So stupidly over-hyped. You know why he's not broken? Because Tezzeret is better. TEZZERET wins tournaments all by himself. TEZZERET grabs your Time Vault and takes infinite turns for you.
If Jace is the "most broken card you've ever seen" then you are simply ignorant. You know what I want a spell to do for me if I'm going to pay four mana for it? I want it to let me to be able to play all the cards in my graveyard this turn. Wait --- That only costs 3.
Or I want that four mana spell to let me draw 3 cards with no drawbacks. Wait, that costs 1.
I'd even take just a regular Brainstorm over him. Why pay 4 mana for a Brainstorm when I can just pay 1? Because I can do it EVERY TURN?
You know what's wrong with that "Every turn" mentality? That Tendrils only takes 1 turn to kill you. That Dredge will smash your face in before your Jace knows what buttr@ped him. That DECKS THAT WIN IN THE FIRST FEW TURNS DON'T CARE WHAT YOU CAN DO EVERY TURN.
Take that Bitterblossom. You deserve that hate t... (see all)

@statiefreez, you can have a jace berlen and one of these at the same time. same as you can have rhys the exiled and rhys the redeemed at the same time. or that you can have cards that are long dead. the legendary role is that there is only one in exestense but that only refers to that time period. mindsculpter is a diferant person as long as magic is concerned
realy? i asked about it to, i would think that it wouldnt, but i was told it did. does that mean that the same is true for legendary creatures in diferant forms?

The players who defend Jace's +2 ability and having priority are right up to a certain point. You do have priority, but once you activate has ability it is put on a stack. It does not happen automaticly. If you choice to do nothing after that you have to pass priority to him, because he has every right to respond to you activating that ability and putting it on the stack. If he lighting bolts Jace. His lighting bolt will kill Jace before his ability ever has a chance to resolve in the stack. That is of course if no other spells are put in the stack to save him. So all anyone has to do to kill him is wait to respond to his activating ability, because at some point priority has to be passed to you to respond or just wait during combat phase or any part of their turn when sorceries can't be played. Since his abilities can only be played when they can play sorceries (Main phases). Also since his abilities are played as a sorcery. Its good to know later in the game that sorceries can't be p...

The worst part about obviously broken cards like this are that they cost the same to make (printing and drawing on some specialized cardboard) as your average Raging Goblin. But, according to findmagiccards.com...
Jace, the Mind Sculptor: $78.08
Raging Goblin: $0.08
If it's profitable to make a card to make a card for 8 cents, it would be much more profitable to make one that costs $78 more! So Wizards is making all these crazy cards that everybody will buy, for the same production cost as Mr. Common over there.
Sure, I've bought some expensive cards online. I gave my older brother $50 for some slips of cardboard. But one card costing more than the money I get for Christmas is a problem.
If, by chance, there is a person in the Wizards economic division reading this comment, let me say one thing: Great business strategy, but it's going to *** people like me off.
Thank you for reading my five-pararaph rant.

Where are the typical 'dies to lightning bolt' posts you can always expect, if this would have been a creature???
I can understand that WotC wishes that every deck runs 4x Jace or any other planeswalker. Beside all those fetchlands and duals, this would generate a huge income! $$$...B.I.N.G.O...$$$ - I would do the same, if I want could create such a high value out of paper cards created for teenagers & young adults! If they can afford x-Boxes, iPhones, Nike shoes, etc. they will spend $50 for a card too.
But they made a terrible mistake.... planeswalker can be attacked ... and even worse can be damaged by spells. And that's why they aren't overpowering anything else. That's such a pitty!!! Not all the decks running 4x Elsbeth and 4x Jace... even if no other enchantment, no other artifact has ever created such highly overpowered effects.
And what's even worse than that... have fun with a Broodbraid Elf cascading into a Ball Lightning...

So very versatile. -1 ability my creature, Day of Judgment, put my creature back is one of my favorite plays. 0 ability, put two lands on top, Treasure Hunt is another good one. The card is currently over $80 for an online copy. I know for certain that I wouldn't pay that much money, but the fact that I drafted 4 of them in a mere 8 Zen/Zen/Wwk drafts has me seriously considering forking over the cash for the other money cards in {W}{U}, especially now that Baneslayer Angel will be around for another year.

How did anyone not give this a 5/5? It's easily the best card in the set... maybe the best in the block... It's amazing.

This is the favourite of the Azorius (White&Blue deck). Given the ability to control his opponents next card draw, choose what card you want in the top three of your deck, bounce eldrazi/angels/demons back into opponents hand, he pretty much has control the fate of the game himself. He's a 5/5 no doubt.

The only reason someone wouldn't give this 5/5 is out of hatred from losing to him.
