Has anyone played with or against a Jerren, Corrupted Bishop Flip? What was your experience like? Were you able to flip him?

I've not seen him played but I wouldn't build him with the expectation of being able to flip him consistently. You'll need to lose exactly 27 life and have that 6 mana available before one of your opponents knocks you out of the game. 13 damage is such an easy thing to do really. Even if they don't knock you out of the game they only have to push you off 13 life before your end step. That said there are some options for you that could really make the deck tick and allow you to get to that life total quickly.
Unspeakable Symbol, Soul Channeling, Phyrexian Processor, Infernal Contract, Plague of Vermin, Toxic Deluge, Hatred, Razaketh, the Foulblooded, Doom Whisperer, Wall of Blood, K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth, Blood Celebrant, Vilis, Broker of Blood, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, and Bolas's Citadel.
Some of these will just set you to 13 life, others will get you close. Things like Hatred I really like here because that could be knocking someone out of the game. Then flipping your commander and going right into drawing a bunch of cards. You'd need 11 mana to do that in 1 turn though so I'd also include black's big mana cards like Nirkana Revenant and Crypt Ghast. A number of these things are mana hungry to do in one turn. All in all I wouldn't say this is looking half bad. Some rather strong cards here at the core of your strategy.

This is definitely a Tree of Perdition sort of card for sure. That being said, he could maybe be a value piece in a token/sac deck just for his first ability if you could recur your humans, or just provide some consolation when they die. He maybe could go in Trynn, Champion of Freedom and Silvar, Devourer of the Free, but I'm not sure if he is good enough.

If you want to flip him as a commander you have to be able to defend your life total afterwards. Your deck will probably have to be some type of mono life-gain deck. Human tribal maybe?
