How to transform Jace."},"content":{"rendered":"

\"Jace,\"Jace,Hi everyone, and welcome back! Today, we’re going to talk about another one of the new creature\/planeswalkers, Jace. Just as a reminder, we did a more general Q&A on how these cards worked yesterday, so if you’re still a little confused, look back at yesterday’s article.<\/p>\n

Jace’s transform ability is also pretty straightforward. Jace can only transform if you activate his ability. Just having five or more cards in your graveyard won’t cause him to transform; you have to activate the ability first. So, if you really fancy having Jace, the creature running around, just don’t activate his ability.<\/p>\n

The number of cards in the graveyard is checked once, while the ability is resolving (after you’ve drawn and discarded a card). If you activate the ability with a graveyard full of cards, but your opponent respond by removing those cards so the condition is not true, Jace will not transform when his ability resolves.<\/p>\n

Jace also works pretty well with the new ability word Spell Mastery<\/em>, which gives you a bonus effect for some of your instants and sorceries if you have two or more instants and\/or sorcery cards in your graveyard. Use Jace to loot some instants or sorceries into your graveyard, and get spell mastery working faster than your opponent predicted!<\/p>\n

And that’s all I have for today! Join us again tomorrow, when we talk about how Kytheon transforms into Gideon!<\/p>\n
