I will be ripping one of these in front of fifty or so players at Saturday's prerelease for MBS. If you see it happen and saw this comment, let me know.
But yeah, 5/5, no question about it. Brainstorm on a stick was worth 4CMC.

This was one of the first rares I ever pulled. Back then I had no idea how god he really was, but even then I knew my first deck should use blue.
The free Brainstorm every turn makes this a killer card. Everything else is just gravy.

why would you deck this when you can deck this when you could deck storm crow? Well I guess storm crow is not is standard.

Just traded the a VERY iffy foil Sorin, Lord of Innistrad for a FtV:R Isochron Scepter, Spellskite, and one of these guys. Jace was already my favorite planeswalker. This, though... it just made my blue/white EDH that much better.

This jace is awesome. Sure the price tag is high but i got two in my box so i was pleased. Totoally awesome and at home in any blue deck. His abilities are all really awesome. Unsummon, Brainstorm, and that ability to look at the top card. Total control. Sure he can be bolted right off the bat and is legend ruled but still.....

I agree with kittyspit, although this card is insane, and probably better than beleran in a void, don't underestimate how strong beleren is. It has potential to win the game on it's own, just like any other 'walker.

Yes, Jace.
I've come a long way, from fearing and hating this card to loving it. In the end, he's a good card, but not so good that he really breaks anything...there's just too many ways to deal with him.
But at any rate, prediction that you heard here first: Once Jace, the Mind Sculptor rotates out of extended (yeah, it's a while away), that $100 price tag will drop to about $30 after 6 months.
Why? Because absolutely 0 planeswalkers have been shown to be legacy good (at least staying around long enough to be considered part of the format, there's always the occasional Tezz of course). And Jace is no different.

Phyrexian Revoker will become a mandatory sideboard in every format that has Jace. Incoming Jace price-drop.
