Crazy fun combo.
Jace, AoT + Doubling Season + Wheel of Sun and Moon. With Doubling Season in play, Jace comes out with 8 counters, use his ultimate, Wheel sends him to the bottom of your deck, get an opponet's non-land card and Jace, put Jace into play, wash rinse and repeat until the opponet's just left with lands.
Not the ebst combo ever, but hilarious to think about.

Good to see that Jace decided to get out of art and take up engineering instead.

Imagine this...
Blow up Jace to use his ultimate.
Search opponents deck for Armada Wurm / Avacyn / etc.
Search your own deck for another copy of Jace, Architect of Thought to replace the one you just blew up.
Put both into play.
The best part is you get to use another PW ability on the one you put into play, so his ability only cost -4, your up by your opponents biggest card, and you get to use two PW abilities in one turn.
Oh his other abilities are pretty nice too. This guy should not be underestimated.

This card for me represents the iconic blue card that isn't broken. This card emulates a blue player's thoughts:
Step 1: Stall
Step 2: Increase hand size (in the form of my favorite way of drawing, i.e. Fact or Fiction)
Step 3: Do something really weird.

The problem with the last two Jaces:
His hood is down. Why is his hood down. If you give a character a badass cape/cloak, you keep the hood up. Do you see the Nazgul taking their hoods down? Do you see Darth Sidious taking his hood down? Did that work out for him? Do you want people to remember Jace as "Anakin Skywalker" or "Darth Vader, Episode III"?
OK, so maybe Mind Sculptor was TOO MUCH like "Darth Vader" or a "Nazgul" and that was considered a problem. I can tolerate that view. But excuse me. How about a good guy example.
BATMAN. Does Bruce Wayne EVER wear the batsuit without the hood up?! I've only see it happen maybe once, at the end of the Mask of the Phantasm movie. Hoods, Cloaks, Capes, Cowls, what have you...are supposed to stay up. I liked Jace better when it looked like his skin might actually be blue or made of rock in Beleren's pic, because it was just so hidden and left unknown and another person might have seen a complet... (see all)

Not as contraversial as the other Jaces, I think. His -2 will probably see the most play, since Ponder is rotating. However, I hope WOTC will come out with blue planeswalkers that don't have Jace in them...

I like this Jace. He seems balanced but has great potentional. It is gladly not another mind sculptor That he starts with 4 loyality counters is also really nice. I like that. Going up to 5 makes him hard to take down in 1 go.

I don't understand why everyone is so adverse to Jace when its been almost 3 years since he's been part of a block. Really, the first 5 walker have all hit 3 versions and a 4th was only a matter of time. We also have 2 other mono blue walkers that aren't Jace too, so I don't get that complaint either. Also, complaining about him being mono blue in a gold set is like complaining that we had mono colored walkers in Shards. Has the ONE stupid version of Jace hurt people so much that they not just get sick whenever they see a new copy? I just don't get it.
Anyway, the card itself is fine. Your opponent has some control over the -2 so it will never be back breaking and the +1 is only really good against token decks. His -8 will hardly ever be relevant.

Started out at $25, dropped to $15 a week before prerelease. Was hoping I'd be able to trade into a playset at $12 or so before people realized that digging you 6 cards turn 5 is good. Stupid Star City Games for figuring out he's damn solid and telling everyone. Back up to $30...
Fun times running this guy with Tamiyo, the Moon Sage. The obvious thing would be to turn 4 Jace turn 5 Tamiyo, but better than that seems to be turn 5 Tamiyo, turn 6 Jace. You've tapped their biggest guys down, all their little guys get -1/-0, Tamiyo is rolling up, Jace is rolling up, and if they swing their shrunken guys into your board, you have Cyclonic Rift or Azorius Charm mana to remove their second-biggest threat, Tamiyo draws you a bunch of cards, and Jace gets to work going through your library. Or you roll them both up again and repeat until your opponent tears their scalp off. That's value, folks.
