Brewed this deck to take advantage of Jalira, Master Polymorphist.
The idea is to have worldspine wurm as the only non-legendary creature card in the deck. So, when you activate Jalira, it is the only possible creature to be found and put into play.
Since you have to sacrifice another creature to activate the ability, tokens that arent attached to non-legendary creatures should be played (use instants, sorceries, legendary creatures, or planeswalkers to generate them instead).
Comments, suggestions, etc would be appreciated. Thanks.
Add 4 [M15] Jalira, master polymorphist into the mainboard
Jalira, Master Polymorphist
3U
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
3U, T, Sacrifice another creature: Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a nonlegendary creature card. Put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
2/2

side board is just cards that didnt make the cut.
I think the deck can function without Jalira -> worldspine wurm... but it is so much cooler if it works.
**explanation of most of the cards in the deck**
Jalira - cool ability that I want to try taking advantage of. Need 1 beefy hard to cast creature, and a sacrificial token (or legendary) creature
Worldspine wurm - Best card to find in standard. 15/15 trample, when it dies gets 3 5/5s with trample? also, when milled or discarded, goes back into library to be found with jalira again.
Also, after you swing with Worldspine wurm, you can sacrifice it, get the 3 5/5's, it'll go into your library, and then you find and put it into play again - giving your worm vigilance and 3 extra 5/5 tramplers every turn.
Trading post is used both as a way to discard Worldspine wurm so that it goes back into your library, and as a way to generate tokens. Also, it can be sacrificed itself to draw a card.
Brimaz is a great legendary creature that creates extra tokens for jalira.
growing ranks makes more tokens
advent of the wurm, eyes in the skies, and call of the conclave all create decent tokens that can block or apply pressure.
elspeth is elspeth, generates tokens, kills stuff, makes stuff big and flying.
Kiora can help stall or create card advantage
lay of the land helps you with finding that lonely island for jalira and kiora
mutavault - great against control. can be sac'd to Jalira
**cards i might consider**
sylvan caryatid - 0/3 blocker that mana ramps in any color... would help getting jalira up and running; only problem is that jalira might find it instead of world spine wurm, delaying the world spine wurm by up to 4 attempts. The upside would be the ability to get Jalira or an Advent of the worm out on turn 3.
Ordeal of nylea - possible aggressive replacement for Lay of the land
