I ordered the cards for my Scion deck last night, but I seem to be obsessed with making EDH decks right now, and I think I might do Jhoira for my second one.
I really like the idea of having things suspended and using things like Jhoira's Timebug to keep them suspended until I need them, it's probably pretty tricky, but suspending a Draining Whelk or Spelljack until someone plays something juicy would be awesome.
I thought at first that Decree of Silence would be good, but now I'm wondering if maybe I should take it out. The only card that can take off the counters is Clockspinning, so it would only really work against one opponent as long as I have that card.
I'd put in Riptide Laboratory as Jhoira is a wizard and it can help you take infinite turns with Anarchist/Izzet Chronarch + a time walk effect. I am currently testing Teferi's Isle in my build, don't know if I like it yet or not but it is something to think about. Fact or Fiction should go in for sure. Aura Thief is pretty good with Obliterate effects since enchantments & Planeswalkers are the only thing that survive. I like Jace Beleren since he dodges the Obliterate effects. Apocolypse destroys enchantments, albeit at a great cost, but I like having it in my deck as an option if I need it. Mystical Tutor seems like an auto include here as well.
Teferi's Isle would actually be useful if I cast things like Devastation on the turn that it's phased. That's why I threw in Darksteel Citadel. I figure land wiping often would be useful since I only need 2 land to start bringing in big things where everyone else will have to build up from scratch, is this a good idea?

Fact of Fiction seems useful, and Aura Thief seems amazing, I've never heard of that card. Especially if I have Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker in play.
Teferi's Isle would actually be useful if I cast things like Devastation on the turn that it's phased. That's why I threw in Darksteel Citadel. I figure land wiping often would be useful since I only need 2 land to start bringing in big things where everyone else will have to build up from scratch, is this a good idea?
Also any suggestions on the Decree of Silence dilemma?
