Goal : Polymorph token, creatures and opponent creautes with Jalira, Master Polymorphist , get big creatures on board.

Token Generator and other creatures to sacrifice

Here are the cards that you want to activate Jalira ability. You sacrifice small creatures, token, opponent creatures or even your own lands to get your good stuff on board.

• Token : Skywise Teachings , Thopter Spy Network , Nuisance Engine , Summoner's Bane

Token engine to sacrifice with Jalira.

• Creatures to sacrifice or generating token : Drowner of Hope , Myr Battlesphere , Pentavus , Trophy Mage , Wonder , Solemn Simulacrum .

You get them with Jalira. They are good to sacrifice again or give token to sacrifice.

• Stealing : Chamber of Manipulation , Control Magic , Legacy's Allure , Domineering Will .

It's fun to just steal the stuff of your opponent. You use it as much as possible and before to give it back, just sacrifice it to get your big guys on board.

• Land : Genju of the Falls , Dread Statuary , Cradle of the Accursed , Foundry of the Consuls , Mishra's Factory , Spawning Bed , Zoetic Cavern , Chronatog Totem , Guardian Idol .

In early game, you need your land, but the manacurve is quite low, so you can sacrifice them to get all the big stuff out after some turns. Also, you have manarocks to get faster to the point that you don't need much lands anymore. You can get your lands back with Crucible of Worlds(5DN) that can also be tutor with Trophy Mage . Chronatog Totem and Guardian Idol work the same here.

Draw

• Solemn Simulacrum , Sphinx of Uthuun , Mystic Remora , Brainstorm , Dig Through Time , Bident of Thassa , Hedron Archive , Mind Stone , See Beyond , Treasure Cruise .

Draw is not the essential mechanic in this deck. As long as you can play Jalira and sacrifice stuff, you're good. Also, you don't want to draw your big creatures, you want to play them with Jalira. To avoid that, there's Brainstorm and See Beyond that make you draw and replace cards in your library. You can use Jalira ability just after Brainstorm to get it on board for free.

Other interraction

Since the deck is made to get big stuff on play, you can abuse that. Making tokens of those creatures, activating Jalira multiple times per turn, making stuff unblockable. Those are some fun idea for the deck.

• More big token : Followed Footsteps , Stolen Identity . Can also copy opponent creatures, if that's needed.

• Untap Jalira : Fatestitcher , Deadeye Navigator , Freed from the Real , Tidal Force . Pretty self explanatory.

• Rogue's Passage , Whispersilk Cloak(DST). Wonder doesn't make your creatures unblockable, but a giant kraken or eldrazi with flying is always great. Is greath with Stormtide Leviathan . Domineering Will can also take the defending creatures of a player... that you will sacrifice. Bident of Thassa works similar, making a player attacking with everything they can. If you happen to get a good defence, you're probably won't get attack and will be able to attack them next turn.

I already had some great cards for that deck, but it's possible to make it more budget friendly. Cyclonic Rift , Mana Drain , Solemn Simulacrum , and Reliquary Tower are not really core to the strategy, so can be cut easily. Crucible of Worlds is more important, due to the lands that are sacrificed often. You still can go another directions, instead of getting those lands, it's possible to get more token generator, or small creatures that gives you other advantages. Without those cards, the deck is around 60$, which is not expensive. If it happens that you got those cards or other non-budget cards, you can include them easily in it.

Springjack Pasture , Chasm Skulker , Mystical Tutor , Caged Sun , Illusionist's Bracers , Vedalken Shackles , Sensei's Divining Top , Training Grounds . Minamo, School at Water's Edge , Mutavault are good non-budget options for this deck.
