Triple Excommunicate for 2WW is not okay, period.

on 11 Jan 2011 by Visitor:

^ How about three 1/1 fliers for that price?

on 11 Jan 2011 by wolfer:

Three 1/1 fliers is fine. Battle Screech and Spectral Procession provide ample precedent.

The Excommunicate locking does seem like it could get annoying. Increased the cost to -2.

I'd feel bad activating this card's +2. All it does for you is make the game take longer.

on 12 Jan 2011 by wolfer:

Do other people agree that the +2 is something you wouldn't want to use, or is it merely a dislike of control strategies manifesting?

on 12 Jan 2011 by PMega:

The +2 really is quite underwhelming compared to Ajani's +1, especially when you consider that this card doesn't really even build up to an ultimate. The +2 only makes it so you might get two more Birds, and that's if they don't do 2 or more to Jace, in which case all you've done is waste a turn handing everyone life.

Point is, this is a planeswalker that there really is no motivation to keep alive. You're mostly likely just going to cast him as Spectral Processsion for 2WW.

on 12 Jan 2011 by hikaru_beoulve:

+2: Target creature gains protection from everything until the end of the next turn. (yay for Progenitus!)

-2: Exile target creature. Its controller searches their library for a land card and puts it on the battlefield (yay for situationally better/worse Path to Exile!)

The -X is fine I suppose, but it's kinda boring, I find.

Anyway, just my two cents on how to make white Jace more enjoyable and more powerful for his cost.

on 12 Jan 2011 by PMega:

All the abilities you suggested are kind of ridiculous.

on 12 Jan 2011 by hikaru_beoulve:

"Kind of"? They're totally ridiculous. Well, maybe not the pseudo-PtE, but if it only searched up basic land like regular PtE then it wouldn't be very ridiculous.

So yeah, maybe have the + ability just be protection from a color of your choice until the end of the turn?

on 13 Jan 2011 by wolfer:

Giving a + ability "target creature" restricts when you can use it. aka, you can't do it.

The card clearly doesn't seem it would work well, so I shall brainstorm alternatives. I really liked Jace’s Respite, so I'll probably fit +3 life gain somewhere in the first two abilities.

Ultimate is now emblemized to make it clear that the extra life your opponent gains isn't going to matter once when you get a ton of birds.
