Erhh... Not super happy with this one. Art's not that great (although I imagine it pops more in rl with the foiling). Seems more valuable to the EDH Crowd than the FNM grinders.
Oh well, can't win them all. Better than the pancake flipper by a strong margin.

Whoa, Jace looks really mad in that picture. Guess he's not happy about rotation.
I'm really glad that stupid "Friday Night Magic" thing isn't in the picture though.
It's a nice choice, if control was still interested in trying this card out, like it was when this was first printed.
Sadly, it's rotating, so it's the usual of printing a card right before it's gone from std. This has little chance of being played in other formats beyond std, considering the power level.
I'm glad to see the FNM stamp gone off the art, though this art could use some covering up.
hrmmmm, i wonder if MBC is going to come back strong someday... I remember the days of thieving magpie and counters... felt good to kill someone with a 1/3 flier lol... shackles helped too, but this card seems good
I once farted during the final match for prizes at an FNM. It was a tense moment, everything was quiet, control vs control, I was about to mana leak, thought about it.. and farted. Then mana leaked.
Is it just me or has this Jace been in to see a bad plastic surgeon? His nose looks quite large, compared to the other Jace arts we had. Almost Kithkin-like, or maybe he has been boxing with Chandra.
Still decent if not hot card for FNM. I like.
i was thinking the same thing, looks wierd to me. Not bad art though, and I love the card. I like the foil original art way more though so im not concerned about piking this up

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.
Something about this art bugs me...I think it's the way Jace is positioned in the graphic space. Seems like he should have been zoomed in on a little more. In that case, I'd blame the graphic designer that templated this card.
The art is ok at first and then you see Jace himself and wonder if this is from the perspective of a fun house mirror... And here I was all excited when I heard what the card would be
The only thing I can truly be thankful for on this card is that they got rid of that hideous "FNM" text that went over the art. THANK GOD.
Now if only they'd do the same across all their promo cards, we'd be set. Although, I do miss the FNM logo in the text box since the double shooting star seems a little redundant.

I would rather the star over the FNM stamp.
That's the part i'm most excited about, too.

I liked the FNM watermark. Not the stamp in the art frame, but the foil watermark in the text box.

So many promos ruined because their text box just looks like:

When you look at the real thing or a high res picture though, it always looks amazing.

Serious comment:
C'mon artist where have you been during the last years? Jace doesn't have THAT NOSE.
The card is fine, the art is horrible. I'm not going to pick this up

The previous arts looks like anime... I hate that.
The new look is more realistic
several characters have changed their appearance, an example is Karn.
Now if only they'd do the same across all their promo cards, we'd be set. Although, I do miss the FNM logo in the text box since the double shooting star seems a little redundant.
