For Challenge # 042

On balance, I think the flavour of a "young" version is sufficiently non-mythic it could be uncommon. A cocky, confident, but not very experienced planeswalker can logically be less powerful overall, even if she can cast the same spells.

I took several people's suggestions and made a simplest-possible version, with two +0 abilities. But I think this is plausible: a non-strictly better version of prodigal pyromancer that has a second ability.

Hmm. This is pretty close to strictly better than Vulshok Sorcerer, but that's no big deal. This does seem reasonable.

I think, however, that the idea of an all-[0] ability uncommon planeswalker is probably best combined with the absence of a planeswalker type. Or put another way, if you want your uncommon planeswalker to have a type like Chandra, it'd be a good place to use all minus abilities.

It's not a deal-breaker - Kamigawa had a small handful of uncommon legends like Sachi, Daughter of Seshiro and Nagao, Bound by Honor. But it seems a shame to miss the opportunity to use a natural way for the uncommon legends to naturally disappear of their own accord.

Good point about the types: I picked "Young Jace" for flavour reasons, but I agree having no name or a unique name would fit better.

Heh. Your 'strictly better' than a Vulshok Sorcerer is going to be rather surprised when I attack it with my Grizzly Bear. In fact, I think this might be underpowered for that reason... though it is tough to say.
