Jalira, Master Polymorphist

A casual, "let's roll the dice and see what we polymorph into" deck, the general theme is a random assortment of creatures, a minor theft theme (to sac other people's creatures rather than my own), and only running permanents, because why not.

I've tried to make Jalira work once or twice, and I'll probably do it again. I'm surprised you went the "chaos" route. I always felt the way to go was to run some non-creature token production, Polymorph effects for redundancy apart from Jalira, and some bonker fatties. How does it play out for you with the "hope I don't hit Merchant of Secrets" route? I guess it could lead to some nutty games not having any clue what might flip.

I've had some interesting games where I was able to get a Theft engine going and built up a board presence. Overall, I'm generally left alone to my wackiness precisely because it's so random. This was a deliberate choice, as I didn't want to make the deck more consistent by using scry effects or tokens to cheat out large beaters.
