Secret fact of the day: Jace is Prodigal Pyromancer's little bro. (Same frown, same fire in the eyes, same atmosphere of badassery.)

The power of Jace cards seems to have a direct relationship with how awesome the art is. And let's face it, Jace has never looked better than he does on this card.

The new Planeswalkers changes will absolutely break this:
1. If there was ever a chance to shut down your opponent's Jace with your own, it's gone now. No more Sun Titan stopping Jace.
2. Chain +2s for one turn, if their top card provced to be very dangerous and you have an inkling that their next one is dangerous too.
If a card is/was played in all of Standard, Legacy, and Vintage, and Modern (if appropriate), I think there might be an inherent problem with the card. As such, I can't rate this card highly.

@ BobTheBuilder
When you play a permanent, if your opponent doesn't do anything in response, the permanent enters the battlefield. You then have PRIORITY. This means that your opponent can do NOTHING, until you place a spell or ability on the stack. So Jace hits the battlefield and your opponent has to let you use one of his abilities first. Then they can stack. Of course at that point, bolting is pointless, since his loyalty will be at 5, assuming you use his first ability.
115.3b of the Magic Comprehensive Rulebook.
Blue-White Control must run this card in competitive standard! Therefore 5/5. An essential, a classic and contains a vast amount of power. Recipe for success.

I could pay for tuition for a semester of college OR I could buy a playset of this card. Hmmm...

Despise and Duress. Because I don't like watching my opponent spend every turn wondering whether he's going to draw a bunch of cards or deny me anything good off the top of my deck.

While the ultimate ability could possibly end the game right there, it's probably not going to see a lot of play. The other abilities are just too awesome to pass up. I don't think any blue deck would want to run without this guy.

How is this not 5/5. Seriously, its not even one of the top 3 rated planeswalkers. Hell, this thing should be on the first page of highest rated cards on gatherer.

I can't believe it took them THIS long to ban him. Stoneforge only really became insane with the additon of the Swords and Batterskull, but JTMC has been stupidly OP for too long
