When Way of the Healer enters, empower Jace 5. (Put five loyalty counters on a Jace token you control. If you don't control one, first create a blue Jace planeswalker token with "ED: Surveil 1" and "3: Draw a card.") Planeswalkers you control have "2: Create a 2/2 colorless Wizard Soldier creature token named Cadet. Surveil 1."
Predicted power
Standard 83 Eng.AUsr.

At least as self-contained as Enduring Curiosity (82): it creates a five-loyalty Jace immediately and can snowball Cadets, surveils, and cards.

Best home White-based midrange/controlBand stapleConfidence 66%

Could be wrong if Aggressive decks may pressure Jace down before repeated Cadet or draw activations generate enough advantage.

Pioneer 70 Eng.B+Usr.

More resilient than Enduring Curiosity (64) because the enchantment and Jace split opposing answers; it is a credible recurring control finisher.

Best home Azorius ControlBand competitiveConfidence 64%

Could be wrong if Pioneer's efficient disruption and board pressure may make a four-mana tap-out engine too slow.

Modern 56 Eng.C+Usr.

Unlike setup-dependent Fight Rigging (32), this immediately supplies a high-loyalty planeswalker and value engine, but four mana remains a major Modern tax.

Best home Esper BlinkBand role-playerConfidence 59%

Could be wrong if Fast decks and efficient answers may prevent a sorcery-speed four-drop from stabilizing often enough.

Legacy 38 Eng.DUsr.

More self-contained than Overlord of the Balemurk (30), but four mana is a severe liability against Legacy's cheap permission and pressure.

Best home UWx ControlBand fringeConfidence 61%

Could be wrong if Force of Will-level interaction and faster proactive strategies may leave no viable window to resolve and protect it.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 67 Eng.BUsr.

A five-loyalty Jace plus repeatable Cadets and surveil is a powerful engine for planeswalker decks and remains useful as a standalone value card.

Best home SuperfriendsBand competitiveConfidence 69%

Could be wrong if In multiplayer, opponents can collectively attack Jace or remove the enchantment before its repeated activations take over.

Limited 91 Eng.A+Usr.

A four-mana five-loyalty planeswalker with immediate Cadet access and repeatable surveil is a difficult-to-answer, game-dominating bomb.

Best home Any white deckBand bombConfidence 48%

Could be wrong if The unrevealed environment's removal density and speed could make protecting Jace less reliable than expected.

Planeswalker token engine

“A four-mana self-contained planeswalker engine that should dominate Limited and matter in white value decks, but faces steep eternal-format tempo tests.”

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