@ajpinton: Or even better: FOUR Jace's Erasures and at least TWO Consecrated Sphinxes: MORE CARDS FROM DECK TO SOMEWHERE along with his ultimate EVERY FREAKING TURN while GAINING loyalty counters:
Each player draws 1. Because your opponent(s) drew one, you draw four more (per opponent in the game). Because you drew four per opponent, and one from Jace himself, you get to activate all four Erasures FIVE TIMES AT THE MINIMUM! Let's count that. They drew 1 card, then milled... four times five is... twenty. Oh, wait. His ultimate says this: "-10: Target player puts the top twenty cards of his or her deck into his or her graveyard". You just preformed this for +2, ALONG with making them draw a card, for a total of 21 cards taken out of their deck. Not to mention the Jace's Erasure activations at the start of your turn, or the Consecrated Sphinx and Jace's Erasure when you decide to END your turn.
Note: I've actually been able to pull this off fair... (see all)

This is currently the only planeswalker that can benefit from the Sun Titan's ability...

He now has a pet named Consecrated Sphinx, to kill any down side from his +2 ability. I'll let you draw 1 so I can draw 3... I know its getting a little comboish, but adding Jace's Erasure now makes them draw 1 you draw 3 and they mill 3, how better can you spell card advantage???

Still a useful card. With all the draw in blue it is nice to get rid of their top 20 so you don't get decked if it comes to that.

One of my Favorite planeswalkers ever. Why? because he's is pretty the only planeswalker you can drop and your opponenet(s) won't go "OH CRAP WE GOTTA IT AND THE PLAYER (aka you) ASAP" having said that anyone smart enough will probably kill him quickly.
Personally i dont actively compare him to Money-Sculpter cuase thats just not fair (obviously Money-Sculpter is better and cost 12 times as much, but get over it). this guy is still one the best 3 drops around and i know its been said but a Kicked Rite of Replication on a Consecrated Sphinx and this guys +1 equals your opponents draws 1 and you draw 13 (or more depending on how many opponents you have), gotta love it...5/5 anyday

Jace is such a BAMF. Both versions. In my experience, Mind Sculptor doesn't tend to stay out too long - people are so scared of him he becomes an instant target. Beleren, however, makes people happy! Yay let's draw some cards! Beleren has helped me mill many an opponent, especially with Jace's Erasure to help out. Two of those and a Beleren just eat libraries. :)

Pulled this, a Frost Titan, and a Sarkhan the Mad all in one day. God, do I love good luck days like this. With all the scrying in this set, this card almost reaches the hights his Mindsculptor form did.

I think lil' Jace actually still has some playability in standard. He's not Mind Sculptor, true, but he does have a few significant advantages over big jace:
1. He costs 1 less. This is actually pretty significant, as mind sculptor competes with lots of other good 4 drops- like Day of Judgement.
2. His +2 does something for you immediately. Fatesealing just isn't that good, and you almost always need to do it immediately to put big jace out of lightning bolt range. The howling mine effect is, in most cases, superior for the control decks that tend to play jace.
3. His final ability is easier to activate. It costs less, and it's just easier to protect jace long enough for him to 'go off' with a constant howling mine effect than it is to protect a constant fateseal.
4. He doesn't cost 80$ a pop.
