Oh Jace, you so ingenious. Nice to see instant-speed card draw that is essentially a fixed Ancestral Recall.

The thing about Jace's Ingenuity that most people forget is that you don't lose tempo when you cast it on your opponent's turn. Cards like Mind Spring is great for draw a lot of cards, but it's bad because it slows you down and taps you out. Like many have said, Jace's Ingenuity played on your opponent's turn gives you options when combined with control spells.
Another thing people forget is that Jace's Ingenuity hits the sweet spot for most instant draw spells.
Inspiration is not powerful enough for only a mere two cards.
Opportunity is usually too expensive/late-in-the-game since it requires six mana.

I wouldn't run the full four copies of this in a deck, but at least one or two. It is a very helpful card with the instant speed. Oftentimes I play a foresee and wish I had that mana open instead to counter their Craterhoof Behemoth. Speed can make the difference between winning and losing the game.
Lyoncet, I agree. You forget Chandra's Phoenix, though, which has got to be her best card.

Jace's Ingenuity is much better than my Brilliant Plan...

Combos with Cancel. I prefer think twice, but this is a fine card for midgame. Decided not to counter? No problem card draw at end of turn.

God, that flavour text is pathetic.

@cyberium
Not all new players instantly recognize they should be playing blue and running counterspells. Which is frankly the way it should be. The main problem I see with casual right now is that it's kinda hard to prepare for all card types without having a sideboard. Mono green has a particularly hard time. Terastodon is great as an answer to most things, but other than beast within, there are very few ways to kill creatures. I saw a guy concede because his elderscale wurm got copied by a phyrexian metamorph right before he won because he realized he had no way to deal with a creature in his deck.
