THERE IS TIME NOW!

This deck is pretty mean. But hell it is fun. This deck's main game plan is to abuse Jhoira of the Ghitu's suspend ability to not only cheat out big creatures, but also cheat out extra turns. While the mana curve is all over the place, this is okay because many of our spells and creatures we're able to cheat out earlier.

The Time Twister Herself

Well, Jhoira of the Ghitu is a pretty fun commander. Her ability to suspend creatures and spells from our hand is amazing. Especially since you don't have to tap her to use it. Basically, you can spend four mana to suspend Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and Blightsteel Colossus two turns early.

Suspend is a strong mechanic since not many cards can specifically get rid of suspend cards. They also cannot be targeted by a whole lot since they are "technically" not targetable. Also, they act as a fun timebomb for other players to look out for. When you cast both Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and a Blightsteel Colossus on the same turn, watch out because the whole table will look at you.

Messing with Time

Fairly simple since we can add and remove time counters with Timebender, Timecrafting, and Shivan Sand-Mage. It is pretty easy to see why we'd want to remove time counters, but sometimes it's helpful to add time counters. Say you have a good board state and you don't want to cast Obliterate just yet. You'd want to add some time counters to prevent it from going off just yet. This will have your opponents constantly on their toes because they'll never really know when you're going to cast certain spells.

Not only do we have time counters to mess with, but we also have the ability to take extra turns. This will also remove time counters since they are removed every upkeep. Add the extra turns and add in Paradox Haze and we'll get crazy with time.

While it seems like everything about this deck is planned out, there is still much more to go. See you next time!
