Also, I am thinking about taking the non-instants out of my sideboard and putting in Spell Crumple and Boomerang

truble I have a small question. Do you prefer to cast Jhoira on turn 2-3 and suspend the next turn, or do you wait until you have 5 mana available and then cast Jhoira and the suspend at you opponent's end step?

With my version of this deck Anticipation and Suspense, I generally hold off until I can shield her with Hexproof or Shroud, else she's quickly hated out by every other player. I'll take a mulligan if I don't draw Clout of the Dominus, Mask of Avacyn, Swiftfoot Boots or Champion's Helm in my first hand, unless it's an superb draw otherwise.

An older version of this deck used to rush Jhoira out on turn two, but I decided that it was not very good in multiplayer settings so I decided to go for a slower late game version of the deck. I usually try to cast her and suspend something on turn 4 if I have a mana rock and on turn 5 if I don't. I use the first few turns to set up.

It is hard for non-green decks to ramp efficiently at two mana, and as such, our first few turns tend to be awkward. I chose not to run any general protection based on the idea that the cards are weak by themselves and I rather play counterspells in their place. Not playing the general protection does make you play more carefully. You have to consider whether you have the mana to suspend something before the general dies.

Long story short, I usually play my general on turn 5

I don't play Thran Turbine and friends since I have moved away from the fast version of the deck. Cards that help you suspend something really quickly, but do nothing else for you are not super strong in a game that can last 15 turns.

Yay! I just found a really cheap Temporal Manipulation and was able to get it! I am cutting Shivan Sand-Mage for it

Do you think Unwinding Clock could do a good job? It could let you play sorceries or creatures and then untap your mana artifacts to suspend at your opponents end step.

I don't think I play enough artifacts for Unwinding Clock to work

What about Telling Time?

Also, I don't get why you use Timetwister. When you cast Enter the Infinite you don't have a maximun size until your next turn. That turn, you draw the card you left as a library and at the end of turn go to discard phase and just discard all cards above seven, including a Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre and you are done, right? You shuffle your graveyard with your library and you get to keep a perfect hand.

Telling Time is not as good as Impulse in my opinion, but it is a fine card.

You cast suspended spells in your upkeep, so you draw the card you put on top that turn. During your next turn you have nothing to draw.

But enter the infinite says you put a card from your hand to your library...

Now I get it, Enter the Infinite gets casted on the upkeep, so you draw the card that Enter the Infinite says you have to leave as library. Next turn you loose because you don't have cards yo draw and yo can't discard an Eldrazy because you don't have a hand maximum until your next turn. Sorry for that.

So it looks like I will be playing Temporal Trespass and Reality Shift when the new set comes out. I am thinking about taking out Timebender and Curse of the Swine for them. What do you guys think?

Yay for the new formatting!

Those two cards look amazing. Personally, I took Curse of the Swine a long time ago from my Jhoire deck, somehow it never seemed to be worth playing.
