You put loyalty counters as part of the ability activation cost, so in the situation you just described bolt would not kill him...

I'm on the casual side of the spectrum. I've never seen this gentleman in play and I hope I never do.
I understand exactly why this card is amazing. The problem is... it's kinda dumb. Card advantage and draw control are extremely useful, but they're boring abilities. A good card is one that makes you say "What an awesome ability!" This makes you say "I could use this to win more games."
Progenitus is a good card. "Protection from everything" is an ability that makes you do a double-take, gives you a moment of impending terror when it hits the battlefield. Jace isn't interesting at all, and a dumb way to blow several hundred dollars if you're anyone but the most hardcore tournament players.
Even if you gave me 4 of these for free, I wouldn't use them because my friends would stop playing with me. I won't even put my Sol Rings in my decks because they're not a satisfying way to win.
So yeah, I don't care how good he is, as far ... (see all)

He's up to $59.99 on StarCityGames. He's more like "Jace, the Money Scalper".

I wish that they made this guy more expensive (maybe five mana? six?) or something so he wouldn't be banned. he's such a cool planeswalker. it's a real shame that they made him just a wee-bit too overpowered.

This was the card that was holding Caw-Blade back, right?

Banned in Modern? My friends, look at the PT Philly results. Is a {2UU} fast enough to edge you out against Goryo's Vengeance, 12post, and Splinter Twin? Maybe. Is it fast enough to edge you out against Blazing Shoal powered Mono Blue Infect? I believe Jace just wet himself.

Funny, the name on this card says Jace, the Mind Sculptor.
I always thought it was Jace, the AUEAUAUEAEUARRGH.

Lorescale Coatl? Archmage Ascension? Tutoring up that final mill barrage might be nice once it's active.

I have only one thing to say about this card: F*ck you Jace, f*ck you.
