Jalira, Master Polymorphist turns any token into a random nonlegendary creature from your library — the ceiling is enormous, the floor is whatever you hit. The catch is the four-mana baseline plus two to activate, but if your deck is built around stocking the library with bombs, Jalira converts disposable tokens into real threats and Timestream Navigator into an extra-turn engine.

Commander is where Jalira, Master Polymorphist lives — she's a build-around that rewards dedicated deckbuilding, and the singleton format makes it easier to load the library with high-impact creatures so every hit matters. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer she's legal but effectively invisible; the mana investment and randomness can't compete with the consistency those formats demand. Vintage permits her but the same logic applies harder. Oathbreaker is a realistic fringe home if you're pairing her with a blue instant-speed spell as the signature.
