@Nucleon: I'm not so sure it has to do with blue and green actually fighting against each other, but more to do with how they respectively deal with threats. In this kind of case, some punk casts Lightning Bolt or Fireball or something at Garruk. He can't do much, so he just braces himself for pain. The same thing happens to Jace, and he just flings it back. Garruk is impressed and goes "omg how did you do that".

Seems like a response to Garruk asking how to use Redirect! He's a fan of the titanic beasties, and not so much of the Terminates that keep making him a sad panda. So, naturally, he wants to swerve the spells on over to the opponent's side!
If you think about it that way, and think of Jace and Garruk as old pals, his comment doesn't seem so much a vicious slander as a chuckle between friends.
And, indeed, casting the spell is quite simple. You just need the power of two nearby islands and WOOSH oh dearie me

the flavor text shows more of Jace's dickery
the art is win
the card itself is win
20 fireball? sure, to yourself

Even though Jace isn't a red mage, he's still responsible for plenty of SICK BURNS.

Well, it's good to see that getting hit with the nerf bat did nothing to dampen Jace's dickery. =)
Seriously though. That's just uncalled for, man.

I love the flavor text too, but Garruk seems like an odd choice. Green doesn't really have many spells besides creature buffs that you'd want to use this on in the first place, and blue isn't exactly known for its aggressive creature strategies. "I'll Redirect your Titanic Growth onto my Grand Architect, hah!"
On the other hand, blue and green hate each other, and the flavor of blue being condescending to green like that is very fitting.

Garruk Wildspeaker, to Jace Beleren: "NO U"

Suddenly I feel a tremendous need for Garruk ripping Jace's head off

I find this flavor text funny as hell.
WoTC needs to print a bunch of cards that have a little argument/ conversation between Planeswalkers in the flavor text.
Preferably them trading insults.

Has anyone noticed the art similarities between this and reverberate? its like the red mage in reverberate is firing at the blue mage on this card.
Also, Flavor text is brilliant.
