Figured I'd share my recently-rebuilt Jaya deck since I'm definitely back in the mono-red groove again. It's pretty similar to Weebo's with a few changes that I think make a big difference. Also, By Force is in there instead of Shenanigans because the deck editor seems to think it's outside Jaya's color identity for some reason.
Thousand Year Elixir has been really helpful if I need to activate Jaya twice or give people less time to react to Magus of the Wheel.
Karn, Scion of Urza: I don't get how everyone is lukewarm on this guy. Sure the opponent chooses the worst of the two revealed cards, but it's more draw! For 4!
Happy to answer any questions you may have about specific cards. I finally got a playgroup together again so I've had the opportunity to playtests this deck pretty regularly.
So some of the new cards really made me want to give this deck a try, I'm just having some trouble making cuts. Could anyone offer some suggestions of cards that should definitely be taken out?
Really interested in this deck. I've been playing around with a Jori-En deck for awhile now but never could get it where I wanted. This list is a huge help, especially since it looks like you ditched a lot of expensive cards for cards I already own! Gonna keep my eye on this...

Braid of Fire has been nuts. It takes a bit to set up, but I've used it to kill someone with Comet Storm, cast Commune with Lava, or activate Jaya in an emergency.
Thousand Year Elixir has been really helpful if I need to activate Jaya twice or give people less time to react to Magus of the Wheel.
