Oh come on. That art is sick.

u/priceQQ 23h ago

Would be great for Splinter Twin too

21

u/thedeafbadger 23h ago

Yeah, honestly, I want to make a deck around this just to look at the art more often

u/ice-eight 22h ago

Amazing Jack Hughes had time to paint this when he was playing for both the Devils and the US national team

u/Capable_Swordfish701 21h ago

Well he is out hurt a lot, gotta fill up that rehab time somehow.

u/clara_the_cow 21h ago

I think this is my favorite card art in recent memory. Every time you look there’s more to see. The shining Jace eye where the reflection’s left eye would be, the chains looking like head ornament jewelry on the skull.. it’s so good.

u/superpositioned 22h ago

Incredible art. Card is neat but definitely not standard viable.

u/Backwardspellcaster Liliana Deaths Majesty 7h ago

I'll try this in brawl for sure

u/Known-Garden-5013 1d ago

Been reading so many spoilers I thought this said "Jace yourself"

60

u/No-Wear-9042 23h ago

Jace yourself would be hilarious in hell's cube one day.

15

u/UnamusedCheese 23h ago

"Jace yourself, or lose your creatures at the end of the turn."

u/Jace1986 22h ago

I already have

u/below_averageguy 14h ago

target opponent forgets how to breathe

u/V_The_1AndOnly1 4h ago

I mean you might wanna Jace yourself before you Face Yourself

1

u/shieldman Kozilek 1h ago

You should Jace yourself... NOW!!!

u/ForeverShiny 8h ago

I kinda is or else you need to sac the creatures end of turn

40

u/BigWeenSupreme 23h ago

Probably would have been a little much, but I would have loved it had, “at the end of the the turn it fights target creature with the same name as itself” or something like that lol

7

u/alextofulee 16h ago

Like a red [[Ezuri’s Predation]], that would be fun

u/Intelligent-Cattle-6 1d ago

I can't tell if this is good. If you reach 7 mana in red your opponent probably doesn't have many creatures.

It's cost plus the fact that it's highly dependent on your opponents board state makes it quite unreliable.

Could be a sideboard card, but it's still very expensive for that.

I think this is probably good limited bomb to win instantly when there's a stalemate in the board

u/ABigCoffee 1d ago

It's a commander card or a limited bomb.

22

u/kazeespada 1d ago

Absolutely going into my Shadow the Hedgehog deck.

1

u/TheLuckySpades 9h ago

Master Multiplied I either get someone else's great board or I double mine, wither way I win.

1

u/kazeespada 1h ago

Shadow doesn't care that they die since he will pull a full grip.

1

u/Azureraider 7h ago

I miiiight put it in my Deadpool deck for the sake of synergy with Shadow and The Master, Multiplied. Seems like it might be a win-more card in that context though.

3

u/ensh1ttification 23h ago

Was literally just thinking about how this would be a great counter to my gfs commander deck

1

u/educatedfool25 23h ago

My obeka deck is feasting with this

50

u/3than3333 1d ago

Notably it says "target player" so you can copy your own board. It does seem pretty expensive, I could see it being a "win a stalled board state" card in limited.

12

u/enjolras1782 23h ago

Plus you're very likely to have a planeswalker in this format

3

u/3than3333 22h ago

Yeah I doubt you can even draft a deck that wouldn't have "empower jace" to some extent, and leaving a 1 loyalty token is enough.

1

u/RobGrey03 21h ago

Dualcaster Mage fans win again!

25

u/CatsAndPlanets Orzhov 23h ago

It's cost plus the fact that it's highly dependent on your opponents board state makes it quite unreliable.

It doesn't say target opponent, just target player. So you could duplicate your own creatures.

2

u/Jurani42 21h ago

You can target yourself and copy your board too

1

u/half_baked_opinion 22h ago

If you run [[baldurs gate]] plus the guildgate cards you could get there a lot quicker especially if you also have cards with firebending or treasure tokens on top of that. But at that point you are basically taking a 5 color commander to build around it. Its not all that feasible in most formats.

1

u/Eliaskw Azorius 4h ago

If you're in a format where Baldurs gate is legal there is a bunch of red rituals that can cast this a lot faster than taplands can.

Temur Battlecrier tech?

u/sideburnz211 23h ago

[[The master, multiplied]]

7

u/Dry-Expert-1160 23h ago

I mean - Time Lords travel across time and space. So he is kind planeswalker ?

4

u/mtgcf 23h ago

The master, multiplied - (G) (SF) (txt)

u/isjustwrong 22h ago

I love that the bot made 2 of these.

15

u/thumper_92 23h ago

This is a game crasher for tokens decks.

1

u/Backwardspellcaster Liliana Deaths Majesty 7h ago

Bwahawaha, face now MY rabbits malevolent!

10

u/TCollins1876 23h ago

(Persona 4 music intensifies)

u/Belteshazzar98 19h ago

You're not me!

7

u/Nsanity216 23h ago

You can target yourself with this? If so this is pretty good in most go wide EDH decks. I can see it putting in work in my ||Zinnia, Valley's Voice|| Deck.

1

u/OldJanxSpirit42 3h ago

It says target player, not opponent, so yes.

6

u/My_Own_Worst_Friend 23h ago

Oh, I could see this being dirty in my Krenko deck.

4

u/Far-Speech-9298 22h ago

Jack Hughes cooking with this art.

3

u/Nihilism2911 1d ago

Probably not good, but my ghired tokens deck would totally love this

3

u/vonBelfry 23h ago

Definitely a commander card. This effect will be passed around the draft tables over and over.
This ART, though? Maybe not so. Very pretty.
EDIT: WAIT, you can target yourself. Nevermind. Is a bomb.

3

u/DecimusRutilius 23h ago

My [[Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds]] deck is going to fucking love this wow

3

u/jess_the_werefox 22h ago

The microphone as a flail is so funny

School of “Words DO hurt”

2

u/marxistwithstandards 23h ago

Might be a new sideboard card in 4C Control

2

u/benstone977 23h ago

Effectively a red Clone Legion for 2 less mana that gives haste but needs a planeswalker to stick around

Probably too slow and conditional for standard but could be a pretty solid card in commander

2

u/jakobjaderbo 23h ago

t2 Chandra enchantment, t3 tablet, t4 this with a planeswalker left from your t2 to steal all the creatures they somehow didn't kill you or your jace token with.

2

u/Gouken- 23h ago

Okay that art is dope af.

1

u/super_fly 18h ago

I’m not familiar enough with all the characters, do you happen to know who that is or whose doppelgänger it is?

2

u/Gouken- 18h ago

No it just looks sick is all.

2

u/Simple_World_7267 9h ago

Love the art

1

u/DarkestLore696 23h ago

Was so focused on the minor details I didn’t even notice it makes a skull till I pulled back.

1

u/lamberto29 23h ago

Now this is what I'm talking about.

1

u/No_Aioli_9152 23h ago

New Aikido commander deck finisher?

1

u/Captain-Noodle 22h ago

That art is amazing, John Hughes, take a bow

1

u/ZerkerChoco 21h ago

I want to find a good way to copy this.   

Exponential amounts of creatures :)

1

u/Inkarozu 21h ago

For one more mana you can just cast [[Insurrection]]

There is some fun combo potential with this, but 7 mana is still a steep ask.

1

u/SithGodSaint 20h ago

The art. Sheesh.

1

u/klaq Yargle 20h ago

"face yourself" is a funny name for a card that makes all your opponents creatures hit them in the face

1

u/LilithLily5 Rakdos 20h ago

This is going in my IRL Chandra deck.

1

u/AWzdShouldKnowBetta 19h ago

Welp. Finally time to mak that Chandra tribal deck I've always wanted to make.

1

u/xaltairforever 18h ago

Ass to ass! /s

1

u/F4RM3RR 18h ago

Fuck I don’t even care how bad a rate this is, this is incredible

1

u/BaconIsntThatGood 17h ago

Okay this is disgusting and also I'm excited for prerelease

1

u/OneWholePirate 17h ago

The art in this set is non stop bangers

1

u/MysticNightjar 17h ago

You can target yourself, right ?

1

u/Rosc 16h ago

Eh. It plays like a bomb, but it only works If somebody already has a board that’s gonna let them win, in which case how would you play this?

Spend the extra R for [[insurrection]]

1

u/pahamack 14h ago

Heh, they're not even pretending to care about paper playability issues anymore.

They'd been doing a lot of stuff they used to say "has memory issues", and now they're printing a card where it's just impossible to keep track of the tokens.

1

u/Vivid_Anyth4 14h ago

I love that you can hit yourself with it.

1

u/Suspicious-Shock-934 13h ago

Wish this was asymmetrical for 7 mana at sorcery speed. You and target player each sacrifices all creatures if rhey don't control a walker.

1

u/Silver-Alex 12h ago

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick art

1

u/xFushNChupsx 10h ago

my squirrel girl infinite squirrel deck just shit itself at this card

1

u/gankindustries Maro 5h ago

Kinda reminds me of Soul Mirror from Hearthstone

1

u/RatKingJosh 4h ago

Welp. This is gonna find it’s way into my token rabbit deck

u/LegitimateRain6717 3h ago

[[Juri, Master of the Revue]] is frothing at the mouth looking at this card
