This card is amazing and deserves nothing less than a 5/5, everything else is a hate rate from people who get butthurt over control magic. Do I agree with the fact that it makes the game more expensive? No, I hate it. But he's amazing regardless, and not as OP as everyone makes him out to be. Yes, he can win you the game, I've done it and had it done to me, but you have to understand that if you get into a "jace soft lock" (getting fatesealed ensuring no good topdecks, getting your creatures bounced and countered until he eventually exiles your library) you were already in a pretty bad board position. If you play him when you aren't in control, he dies, quickly. What makes him so great is that if he lives 2+ turns and you're behind, you can actually get into a better board position because of massive card advantage, which allows you to get into a position to say... Play another jace. He is a bit too powerful, due to this versatility. But you have to appreciate how beautifully synergist... (see all)

Well gee WotC. I liked magic when you actually had to think.
You know what? I'm rating this half a star. Because people throw this in a deck and think they are some sort of deck-building genius. This is a game-breaking card, and I really don't want to see further cards like it. It's not that I don't have the money to buy individual cards- I custom build decks that cost anywhere from $40 to $60 quite often. My issue is that this card has such a major impact on gameplay. He is basically an entire separate deck by himself. The card draw ability is massive, even if you don't get any loyalty counters. Hell, what with proliferate you probably won't need to use planeswalkers +X abilities anymore anyway. But you can still fateseal 1 an opponent after tutored for something anyway just to *** them off.
And then the ultimate. Dear god, what is that? I'll tell you. It's an unstoppanle win condition. At least with the other planeswalkers, you can recover from them. You might be in a very... (see all)

Powerful, especially for his cost. A very good blue walker. He has solid abilities, and costed fair. His ultimate will go off incredibly rarely, what with it requiring five uninterrupted turns to build up to it. If it gets there, it's almost always game. His 0 ability is probably his strongest.
As for him having 4 abilities, I'm ambivalent. I'm more curious as to whether they are going to do this just for specific walkers, or if it's the new standard. I'd assume the former, but I don't have any way to know.

I find it funny that they just banned this version of Jace for being too powerful and dominating tournament play...
Only to give him a THIRD version that essentially lets you cast Glimpse the Unthinkable every turn.
Yeah, no way Jace 3.0 is going to have the same problems as Jace 2.0... /sarcasm

Say what you will about Daddy Jace, but it's a joke to rate him anything below 5 stars.

I mainboard Vampire Hexmage just because of this guy. If you don't answer it, you lose, plain and simple. It's unfortunate cards like this come out sometimes that just butcher the game, reminds me of when I quit for a few years because of the Mirrodin block. This whole mythic rare thing is horrible for the game in my opinion.

Jace's 0 loyalty cost ability is basically "draw a new card" every turn. That's pretty powerful by itself.
Turn 1 - Use the ability the first time: look at 3 new cards. Put back 2 cards.
Turn 2 - Draw your normal card. Use the ability. You already know the top 2 cards in your library, but now you can see the third card which is new.
Etc.
