Put a +1/+1 counter on up to one target creature. It gains vigilance until end of turn. Empower Jace 4. (Put four 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 60 Eng.B-Usr.

Immediately drawing with Jace replaces the card, while a permanent counter and possible later surveil make this a credible creature-deck role-player.

Best home Mono Green LandfallBand role-playerConfidence 63%

Could be wrong if Landfall may prefer proactive threats; a one-loyalty Jace after drawing dies easily, while unrevealed Empower/Jace payoffs could raise demand.

Pioneer 39 Eng.DUsr.

Izzet Aggro can use a sorcery-speed spell that permanently grows a creature and replaces itself, but that rate is fringe in Pioneer.

Best home Izzet AggroBand fringeConfidence 72%

Could be wrong if Creature decks may not have room for a two-mana sorcery; repeated Empower copies or unrevealed Jace payoffs are the upside case.

Modern 25 Eng.FUsr.

Izzet Prowess gets a spell and counter, but two sorcery-speed mana for card-neutral value is well below Modern's usual efficiency bar.

Best home Izzet ProwessBand speculativeConfidence 77%

Could be wrong if An undisclosed Jace-token payoff or unusually resilient prowess shell could make the leftover planeswalker matter more.

Legacy 17 Eng.FUsr.

A minor permanent pump plus an exposed, finite selection token is far too slow and low-impact for normal Legacy deck slots.

Band speculativeConfidence 82%

Could be wrong if Only an exceptional existing Jace-token interaction, not supplied here, would overcome Legacy's speed and selection quality.

Pauper 47 Eng.C-Usr.

Mono-Blue Terror can turn the counter and vigilance into relevant combat value while immediately replacing the card, but the token is exposed.

Best home Mono-Blue TerrorBand fringeConfidence 68%

Could be wrong if It may be too slow for blue tempo, though unrevealed Empower or Jace-token support could improve its role.

Commander 47 Eng.C-Usr.

Jace/Superfriends decks get a cheap planeswalker body that can draw a card and accept proliferation, but it is low-impact without synergy.

Best home Jace/SuperfriendsBand role-playerConfidence 62%

Could be wrong if Adoption depends on token planeswalkers and the Jace subtype meaningfully triggering deck payoffs, which the supplied context does not establish.

Limited 77 Eng.A-Usr.

For two mana it permanently improves a creature, then makes a four-loyalty token that can draw or repeatedly surveil; that is strong early-pick value.

Best home Blue-green creature decksBand first-pickConfidence 43%

Could be wrong if Draft speed, removal, and Empower/Jace synergy density are unknown; frequent attacks on the token would substantially reduce its value.

Cantripping creature enhancement

“Tam's Resistance is a board-dependent two-mana cantrip/pump whose Jace token rewards slower creature games but is inefficient in fast eternal formats.”

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