What Jaya Ballard Does
Jaya Ballard can add 

for instants and sorceries, discard up to three cards and draw that many cards, or create an emblem that lets you cast instant and sorcery spells from your graveyard.
That makes Jaya a focused support planeswalker for red spell decks. She does not protect herself well, so she works best when your deck can either defend her or get immediate value from her mana and filtering abilities.
Best Uses for Jaya Ballard MTG Proxy
- Spellslinger decks: Provides mana and filtering for instant and sorcery-heavy turns.
- Storm-style casual decks: Helps build toward large spell-chain turns.
- Display builds: The Mythic Edition treatment gives the card extra appeal for showcase collections.
