Rather than do the boring, try-hard version of jalira, where I just sac a thing for a blightsteel every time, I decided to have a bit more fun. The deck runs about an even number of small, legendary utility creatures that I can keep around/sac to jalira, then lots of giant beaters that I can jalira into and smack face with. There's also a fair amount of token generation that I can sac to jalira as well. Being mono-blue, there's also a decent amount of counter magic/bounce, in case I need to deal with stuff, especially since I can jalira at instant speed, so I can keep mana up. MVP Sensei's Divining Top and Training Grounds, cuz activating Jalira or Sphinx of Magosi for a single blue is nice :)
