Jaya Ballard, Fire Mage
This is a Modern Burn deck that I created around Jaya. The main strategy here is to just fire away. The deck is mainly composed of efficient burn spells which can be used for whatever needs to be BLOWN UP, alongside Guttersnipe the Burn spell really bring the rain. The cards that really enable the deck are Guttersnipe, Hellspark elemental, Shrine of Burning Rage ,and Jaya Ballard, Task Mage. Jaya is a good fit for a few reasons. The first being, after she is played, you can continue to use her burn in longer games thus preventing you from losing steam. These cards in particular work well together because of Jaya's second ability. Since you have to discard, Hellspark is a nice scapegoat to keep something nicer, and you can always unearth it later on. Some other cards that really help are Spark Elemental, and Vexing Devil. These cards are great early game because there are likely to be few to no blockers. It also allows you to save your instants for late game when they are more useful. But as thegame prgresses the reall finishers are Guttersnipe, and Shrine of Burning Rage. With Guttersnipe your one mana Lighting Bolt now deals 5 damage, this really brings the hammer down and keeps you oponent in check. The other great finisher would be Shrine of Burning Rage. Even with 4 turns of burn and creatures it could be easy to deal 7-10 damage to you oponent. To play this deck you really just go all out for the win.
