Dispel Magic, Fly, Black Tentacles or Solid Fog. Illusions can be quite good
if the DM plays ball.
> 12th level
+= Dimension Door, Private Sanctum, Wall of Force, Truesight, Shadow
Walk, Greater Dispel. Many ways to negate specific monsters if your
divination (or reading the DM's mind) is up to scratch.
> 16th level
+= Clone, Disintegrate, Forcecage, Contingency, Mind Blank, Plane Shift.
> 20th level
+= Disjunction, Time Stop, Shapechange, Wish (scroll).
You'll also want defenses running that the Cleric casts on you, like
Death Ward and Heroes Feast.

Invisibility/Greater Invisibility, Levitate/Fly, Mirror Image, Rope
Trick, Dispel Magic, Blink, Stoneskin, Polymorph.
I leave off Shield and Mage Armor, both are nice to have, but I don't
find them quite as necessary as the others listed.

+Teleport, Wall of Force, Permanency, Magic Jar, Antimagic Field,
Globe of Invulnerability
> 16th level
+Spell Turning, Project Image, Etherial Jaunt, Limited Wish, Mind
Blank
