I was wondering if you could make your Jalira list available? She looks very interesting (and similar to Stitcher Geralf, who I run) and I'd love to see what you've done with her!
Oh man, I love this deck. Here’s the list:

It’s pretty much hard mono-U control. You draw cards, you counter stuff, all on your opponents’ turns, put creature tokens onto the field, then polymorph them. The deck only has 8 non-legendary creatures, so you’re pretty confident that whatever you hit is going to be big. There are also ways to get them from your hand back into the deck, so don’t stress too much about drawing one of them.
It needs a few tweaks; Time Warp is good, but I’d love to switch it out for a Rite of Replication or something. There are only so many things you can do with an extra turn when your normal turn is “Draw, go.” I’d also love to throw in a Venser’s Journal, Lightning Greaves, and basically any Jace works well in the deck too if you have one.
But all in all, it’s incredibly fun to play in a 4-player game. Most people don’t know how the deck works, so they don’t think you’re a threat until you’ve thrown an Eldrazi or two onto the field, and then it’s too late for them to do anything. It’s also really fun to be the politician, a la “I’ll counter that if you kill this other thing over there.” Fun Fact: any time an opponent plays something even mildly intimidating, you can scare them by pausing the game, making them wait a second, and then saying, “Yeah, it resolves,” regardless of whether or not you have any actual counters in hand. It’s the best.
I once had a goblin token army swing at me for lethal, but I polymorphed a token last-second and hit Platinum Emperion. Took 0 damage. Good times.
