    I totally disagree on Jace. He's just bad.
    -Fair: There's nothing to talk about here. He's a creature who does nothing for a turn, doesn't impact the board, and can't win the game in realistic situations. EDIT and his directly comparable cards (Bob/Snapcaster) are just better; for a variety of reasons (instant speed cards being a big one.)
    -Combo: He's opening you up to cards you were good against while slowing your deck down with things that don't win the game.

    And of course I'm speaking in generalities. Reanimator seems OK; since you're already open to plow and Bolt; but opening yourself to Decay, Disfigure, Forked Bolt, etc.. isn't helping I think.

    I think you VAAAAASTLY overstate his +1; which Mom, SoFaI, Revoker, Flickerwisp, Angler, Goyf, Lavamancer, and a vast number of other creatures (even if you control only one) answer. He can't deal with Delver; his ability still fails against an active Deathrite. I just don't see it.

    We'll see at the GP; but I'd put money in that he's unlikely to see much in the top 8; less than 4 copies for sure IMO; especially mainboard.


    EDIT: His +1 can't handle Manlands either.

    The good: overall nice pace, no drag at all.

    The things to improve on: the audio, feels like you're good distance away from mic.
