Jaya Ballard is a red human Planeswalker, introduced in May 2018 along with the Dominaria card set.

She has average health, good mana gains in blue as well as red, and average deck limits, focusing on Spells.

The theme of her abilities is Spells. She can fetch spells with bonus mana, deal direct damage to the opponent if her last card is a spell while also drawing cards, and create a powerful support TokensToken which copies spells she casts and gives the copies full mana.

Jaya Ballard is the first of two playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Jaya Ballard at different points in her life.

Story

Jaya is a native of Dominaria whose skills, abilities, recklessness and impetuousness made her influence known to the Multiverse across generations. She founded Keral Keep, a pyromantic monastery in the plane Regatha, where Chandra Nalaar trained. After the Mending, she started aging normally, unlike Teferi and Karn, and is fully accepting of the fact she is at the end of a very long and productive life.
