Does anyone else agree that this planeswalker seems so much better than any Chandra card? Jaya here seems to do exactly what red wants a planeswalker to do: Not lose tempo by casting her (you get mana back to burn things that would remove her), get rid of unneeded cards like lands to dig for more answers, and finally, give your instants and sorceries flashback to get more use out of them. So much better than the random effects Chandra has been showing off, like pinging and throwing cheap, measly burn at something. Yes, her casting cost requires you to be almost mono-red, but that's because she's the planeswalker red needs AND deserves.

Maybe in a Red aggro/midrange deck, she's not great; but I could find room for this in a X/r control deck. Her mana ability gives me exactly enough mana for Sweltering Suns, Anger of the Gods, etc. I think she'll be fine.

That's what I'm thinking. And being able to get you to play the instant/sorcery you want to cast is really in flavor with her being a taskmage/Spellshaper. Costing triple-red also tells you something about how Development Play Design thinks about this card: They want it at a low CMC to be playable, but want some dedication to actually playing red.
Nothing can give us another deck like the one Pyromancer's Goggles has given us, but this certainly is something worth putting down a five-mana permanent for.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

5 mana planeswalkers that cannot protect themselves are generally not played. She's not garbage, but traditional decks just don't have much use for her compared to torch of defiance.
I want to like her but the fact is she's flat out bad... Like Tibalt bad. Five mana, including triple red. Doesn't protect herself. Abilities are complete blanks after emptying your hand. It's a card that wants you to play nothing but red instants/sorceries but is the complete antithesis of what that deck wants. I love ya Jaya but your planeswalker card is a hard pass for me.

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."
