My take on the Jhoira EDH deck, I generally wait until 5 mana to drop Jhoira to either protect her cast, or cycle something big in response to a kill card. I usually suspend a string of beaters and blow the board manually, but only if a beater is one or two time counters away. Duel suspending a wipe and a beater is a little too telling, but works just as well, especially if you rush the wipe in with the timebug or fury charm/timecrafting. Never never blow the board without a wincon on the way, you lose friends that way. Most of my counters are ideally reserved to protect the board wipe, which usually results in a counter war, so 0-2 cmc is ideal and allows me to ignore card advantage losses. Sideboard out the red counters as needed.
