After reading through these pages, I find it disturbing how so many players do not understand how priority works.

"Sure I'll Icy Manipulator your land so you can't do it"
LOL.
"I play Jace"
"SURE BOLT IT LOL GG"

+1: Draw a card, then target player mills a card
+0: Target player mills 10 cards
-7: Any number of target players draw 20 cards

He's been banned more times than a 4chan troll and a foul-mouthed brony combined!

Jace, the Mind Sculptor: Because nothing says "originality" quite like playing the same deck and combos as all of your friends

This card should never get reprinted. It was terribly designed, allowing too much power on one card. Jace the Mind Sculptor is a self-contained blue deck.
Allowing a single card to continually scry, brainstorm, and unsummon? Who thought that wasn't broken? You can move around your library or your opponent's library every turn or remove all creature threats in your way one at a time, without costing mana! AND it has an ultimate that pretty much wins you the game if you get it off.
Don't look for another JTMS, because this card was a mistake. They misjudged the competitive section of Magic and didn't think that four of these in a deck would be THAT bad. R&D probably won't ever create another walker with four abilities because they're so afraid of their mistake here.
@ParallaxtheRevan- FTV is not equal to a reprint. It's just an old infamous card that still is not legal in anywhere it wasn't before, but pretty and collectible. And the FTV this... (see all)

Snapcaster Mage and Delver of Secrets are going to make the new fourth Jace, Architect of Thought a lot better than he looks, and he looks ok, just not 'super great'.
But this guy, I do think will get a reprint, because Wizards knows he's super desirable.
Maze of Ith got back in the Vault.
Demonic Tutor is in Duel Decks.
Some really famous over powered cards have special versions not playable in Modern but good for blinging out EDH or Legacy/Vintage decks. So I do hold out the chance that in a special pre-boxed product, Jace the Mind Sculptor will get reprinted. But even then, the Worldwake ones will probably still be worth $50+. Maybe the lowest they could knock it down is $40 if the reprint was in something with a print run larger than the average Duel Decks. So if you are looking on ebay for Cheap Jaces, try to get them between 40-55, and don't pay more than 65 because it is possible to find better than that.

@Habreno
Except they could just use Jace's -1 right after to return maniac and STILL win.
Anyways about this card. I like to rate cards on gatherer a bit more on their playability. I like to break it down into parts of how well they were designed, how subjectively fun they are to play, and how they affected the environment. Culminating the overall results for the score.
Playability: 5/5
Okay, if you were just rating the card on usability. Jace is a no brainer 5/5. I'm not going too deep since it's been said to death. Just look at the fact that he is highly played in EVERY format that he's legal in. This includes vintage, VINTAGE. The format with the cards that are worth 15k? He sees play in there and wins games.
Fun: 2/5
What I mean by fun is how fun I subjectively feel the card is to play both with and against. How interested I am about putting it in other decks to see how it interacts or for what unique ways it can work along with its design. Jace is a bit bittersweet here.
Pl... (see all)

I don't care much for this card either, but there's absolutely no reason this should not be 5/5. Jace IS Blue Control.
It irritates me when people downrate a card just because they don't like it. So stop doing it. The star system isn't a scale for how much you like the card: it's supposed to TELL PEOPLE HOW GOOD YOU THOUGHT THIS CARD WAS.
Jace, the Mind Sculptor is the best planeswalker ever printed, and will with any luck BE the best planeswalker ever printed, ever. SO RATE IT THAT WAY.
You might not like it (I don't- this was an obvious design mistake), you might hate it, but SERIOUSLY- this is the best damn card in the 2010-2011 Standard Season. SO RATE IT THAT WAY.
