There has been rumours of Jace, the Mind Sculptor being unbanned in modern in November. Any sources on this? SCG price now sits at $100 a Jace... any idea why?
He is seeing increased play in Legacy now that Tezz and Counter top Miracles are Popular decks at the moment. Still seems high since he was that much when 4x in 90% of standard decks. This is more SCG price price manipulation. He would spike, maaaybe find a home in 1-2 decks then drop off again after he has little impact.
True, and here's the substantiating evidence, considering that Gatecrash is scheduled for release on Feb 1, 2013:
Quote from Sept 20, 2012 DCI Banned and Restriced List Update »
Going forward, Banned and Restricted updates will by synchronized with set releases. For each set, starting with Gatecrash, the announcement will be the Monday after the Prerelease, and the effective date will be the same as the release date of the set.
Beyond the Youtube user's discrepancy in the timing of releases (understandable considering it was changed in the most recent B&R Update) there is no evidence for or against his anonymous source having been correct in the past.
As an aside, the whole scenario seems kinda fabricated to me. User says he traded all six of his copies of JTMS away, yet is clearly holding four copies in his hand. Maybe its a bad attempt at viral marketing for his website that he plugs at the end of the video. Who knows? I say write this one off unless he reveals his source or substantiates that his source has been correct in the past.
please. like there weren't bitter memories of bloodbraid into blightning. or valakut, primetime kill you. or turn 2, delver revealing mana leak. its a poor excuse.

there could be a lot of explanations for a price spike. one is that someone started a rumor that jace will be unbanned, despite the 0% chance that this rumor is based off any shred of evidence, and then people start buying jaces in speculation.
has anyone heard and jace-unbanned rumors? oh wait thats what this thread is about? mystery solved then.
He'd be fine to be unbanned except in terms of one area. That area being price. People are complaining about goyf's price and no respite for that is going to come before june 7th. But if they unban jace, oh dear lord people will be quite upset over having to pay 600 for a playset of jace as that is probably the price jace would go to if he was unbanned. He'd cost more than most legacy cards including underground sea. The only cards in legacy that would be more expensive than jace would be the fringe ones like moat, tabernacle, imperial recruiter, and candelabra of tawnos.
I can see jace getting unbanned eventually. Just not when gatecrash comes out, unless WotC listens to Chapin's thoughts on what he thinks should be unbanned.

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."
The answer is simple, more people are playing Legacy.
Demand is up.
Also Star City bought up a lot of legacy staples (which I suppose translate to modern as well, sans jace) which spiked the prices on several important cards.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.

Hoax.
Any reason for the huge price spike?

Economics. Prices rise, prices fall.

Speculate less. Test more.
Demand is up.
And it's RUMOR, NOT RUMOUR.
Rumor is the American spelling. Rumour is also a perfectly legitimate way of spelling it.
More on topic, I sincerely doubt Jace will ever be unbanned. I think some people still have bitter memories of Jace.standard.
