Jaya Ballard, Task Mage

This is my redone Jaya Ballard, Task Mage deck. I have decided to step away from the explosive damage scene and moved more into another one of Reds strongest abilities. Treachery. My old Jaya deck had problems with big creature aggro style decks. And with the new and improved treachery suite people will be weary of playing there bigger, meaner creatures. Allowing me time to set up the kill using Jaya, and the numerous burn spells I have in the deck. The deck itself is easily broken down into 4 packages. The Treachery package, the artifact/land hate package, the Control package, and the Creature/Walker package. Now the most common question I get is, Hey Trevor, How do you plan on winning versus a very creature light deck, much like your own? And my answer is simple. I use Jaya to discard the treachery suite and turn it into a secondary burn/control suite. Note, I am still missing cards for this deck and it is always evolving. This deck is made for competitive 1v1 and multiplayer games, and its only problem is it runs out of steam fast. The major cards I am missing for the deck are Karn Liberated, Repercussion, Mind's Eye, Insurrection, and Basilisk Collar. Those five need to make it in here when I get them. But there are others I was thinking of putting in. Mostly Latulla, Keldon Overseer and Kumano, Master Yamabushi . Maybe throw in a Sword of Kaldra so I can exile creatures on spot. Any and All tips are welcome, feel free to +1 it if you like it, and thank you for giving it a look.

The maybe board are cards i want to put in
