BECOME JACE in the [Magic: the Gathering] Thread!

Masters 25 is upon us! You can buy a Prossh, Skyraider of Kher for $1! Or a foil version for $60! At least Cultivate is down below its usual $1-2 so you can afford to pick up a copy for your ten commander decks all at once! Or maybe you wanna play the Jace roulette! Crack a pack, get a Tree of Redemption! My local game store actually has a No-Tree Guarantee that will replace the tree you opened in-store with a fresh pack, so you can open a Niv-Mizzet instead. Personally, I don't care how wonky the drafts are, I adore the "Cards from every set" gimmick to death.
The upcoming Dominaria had all its interesting cards leaked already. The likely lack of masterpieces has us looking forward to the other most important part of a set: Basic Land art! Will we get the classic artworks or new ones with nostalgic references? Also, there's enchantments that look like this:
Signature Spellbook: Jace is a collection of eight cards plus one random premium foil version of one of those eight cards for the serious blue mage. Each card has Jace-flavored art and special frames just for this set. Check out the packaging and the eight cards below!
it's gonna be funny when they have to make one for gideon and gin up 8 "i hit him with my whip" spells

FINALLY I CAN BECOME JACE, LIKE I ALWAYS DREAMED.
Eh, the cards look alright, and they had some pretty good picks, but I probably don't need any of them. I am looking forward to what the other walker's cards look like. I don't know what I'll do if they make one for Kiora.

I do like how a lot of the picks are good, often-played cards, rather than just ones with Jace's name on them, though I have to mourn the lack of stuff like Jace's Phantasm or Mind Sculpt. Maybe 8 cards isn't enough? At least you get a 1/8 chance of a foil you want.
I don't know how long it's gonna take for them to get around to a character that I'm enthusiastic about. There's the six Gatewatch members, then a bunch of other prominent ones like Garruk, Sorin, and Nicol Bolas. And there's definitely room in there for a Jace 2, etc. Elspeth and the like could get bumped up if their moment in the story spotlight lines up just right. But how many of these are they doing a year, again?
And how will they design the special frame when they do a spellbook for a multicolored planeswalker? Jace's spells have a very unified design, which I like. But if they did, say, Kiora, would they have to find 7 other Blue/Green spells? Or have a mix of Green, Blue, and multicolored cards? And how buckwild are they gonna get with the frames? I fully expect Chandra to be this frame again, but red, and I am totally down for that, but when they get to another blue planeswalker, I want them to look different from Jace's cards.

Played Storm tonight. Got to bring in the new sideboard tech and go off with it.
Casting Pieces of the Puzzle off an active Pyromancers Ascension is DIRTY. Like just some NC-17 rated filth.
Huh

The Reprint of Lily should really drive down her price for people looking to get into Jund

Or maybe not, depending on what's in em.

Pity it's Jace. And also Blue.
Get back to me when the Arlinn Kord one comes out.
It's be easier if Gideon wasn't mono-white. If green or red were allowable he'd have access to a lot more spells that boil down to "FITE ME"
I thought gideon's bit was being indestructible
that's garruk's bit

Not a fan of this. Less so if it's standard legal.
in fact since they will be literally handed out probably not very much at all?
big difference between ace and incel

Yeah, it works out this time, but the question, as always, is what if they keep doing this and a Buy-a-Box promo card turns out to be really strong?
I'M JACE!
i dunno, it'll be like 30-40 dollars like popular standard mythics The Scarab God and Rekindling Phoenix
it's Opt, the G/W legend that has +1/+1 equal to your creatures, and a new 1B instant removal spell that destroys a non-legendary creature

Did they reverse the “fnm prizes are only tokens now” thing in addition to every other major decision they made in the last five years
Yeah they announced that a little bit ago
ive been bitching about that pretty vocally since it happened so that'd be awesome
