So if anyone believes that this card is not as "spectacular" as many make it out to be, you just haven't noticed what color set he's in. When you're playing blue, and you have multiple turn taking cards at your disposal, Lighthouse Chronologist and Time Warp, for standard, he starts to build up VERY quickly. He also (like ANY planeswalker) makes for a great distraction from your life total, or another planeswalker. People will be so defiant on killing him, that they will allow other planeswalkers, such as Venser, the Sojourner to build up to their maximum. Turn taking cards, proliferate, and cards like Gilder Bairn make planeswalkers (especially this one) absurd to deal with... and I love it!

Lightning Surge, Threshold. Nuff said.

Pretty clearly he's one of the most powerful cards ever printed and yet he's rated near the bottom of the planeswalker pile by gatherer users. This should tell you something about this guy. Wizards should take note.
Edit- never mind the Jace hate must be subsiding, his rating's back up.

I considered putting my one and only Mind Sculptor into one of my Commander decks. I decided against it, but it's a mighty tempting idea. I put in a Jace Beleren, so the deck isn't compleatly without delicious Jacey card-advantage.

Than +2 ability looks hilarious. Completely censor everything that comes to your opponent's hand. Then hit with the ultimate and watch in hilarity as their last turns involve drawing lands and other dead drops. But what really breaks this for me is his -1. He gets all this awesome stuff, and he can defend himself? Holy crap, what a walker indeed!

I know that this comment is likely going to be lost in the flood that are on this page, but can his 0 ability get any better? Avacyn Restored's Miracle mechanic, guaranteed to go off.. -sighs- I'm glad this card is never seeing standard again.

Honestly, I come back to this page after a while; and still think that this is the best card printed in the last ten years. It's so versatile, it's so strong, and it's just a lot of fun. I think Jace added an insane amount to Vintage and Legacy. He'd be a Modern All Star if he wasn't banned there, obviously, and all around I fan-boy'd the heck outta this card in Standard.

Dies to dreadbore, but it would probably get countered anyways
