CommentsStandard 59 Eng.C+Usr.—
Its self-contained Jace can make {R} immediately, then filter or draw if protected; slow control decks may accept its low immediate board impact.
Could be wrong if No revealed planeswalker shell or payoff establishes that control lists can afford this vulnerable turn-two investment.
Pioneer 47 Eng.C-Usr.—
Jeskai control can use the red mana and delayed card flow, but a two-loyalty token is a poor tempo play against Pioneer pressure.
Could be wrong if A resilient planeswalker-focused shell could make the global mana ability materially better than a fringe value engine.
Modern 34 Eng.D-Usr.—
The card offers a uniquely cheap walker plus delayed value, but it neither affects the board nor survives Modern's efficient pressure well.
Could be wrong if An established red planeswalker or proliferation shell could turn its granted mana ability into a real engine.
Legacy 29 Eng.FUsr.—
A two-mana, attackable setup piece is slow for Legacy, despite the unusual ability to turn planeswalker activations into red mana.
Could be wrong if Cheap mana and a sufficiently protected planeswalker shell could make its mana conversion more exploitable than expected.
Commander 64 Eng.B-Usr.—
In red superfriends, walkers can convert spare activations into mana while Jace supplies filtering and delayed cards; the token remains easy to remove.
Could be wrong if Adoption depends on enough red superfriends lists wanting this over protection, ramp, or stronger planeswalker payoffs.
Limited 64 Eng.B-Usr.—
A two-mana walker can reach three loyalty while funding a spell, then surveil or eventually draw; opponents can still attack it down easily.
Could be wrong if Set speed, removal density, and planeswalker support are unknown; fast boards could make the token substantially worse.
“A two-mana enchantment creates a fragile mana-producing Jace, with real long-game value but little immediate board control.”
AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
