Deck Description

This deck is based on the idea of winning with Infinite Reflection and either Biovisionary or Corpsejack Menace. The point of this deck is to get creatures out and convert them into Biovisionary and get an instant win, or into Corpsejack and create massive amounts of counters.

Deck discussion for Overwhelming Counters

The idea is nice. The problem is, it's too slow. It has for one, too few lands to be running well consistently. 18 Lands on a 60 cards deck, with 16 cards of converted mana cost of 4 or more is not very consistent. A good solution for mana fixing here is adding a couple of more lands and cards like: Farseek. This allows you to search for your shock duals as well as basic lands. A total of 22 - 24 lands in a 60 cards deck is pretty decent.
As I mentioned the idea is nice, but having 4 Biovisionaries is way too many, if you intend to play Infinite Reflections as well. I'd go for 1 or 2 of the Biovisionaries and make room for other cards. And with Jarad's Orders you can always look them up.
Another problem of this deck, removal. It has none, except a few charms. But adding a few decent removals, like Murder (something that can destroy any kind of creature regardless of power / colors, etc). Removing your counter spells for this purpose might be a good option.
Forced Adaptation and Bioshift, I see where you want to go with this, and abuse the Corpsejack Menace's power. But neither makes your creature strong enough to get through a simple 1/1 creature. For that, I'd suggest running a few Rancor, to give your super powerful creatures the trample that they need to be a threat. 1 or maybe 2 Rancor will do the trick. I'd remove the Forced Adaptation all together to make room for other cards. Running 3x Bioshift is pretty solid to abuse the Corpsejack Menaces.
Carddrawal, you don't have any. Not that you need it, but I'd run 2 - 4 copies of Fathom Mage. Which gives you cards for each counter put on her and goes well with Bioshift.

So, my advice in short:

-3 Biovisionary
-4 Forced Adaptation
-2 Psychic Strike
-4 Master Biomancer

+4 Lands (2x Woodland Cemetery and 2x Hinterland Harbor seems best)
+4 Farseek
+2 Fathom Mage
+2 Murder (or any such removal)
+1 Rancor
