Common · Reality Fracture · Art by John Tedrick
When this creature enters, empower Jace 2. (Put two loyalty counters on a Jace token you control. If you don't control one, first create a blue Jace planeswalker token with "[−1]: Surveil 1" and "[−3]: Draw a card.")
Predicted power
Standard 53 Eng.CUsr.

A 3/2 plus two immediate-or-eventual surveils is acceptable grindy value, but it is slow and does not draw a card without another empower source.

Best home Dimir TempoBand fringeConfidence 57%

Could be wrong if Unrevealed empower/Jace payoffs could make the token substantially more valuable, while efficient removal may make three mana too costly.

Pioneer 34 Eng.D-Usr.

The body and delayed selection are below Pioneer’s usual three-mana bar; no supplied competitive shell clearly wants this over more immediate threats or value.

Band fringeConfidence 64%

Could be wrong if A dedicated artifact or Jace-token shell could turn later copies into reliable card draw.

Modern 27 Eng.FUsr.

It contributes an artifact and some selection, but a three-mana 3/2 with no immediate card or board swing is a poor fit for Modern’s speed.

Best home Izzet MetalcraftBand speculativeConfidence 70%

Could be wrong if Metalcraft lists may value a self-contained artifact permanent more highly if their artifact-count incentives are unusually demanding.

Legacy 21 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy’s three-mana creatures need exceptional immediate impact; two surveils on a vulnerable token does not meet that efficiency threshold.

Band speculativeConfidence 75%

Could be wrong if A presently unseen Jace-token engine or artifact combo could give the otherwise weak body a specialized role.

Pauper 43 Eng.D+Usr.

A common artifact body with repeatable surveil is testable in slower artifact decks, but three mana and 3/2 stats are weak beside Pauper’s efficient engines.

Best home AffinityBand fringeConfidence 61%

Could be wrong if If the Jace token is difficult for typical decks to pressure, its repeated selection may prove better than this rate suggests.

Commander 47 Eng.C-Usr.

It supplies an artifact, creature, planeswalker token, and selection in one card, making it a sound niche inclusion for decks that add loyalty counters.

Best home Jace and proliferate decksBand role-playerConfidence 67%

Could be wrong if Outside loyalty-counter synergies it is only a modest 3/2 and two surveils, likely too replaceable for optimized lists.

Limited 62 Eng.B-Usr.

Three mana for a 3/2 plus a Jace token that can surveil twice provides meaningful selection and a secondary damage target, though not immediate card advantage.

Best home Blue value decksBand solidConfidence 48%

Could be wrong if Unknown set speed, removal, and token synergies could move this from solid value to either premium or slow filler.

Artifact value creature

“A modest body that creates a fragile Jace selection engine; it needs repeat turns or further empower cards to generate real card advantage.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
