Planeswalker Hunt Day 4 — Complete!

By ManaNation.com ⋅ December 17, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment ⋅

And so we enter the home stretch of the chase with ‘Jace, the Mind Sculptor.’ We believe we’ve got all four mechanics figured out, but today’s pieces will confirm that and provide us with the costs of those abilities. Given that Jace is a four ability planeswalker we’re likely in for some surprises and we can’t be sure of the other standards derived from the Planeswalkers.

43.659293, –79.382175 — 401 Games — Toronto, ON, Canada
33.976243, –117.464489 — GMI Games and Collectibles — Riverside, CA, USA

Jace so far:

Update 12:11am: Added 401games.ca as the location in Toronto per a user from MTGSalvation.

Update 12:12am: Added GMI Games as California store.

Update 11:05am: Piece has been picked up from Toronto store. Waiting for it to be posted.

Update 7:06pm: Just received word that GMI Games has finally been able to release the Jace puzzle piece, so we may finally get the whole image though I don’t know how close we’ll be to the Midnight hour when Wizards will release their version of the whole card.

Update 7:13pm: Moments after the last update we have the final piece in our hands and have updated the composite!

So, is there a rule or something that these guys can’t give the piece out till the next day, or are they just opting not to be open at midnight?

A little of column A a little of column B I’d imagine.

They have to wait until the day of, and for someone to physically come into the store and request the piece.

If my ex was into Magic at all I’d get her to go down and request it.

… is this four effects i see? 0_o does this mean a possible
+ + — x effect?

alfred | December 17, 2009, 11:03 am | #
No, we know it is only 1 + ability, the second box is barely visible and it doesn’t have the upward arc needed to have a plus ability.

ManaNation | December 17, 2009, 11:05 am | #
Darn, that ultimate ability is insane.… one of the best ultimates possessed by any known planeswalker, definatly i think!

0 for brainstorm???? thats wrong on so many levels, I can see this as a 1–2 of in a jacerator deck though

Caveman | December 17, 2009, 12:05 pm | #
just a little over 2 hours till the last piece’s store location opens!

Tiamat | December 17, 2009, 12:42 pm | #
I’m wondering if it’s 0 ablility isn’t exactly Brainstorm. What if it says “then put three cards…”

that would be more of zero.

On a sidenote I don’t think 0 change fits flavor wise. The idea is a walker is loyal to you. they get more loyal when you ask them to do something they like and less loyal when it causes them to work.

We are definite on the 2nd ability courtesy of the japanese slice yesterday, the translation confirmed it would be draw three and put back 2.

LOL

It currently looks like Jace may be the artist.…

Mtgxman | December 17, 2009, 3:57 pm | #
@Mtgxman Except the artists name is “Jas-”

Tiamat | December 17, 2009, 4:22 pm | #
Artist is Jason Chan. :)

ManaNation | December 17, 2009, 4:25 pm | #
yeah i just looked that up too.… its the only Jas artist nanme that fits without going into another piece… there are only 2 confirmed Jas artists in wizards’ data base…

Tiamat | December 17, 2009, 4:27 pm | #
Jason also did the counterspell with Jace on it.

ManaNation | December 17, 2009, 4:31 pm | #
wouldn’t it be something if that card store got the card piece and threw it away because they thought it was part of some bogus prank or something?

Tiamat | December 17, 2009, 5:46 pm | #
WHERE IS THAT LAST PIECE!!!

Magiclad | December 17, 2009, 5:53 pm | #
what the heck took them so long anyway?

Jake | December 17, 2009, 7:31 pm | #
The piece was not claimed until 3:30 PM Pacific Time, and we could not provide any information ’til claimed (per WotC).
Thanks,
GMI Games

WOW.…

scrye/mind seal for +2 is kinda good
brainstorm on a stick and fetchlands in the same block … WTF are they thinking. dont get me wrong. I love good card advantage, but holy crap

the ultimate is nuts, makes Nico Bolas’ look like crap

maybe they can reprint stifle, just for giggles …

kinda cool especially in a turbo fog deck, if you can protect it
