    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.

    Over the past weeks, since the release of the M12 promotional pictures, there has been lots of speculation as to which planeswalkers would appears in M12. Sorin has been confirmed, Gideon we are almost sure of, but a disturbance in the force last week suggested that an advertisement for M12 in Japan revealed that the reprinted Jace, Chandra, and Garruk have different names than their previous incarnations.

    The question then became, “What can we expect now that we have NO IDEA what our remaining three planeswalkers will look like?” Obviously Jace won’t be The Mind Sculptor, and Chandra Ablaze was considered more or less a failure by Wizards R&D.

    Today some new images surfaced that are mock-ups which are a mix of spoiler and speculation on the new planeswalkers. The Japanese text for Garruk, at least, is available here, and we’ll assume that the translation is accurate. The art for all three of the cards below, we hear, has been “confirmed”. The abilities (and titles) on Jace and Chandra are still completely, out of the air, speculative, however.
