This card is incredibly broken. I don't know what WotC was smoking when they play test this.

Even if it only has the 0 loyalty ability, it is still broken. Hell, it would still broken if that only reads: :Draw a card
Even if the opponent kills it the turn it dropped, a card is still drawn, card advantage is always guaranteed. If the opponent don't managed to do it, the card advantage gained would have been impossible to recover.

Did an artifact, enchantment, or creature costed CMC4 and lets you draw a card the turn it comes to play and every other your turn without any payment? NO.

It is just extremely ridiculous to have printed a card like this. I'd agree this card should cost at least 5BlueBlueBlue to play for its functions, and even so it is still a viable kill card.


In response to those who said there are so many cards that can deal with this: This card is actually the counter to your spell if you think about it. All I have to do is to drop this and get a card from my lib... (see all)

This card is soooo broken as it patches up all of blues problems. Heck I would say unless your pulling some combo to win turn 1-3 he belongs in almost every deck with blue ever made. So sick of people winning with him as their crutch.

And soon to be banned in Extended as well. JB's got a pretty good streak going. At this rate I'll be able to afford a single copy sometime in the next 4 or 5 years.

@sniper_ix Jace is played in pretty much every blue Commander, Legacy, and Vintage deck. Just because he got banned out of standard and modern doesn't mean he doesn't still see play. Turn 1 jace off of Black Lotus and and land is no joke in vintage. Even a turn 2 jace off of Sol Ring and it's ilk are the nuts.

This card is easily the best 4 drop ever printed with or without mana acceleration. Whether or not this was a design error, I strongly believe that you cannot argue it's power level in all formats it's legal in. Anyone who debates this card's power is either butthurt or extremely ignorant. This is one of the best cards ever printed. Just goes to show the sheer power creep of zendikar block. I don't like how cards like these tend to push aggro out of standard though. Aggro is way more fun then control mirror matches. :(

5/5

@Paolino; actually Jace is a card that you cast just like Brainstorm is. If you activate it twice then you're netting an extra card. If you activate it once, you just spent 4 mana for the same effect. Granted, you do technically gain 3+ life depending on which creature attacked Jace after you "brainstormed".

Now, if they bolt him instead of attack w/ creature, then you're gaining card advantage again, but that's an entirely different story.

Why is this card still popping up when I look for blue Standard? Is there something someone's not telling me?

@ TimmyForever: I don't know if you are just some kind of uber-troll or your comments are complete jokes or you're trying to make people mad, but that last one seems to be what's happening.

Take a look at your own comment. -One billion to win the game?

An alternate win condition. That card must suck.

Almost all the things you mentioned that can kill him FAIL if you simply COUNTER THEM. Also, most of those require targeting. Spellskite. Yeah, Jace is overrated by some people, but it's also rated ~ 4 because haters like you hate extremely broken cards.

Name another planeswalker with 4 abilities. Nope, you only have one. Hating cards. His +2 can screw Miracle decks. You can say they're not competitive but try saying that to Alexander Hayne. His 0 gets you a card that could've taken 3 turns to draw, and puts the other cards in the order you want. His -1 deals with a creature UNTIL YOU COUNTER IT WHEN IT'S RECAST. -12 is not -One billion. Every turn you're getting 2... (see all)

Finally you got banned, its about time...Didn't Wizards ever thought or saw that most deck in standard before Scar of Mirrodin set is using JMS, and most players using him are winning the tourneys, in that sense they should had banned it long before.
