@Mazzuno Darksteel Plate has always been something I've been trying to get hold of, though I haven't managed to find one for trade yet. Ideally i would be running the following artifacts: Crucible of Worlds (for your exact reasoning) Darksteel Forge, Mycosynth Lattice and Batterskull!

Like the deck, I have a few suggestions. I usually see people running Snow-Covered Mountains with extraplanar lens so the opponents most likely don't get the bonus. (Although they certainly aren't necessary). Squee, Goblin Nabob could be good fodder for Jaya's ability. I think Tormenting Voice should be Faithless Looting; it digs further and is better discard fodder to Jaya because of the flashback. Finally, if you can find a copy Anger is one of the absolute best things to discard with Jaya. +1 from me!

@brother1 I completely agree that Faithless Looting should replace Tormenting Voice overall it is a much stronger card.Squee, Goblin Nabob is also excellent to abuse Jaya's abilities over and over again. Snow-Covered Mountain would replace Mountain with Scrying Sheets to go with it. Snow-Covered Mountain do offer a lot of other possibilities to mix with the deck. Until i collect together 30 of these land I wont be running them, though eventually it is likely to be added. Thank you for your input!

@magicevan11 Totally agree with you about Magnetic Theft. It was shoved in the deck as more or so a last card, due to my current collection. Though it has seen its niche situations, eg T3 Magebane Armor then T4 Jaya Ballard, Task Mage And equip for only 1R. But a better card will be taking its place, that is for sure. Eventually

Braid of Fire perhaps? You sure have enough mana-dumps to justify it! Of course, it is a bit of a cash-dump itself...
July 21, 2015 3:13 a.m.
I would also suggest Braid of Fire, especially since you have Ashling, Jaya herself, Pyrohemia... My point is, you have mana sinks.

@Moshanyana and @Maringam Thanks for the input both of you! Braid of Fire is a card i have been looking to trade for for months now, It definitely deserves a place in the list!

Darksteel Plate as another way to repeatedly use jayas abilities.
Gauntlet of Might is a must have for any mono red edh deck. (If you can afford it)

Wow! I'm surprised you don't have Reckless Wurm or Violent Eruption. I'm pretty sure these are EDH legal too

@DARK_VOID Hey there thank you for your input! I have looked at running madness cards, it was actually my first go too to to get more out of Jaya's abilities, but for what they do they seem quite lacklustre unfortunately. Reckless Wurm is just a bit weak to add as it is only a body. I would rather have a card that could be re-used with Jaya's abilities. Violent Eruption on the other hand was a more difficult decision to dismiss the card. 4 extra spreadable damage is nice for 1RR but I don't feel that it is as strong as Chaos Warp for a spot.

Braid of Fire for ramp and Rings of Brighthearth to copy Jaya's abilities

@Maringam Hey there, thank you for the input, I have already ordered Darksteel Plate! It is included in the updates section and i can't wait for it to arrive, I cannot wait to play around with it!
@JaceNordark Cheers for your input! Like Darksteel Plate I have already ordered Rings of Brighthearth, they give so much power from on artefact. Though when it comes to Braid of Fire I am a bit dubious, Ideally I would run this and play it T2 every game, but the later in the game it is played the effect of it truly diminishes. It still is a very strong card but currently I am aiming to try out the ones I have purchased, stated in the update. I do expect it will be making an entry around the same time I can get Snow-covered Mountain's.

What do you think of Batterskull? I'm thinking of adding it to my list, but Sword of Kaldra seems to be a bit more powerful since it enables her to survive her 7cmc ability. Haha, I'm torn!

@Galacticus I would love to stick a Batterskull in this list but unfortunately I cannot afford one at the moment, On a general basis Batterskull is better than Sword of Kaldra due to lifelink, seeing as the sword exiles Jaya anyway. Though the exile from the sword definitely does come in handy against any Re-animation decks. So both do have their place, I just happened to have a promo Sword of Kaldra.

And you've really GOT to include the Violent Eruption. So much flavor!
September 6, 2015 3:23 p.m.
If you can't afford Batterskull try Loxodon Warhammer?
To gain the damage you deal.
Blood Moon and Price of Glory are nice to.
Yes Blood Moon is pricey.

@trollslayer Groan Scepter is a fantastic name for Isochron Scepter lol.
@Cerradura might I suggest Darksteel Plate or something of the likes to keep her alive during her boardwhipe ability? Also Crucible of Worlds discard the land for her ability and then play the land for turn :)
Edit: Didn't see the Shield of Kaldra but still Darksteel Plate is a whole lot cheaper.
