Being able to pitch a blue card to a Force of Will in the graveyard is very strong for combo because you protect your hand for 0 mana unlike Snapcaster Mage that would cost 3 mana at the minimum to protect a spell (via spell pierce) since Snapcaster gives flashback and Jace does not..
Perhaps Unmask can make its way into the legacy scene with Jace backup.
I feel like paying mana for any other reasonable discard spell is still better than Unmask, even with Jace 12.0. Or whatever he's called. Jace-Vern. JV Allstar. Something dumb.
Isn't it the same boat as any Threshold card or Tarmogoyf - enabling it isn't a question, we're all cracking fetchlands and casting efficient spells and so it doesn't really require special means to make it work. The only thing you should ask is which card is it actually better than, and just replace that card.
I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

I've seen Ghirapur Aether Grid used as wincon in Lantern Control and now in Modern Affinity.
Maybe it could have a place in Legacy as well?
