I build this deck almost totally around the flavor of Jasmine Boreal. I put in cards with 'Jasmine' and 'Boreal' and with the keywords in her flavor text, 'Peace' and 'Wicked' (for wicked I also included the flavortext, thanks to Tarasco). Also fungusaur helped with some idea's!
Almost all creatures are Human, just like Jasmine herself. She likes to wear the Konda's Banner to boost her power and that of her army.
This is a very original idea, and I like the theme that you've built around. Even though Jasmine is a vanilla card, she is far from dull! There is just something about the combination of her colors, name, art, and flavor text that makes her a very intriguing character who deserves to be a general.
I like the human creature theme of the deck to match Jasmine and her flavor text, which evokes such human quality. Her stance on peace is staunch and uncompromising, though, so it's great to see that you have also dedicated cards to reflect that aspect of her (like Harsh Mercy and Austere Command). I particularly like the inclusion of Peacekeeper and Asmira, Holy Avenger as human allies, and I also like the idea of Gerrard and Crovax fighting together for peace. Rebuff the Wicked is a perfect card for Jasmine too.
I would suggest including Swords to Plowshares because it embodies the act of putting down swords and picking up plowshares to build rather than destroy. The art on the Ice Age version of this card fits Jasmine's theme perfectly because it shows a sword disintegrating into a flock of doves. It is also a great spot removal card for EDH.
A creature I would suggest is Saffi Eriksdotter because she is a GW human scout and a useful martyr creature to save Jasmine or others from destruction.
Since you are using Shared Triumph, you may also consider Steely Resolve to give your humans shroud and represent the perseverance of Jasmine's cause.
Lastly, I would suggest running Icy Manipulator and Ice Floe, as they fit your arctic theme and also contribute to your subtheme of tapping down your opponents' creatures and permanents.
Great work and very creative deck!
