Jace, control, proliferate . . . what more could you ask for? End the game already!

You can guess why I have the urge to find a way to put this in the same deck as my Emrakul and try to get them both out at once with Platinum Angel. It's totally unnecessary, but just think of the reaction it would get.

I only started playing a few months ago so I may be wrong, but even if Jace's controller has priority when he comes into play, doesn't activating his +2 place ability place it on the stack, so if I chain with bolt, bolt will resolve before the +2 is applied. So shouldn't' state based effects clear Jace from the field? Sure, destroying an abilities source doesn't counter it, it'll just activate once Jace is in the graveyard, but he's still dead.

No, the reason being, if you use his effect +2, its part of a cost to add two counters (the : is very key, if it is before then it is a cost (you must do X to use its effect), if it is after it the effect). You can work around the effect of spells or abilities, for example, if you have a card that could, say, shuffle his library, you may choose to put your ability on the stack and happen first. I'll try and make it clear in this little text box
Player A (who has Jace) plays Jace
He has priority now, he may choose to activate one of the abilities (almost all players would right now)
He either chooses +2, 0, or -1, he says, -1
Now he pays the cost (which is removing one counter) and then the ability goes on the stack, you can't retaliate against cost payments, it's done, when he says -1, that includes payments.
(Consider this, when a player plays Shock they pay the mana at the same time they play the spell this is the same thing, you can't stop him fro... (see all)

I actually got to use his last ability a few days ago in a casual 2-headed Giant game :)))) so ridiculous. I never thought I'd get to. Long live Mill. :D I still can't believe how much this card is worth.

Jace is the reason I don't play competitively. I can't wait for Zendikar Block to rotate out. Other than that, great card.
