I neeeeed a Repercussion but can't find one to trade anywhere.... Gratuitous Violence I'm not quite so sold on - it's really good with Jaya obviously but I don't have that many other creatures.
Distorting Lens and Scuttlemutt are good in theory but in practice I've had no trouble killing everything anyway, so not convinced they're needed, since they're really quite bad/do nothing by themselves.
I'm looking for a Price of Progress but for some reason everyone who has them (and coincidentally has 3 or 5 colour decks) doesn't want to give to me... very odd
Sword of Fire and Ice-because not killing herself is good! Expensive admittedly, but Sword of War and Peace would be just as effective.
Darksteel Plate, Shield of Kaldra-again with the not killing stuff. I'd argue if you put in both Sword and Shield of Kaldra, you may as well put in Helm of Kaldra too.
Scythe of the Wretched-hilarious as you take everything that hit the graveyard-including Jaya.
EDH, on the other hand, is more like a monster truck rally. It's more about the spectacle than the race, the games go long, and it's not usually clear who's in the lead until there's only one truck left.*
Single player EDH is like two guys smacking each other with pillows... until one of them pulls out a shotgun.

You should definitely put a distorting lens in here. Along the same lines, scuttlemutt can be useful.
Price of progress is REALLY good for EDH, especially since valakut is your only nonbasic land.
And finally, I like playing mana barbs
