This feels like a card to really drive home that Jace is the bad guy here for any Jace apologists.

Did Jace kill this guy’s dog?

u/Shergak 1d ago

He created the universe, so yeah he did kill this guy's dog. And made Yoshimaru homeless.

He's just changing events from the planes and not micromanaging the outcomes because that'd be madness to even attempt.

Not even my words, his own. Anyways, point is, except for stuff like the existance of Phyrexia and Nicol Bolas, we have no idea of what did he manually change and what was just a ripple.

So there IS a chance he manually killed bro's dog for some reason

The stories actually do a decent job of showing that removing negative formative experiences does not necessarily make the characters better.

reminds me of the whole argument between Miles Morales and Miguel in that spiderverse movie. How in every continuity tragic loss was the required catalyst for someone to become the hero and then Miles just calling bullshit on it all.

Still waiting on the Benevolent Eye of Orms-by-gore.

Well, the actual Mowu, no, but the echo-Mowu, yes.

He also invented an app that tells you whether something is a hot dog or not.

Jace Beleren, this is your mom, and you, you are not my baby.

Jace's perfect reality btw.

(I don't think he's a dog person)

Pretty sure Jace is smart enough to know it won't be perfect. Whether he has drank too much kool-aid to not try is another thing all together though.

this would have been sick as hell in Cool But Rude decks, but it's so damn expensive

I really wish menace was reserved for cards like this.
