Its worth so much because people are afraid that every PW that comes out will be the next JTMS. So everyone panics and buys them for a lot more than they are worth on the off chance it shoots up to $100. This is especially true for this card because not only it is Jace, it also has some similarities with JTMS.
It seems to me that WotC wants Modern to replace Legacy as the go-to eternal format. They know unless they break the reversed list that Legacy is going to go hell eventually with very expensive decks. Modern gives them a chance a fresh start for a new eternal format that they can control more closely.
I would say Izzet Charm by a very large margin. Spell Pierce, creature-only Shock, or Faithless Looting on one card at instant speed for 2 is amazing. It can counter an annoying Planeswalker or kill a flipped Delver or draw gas when you're flooded. The card is almost never dead.
If I gave a damn about standard, sure. Only thing I'm looking forward to is price drops.
This is exactly what I was thinking. I've been waiting to sink some money into modern affinity once scars block rotates out. Hopefully Mox and Inkmoth won't be too expensive.
One of the best things about yugioh imo is the lack of lands or similar cards. Although the lack of a resource system like this is one the biggest reasons why yugioh is broken, there are games of magic that come down to how many lands you draw or don't draw. I know mulliganing, proper deckbuildings, and good shuffling usually prevent this, it can still happen.
One of the biggest differences between yugioh and magic is that yugioh has almost nothing that can be compared to magic's color system. This is the reason why Pot of Duality is played in almost any deck but Ponder is not. Yugioh at its core is a broken game since everything is virtually free to play, but it was one reason why I still love to play yugioh. Sometimes the totally broken Future Fusion hands in chaos dragon's can be really fun to play especially if your opponent manages to pull out a win. I've been playing yugioh since it debuted in North America and I don't see myself stopping even though magic is a much better game.
The favor text makes me think its kind of like the True Blood of the Magic world. Vampires can drink it in order to stay alive without having to drink blood.
