Pardon My Nerdiness...

So here are Jace's 80% confirmed abilities:

[+2]: Look at the top card of target player’s library, you may put it on the bottom of their library.
[0]: Draw three cards, then put two cards from your hand on top of your library in any order.
[-1]: Return target creature to its owner’s hand.
[-12]: Exile all cards from target player’s library, then that player shuffles his or her hand into his or her library

For Jace to go Ultimate here's how it breaks down:

Turn 1:
Turn 2:
Turn 3:
Turn 4: +2 /// 5 Loyalty on Jace
Turn 5: +2 /// 7 Loyalty on Jace
Turn 6: +2 /// 9 Loyalty on Jace
Turn 7: +2 /// 11 Loyalty on Jace
Turn 8: +2 /// 13 Loyalty on Jace
Turn 9: -12 /// 1 Loyalty on Jace
Turn 10: Eventually they draw how ever many cards that were in their hand AND YOU WIN!

Getting Jace to blow up will take you a while. I think this may be the most difficult Ultimate ability to pull off yet. I've been able to make every Planeswalker go Ultimate a couple times, except for Sorin Markov because I don't have one. But Jace's requires that he stays on the board for 6 turns! Controlling the board for 6 turns is difficult to pull off.

BUT THE JACE ABILITY THAT I'M MOST EXCITED ABOUT IS... *DRUM ROLL*...

[0]: Draw three cards, then put two cards from your hand on top of your library in any order.

BRAINSTORM!!! THANK YOU WOTC!!! All we need now is a good utility counterspell (not Cancel).

Brainstorm, in my opinion, is the best draw card ever! Granted Jace makes it a Sorcery and will initially cost you 2UU, but if you keep Jace alive, then that's infinite Brainstorms!

I love the brainstorm too man!

I think it works real well with his +2 ability as well. Pretty awesome, pretty exciting!!

Thanks for sharing the picture!! It's sooo refreshing to see a new card as Zendikar has dried up!!

As far as the master's series, I'm totally trying to qualify! There's only one event in Chicago though! Either way, I am planning to go to GenCon next year!

We should all plan to go? Jimmy wants to go to check out the board games, and I just wanna go play Magic all weekend. Talk to the boys about planning a trip down here, and we'll all head out to Indiana that Wednesday night or Thursday!! :)
