The Goal: {Jalira, Master Polymorphist} a token into {Stormtide Leviathan} for the win.
{Stormtide Leviathan}: The Wincon. I think it's a very underrated card as it slays most decks in three turns and as long as I've got a counter not much is being done about it.
{Jalira, Master Polymorphist}: I've been thinking about ways to abuse her for a while now. This, I think, is the answer.
{Tormenting Voice}: If I draw a {Stormtide Leviathan} or have something else useless I get to dig deeper.
{Raise the Alarm}: Fuel Jalira.
{Negate}: anti-removal and other nasties.
{Nullify}: To help buy me time.
{Dig Through Time}: Fetch combo pieces or answers.
{Valorous Stance}: keep things alive or blow up nasties.
{Disdainful Stroke}: counters keep me alive.
{Hordeling Outburst}: fuel for Jalira.
{Anger of the Gods}: I suspect this deck wants a main board wipe. This is it.
{Dissolve}: gotta love catch alls.
What I need: Did I miss any decent token generators? I feel like the control portion needs to be ironed out. I debated going Turbo Frog but I don't know how viable that is.
This is supposed to be in standard...can somebody please move it for me?
Seems really fragile. They kill Jalira its over. Plus, you could polymorph into her again.

"Non Legendary creature." Which is threat restricting but saves that. It may be a tad fragile but that's why I stuffed it full of control cards. I haven't tested it much yet but we'll see.
Oh right! Good idea though, let me know how it works out.
2-1 vs RDW.
Game one {Anger of the Gods} to offset early game and then morphed a {Stormtide Leviathan}.
Game two got colorscrewed. Had two {Anger of the Gods} and no red mana.
Game three managed to counter a couple of spells and just combo out.
It's a tad fragile for sure but I can hold mana for {Valorous Stance} or a {Negate} if I feel like I need to. Once {Stormtide Leviathan} hits the table all I need is to have one or two counters in my hand to keep it alive and it's game. More playtesting to come.
1-1 vs U/R Midrange?
Game one I managed to land a {Stormtide Leviathan} but it was too little too late and a {Sarkhan, the Dragon Speaker} and {Flamewake Phoenix} finished me.
Game two the control part of the deck ran perfectly and I managed to squeeze out a win with three life left. (Thanks mostly to a chain of {Magma Jet}s and a T2 {Frostwalker})
Didn't play a game three cause it crashed.
