    New M12 Planeswalkers

    We finally have pictures of all three of the new Planeswalkers in M12. It’s been a long time coming and we’ve had a fair amount of speculation, especially following our spoiling of the new art for all three, but now we’ve got official confirmation from Wizards on the text for all three upgrades to our old favorites.

    First, we have the new Jace. This is Jace 3.0, or Jace, Memory Adept. We showed you this card last week, but for those of you who haven’t seen him yet, leave us a comment and let us know what you think.

    Next we have Chandra, The Firebrand, a fantastic new brew for Chandra, one of my favorite planeswalkers. DJ wrote a great article on her last Friday, be sure to check it out.

    And finally, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. We finally have Garruk 3.0. He’s bigger and badder than ever, still a beast-maker, but also a pretty beastly source of card advantage – something Green often struggles with.

    I know that this post is brief and to the point, but we want to know what YOU think. Comment to let us which planeswalker you’re looking forward to in M12 and why. Then, check out our podcast for our in-depth analysis of the planescape of M12.

    M12 Planeswalkers – Jace Has Been Spoiled!

    Last week we brought you what we think/hope will be the new Garruk.

    Along with that mock-up, we showed you the “confirmed” artwork for the new Jace and Chandra incarnations.

    Now, we have absolute assurance that the art we showed you was indeed a spoiler of what you’ll get in M12, but we also have confirmation of Jace 3.0, or as you’ll call him henceforth, Jace, Memory Adept.

    Here is the picture that we have, along with a text rendering of his abilities:

    Jace, Memory Adept – 3UU
    Planeswalker – Jace (Mythic Rare)
    +1 Loyalty – Draw a card. Target player puts the top card of his or her library into his or her graveyard.
    0 Loyalty – Target player puts the top ten cards of his or her library into his or her graveyard.
    -7 Loyalty – Any number of target players each draw twenty cards.

    Loyalty 4

    There he is! What do you think? Is this a more fair replacement for Jace, The Mind Sculptor? Does it seem strange to print a third Jace when Wizards just banned the second? Leave us a comment and let us know your reaction to this announcement.
