That special frame looks actually nice. The white font for the card name and the mana symbols, not so much.

[morgan_coke]

That's actually really cool, but of course they ruined it by not putting in the actually playable Jace Walker.

[Megadeus]

Jace orgy art makes me sad.

[PirateKing]

I actually don't mind the frame and the negative color scheme for the text and mana symbols.
The bottom frame flourish is a but much.
Card selection isn't awful.
Art is awful.

Problem is, things manufactured to be pimp are by definition, not pimp. So there's no reason to get any of them.

[Ace/Homebrew]

Frame and white text have grown on me a bit after looking at these a few times.

Brainstorm art should have been Ponder...

I didn't see anything about MSRP. You get 1 (!) random foil card. That will probably result in expensive foil copies, unless they shit the bed and go with FtV-style foil.

[PirateKing]

If they do a Liliana set with the white text on black and we get Entomb or Hymn to Tourach or Dark Ritual, that might be something.

[Ace/Homebrew]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about Chandra with Lightning Bolt, Pyretic Ritual, and REB.

[bruizar]

Jace Luc Piccard? These frames belong in a sci-fi tcg

[Dice_Box]

Until they make BEB common I do not see value in reprinting it.

[Claymore]

I wonder what the rate of foils will be. Notice that Brainstorm is a rare.

Should be a 1/8 chance. They're all "rare" except for Jace Beleren.

[JackaBo]

I thought this would be cool but it looks like crap. Good thing it's reprints and not new cards that i have to play looking like this.

[Phoenix Ignition]

I like the frame but as said above the art isn't very good. Threads of Disloyalty in particular invokes one of those reactions where I feel personal embarrassment just by looking at it.

I guess art is supposed to invoke feelings but this feels more like the "we're laughing at you, not with you," moments.

The art is so-so. Out of the new art, BEB, Brainstorm and Tutor look alright.

Threads of Disloyality is just plain bad.
Gifts Ungiven looks like the Jace version of Three Wise Men, except they forgot the third member. Also, why are there two Jaces? Illusions shouldn't be able to carry your shit.
Negate is the worst offender, though. Not only is it questionable what it depicts, I also have no idea what is going on in the art. I initially wondered why Jace suddenly had a giant scar over his right eye until noticing that there were supposed to 4 Jace faces.

[Ace/Homebrew]

Wow... :eek:
The Harry Potter scars are actually his lips. I totally missed that. Nothing screams 'great art' like having to explain what's going on in it.

Edit: Not that I'm dissing Jason Rainville. The concept is gross, the execution seems fine.

Agree 100%, both good and bad. I'd add the expansion symbol looks like shit.

I think they previously announced MSRP is $20, which is pretty reasonable for what you get in it

[H]

They should have just went with the actual Planar Chaos frames AKA the best frames they have ever actually managed to make.

Honestly looked like Jace had Kakashi's sharingan or some garbage

[bruizar]

I don't get why gifts looks like clone

[HdH_Cthulhu]

Yeh its kinda funny, they had to up the jace ratio to 11 jace : 8 Cards

[menloe]

fuck jace
