Jalira, Master Polymorphist

Gameplan

Use Jalira's activated ability to sacrifice a cheap creature (a token or expendable body) and dig your library until you slam a huge nonlegendary creature onto the battlefield for . Stock the deck with very few creatures so you almost always hit your bomb, then ride enormous threats and Eldrazi-style finishers to victory.

Key Cards

• Blightsteel Colossus — A nonlegendary bomb that one-shots opponents via infect when polymorphed into play.
• Mind's Desire — Not relevant—skip.
• Ornithopter — Free creature that doubles as cheap sacrifice fodder to fuel Jalira every turn.
• Thassa, Deep-Dwelling — Untaps Jalira each turn for an extra polymorph and gives evasion to your fatties.
• Hullbreaker Horror — A powerful nonlegendary finisher that protects you while bouncing threats.
• Cryptic Coat — Generates a token body for fodder while protecting you from removal.

Upgrade Path

Trim your creature count to only sacrifice fodder plus a tight package of bombs so every activation is consistent, and add token generators (Ornithopter, Cryptic Coat, Sakashima's Will) for renewable fuel. Layer in protection (Swan Song, Mana Drain, Pact of Negation) and untappers (Thousand-Year Elixir, Thassa) to enable multiple polymorphs per turn. For the fastest kills, run Blightsteel Colossus alongside fast mana like Mana Crypt and Sol Ring.
