did. Without even using any movement on your turn you can turn your back to the enemy then cast it - they won't even see you cast it, just see you seem to start to run away (that is why it's called mislead: to have them chase the illusion instead of you).
Seems perfectly fine to me. *shrugs*

Does this make sense?
It doesn't seem forbidden, but improved invisibility also requires concentration, and unless you have fighter levels for action surge or sorcerer levels for quickened spell, you can't cast it and use malleable illusion in the same turn because both of them require spending your action.
