Jaya Ballard, Task Mage

she actually can kill the 6/6 sky swallower it says it does 6 damage to each creature it's not targeting anything, this and teferi are the next cards on my list

Weak? Combine this with Vampiric Embrace, and watch her go! And then for the bonus: Vhati il-Dal. Sure it may add green to the black/red.... but if your going to add green, then why not Instill Engery? Wahahahahaha!

Drawing lands? Turn them into volcanic Hammers or Blue creature boilers or in the later stages of the game: INFERNO! watch your opponent squirm at the sight of the Red Lady!

This may be my favorite card in the set because I love red. Combine this with Grim Lavamancer or Magus of the Scroll or just use it with any of red's many ways to do damage. Nothing cute. Nothing fancy. Just damage and destruction. Red is awesome.

Very useful card. While weak, she has plenty of combinations with madness, and hellbent.

And no, her final ability is each creature and each player. Not all target creatures. It does not target.

she's legendary, difficult to splash, and she can get shocked (in response you can use her last ability but you have to have *7* mana open). but in a two-color deck she's great. fiery temper works great with her...blow up a teferi and incinerate ur opponent for one mana...wow. the best part is that her abilities can't be countered...cuz they're abilities. the last ability kills her, but it kills the simic sky swallower!!very nice.

I'm surprised nobody's noticed this but madness and hellbent? yes!

This is a great sideboard card but a little too demanding for use as a mainstay in a deck (Madness is the exception). She's a great counter to Blue decks (Kaboom goes the Island!) and of course blowing up weenies. I'll run 2 of her in my sideboard any day!

yeah it s usefal but weak

Excellent card for anti-blue, but as far as islands going BOOM. No go, lands are colorless.

This card is not so great. Firstly it does not kill a simic sky swallower. The ability states each which means it checks the creature before it casts the damage which means when it checks the sky swallower is sees that it can't be targeted and therefore does not deal any damage. Other than that it works well with cards that support its functions but it is not a card that can be placed in even 20 percent of red decks so it couldn't get more than 2 stars.
