Mono-Red Control with a heavy artifact influence. The basic idea is to land Jaya with equipment/damage doubler/haste backup, then blow everything up. Protection from Red (via Sword of Fire and Ice , Sword of War and Peace , and Akroma's Memorial ) is really clutch in this list and allows Jaya to activate her third ability without eating it herself, enabling potential entire-damn-table kills off of mass damage (namely Starstorm and Blasphemous Act ) and Repercussion . Stuffy Doll really shines in this list, with both Furnace of Rath and Gratuitous Violence exponentially increase damage dealt when you Blasphemous Act or Inferno with him in play.

Distorting Lens turns Jaya's first ability into a straight-up Vindicate .

A suite of Fork effects act as insurance against counter-magic and can catch an opponent off-guard when you copy their tutors/big draw spell/general goodstuff.
