Nice hair, Jace. Glad you remembered to comb today. You seem to have trouble with that.
(Or maybe he just gets hood-hair?)

I'm sorry but this art looks just too soft, looks like something painted by Bob Ross "And let's just put a happy Jace right here... there".

I love the palette of these. After all the gloomy art of previous sets, both this look and Theros's bright look is a welcome relief.

Really looking forward to this pair of decks, in my favorite colors no less. A TON of great reprints they've got lined up for us.

I think that of the two decks, Vraska is going to have more sheer power, especially considering that her -3 can kill Jace directly. Jace players are going to have to get pretty clever, but that's why they're blue mages to begin with, right?
On a side note, Jace's +1 should go a long way to keeping Vraska's Assassin tokens away from your neck, so that's a plus.
Edit: I just realized that if you manage to get Jace's -8 to go off, you can actually cast Vraska the Unseen from her own deck. Kind of cool how each Planeswalker's ultimate ability is like an alternate ending to the duel.
Default Ending: One Planeswalker beats the other, while the loser escapes with their life. Alternate Ending 1: Jace uses his mind magic to convert Vraska to his cause, securing peace in Ravnica. Alternate Ending 2: Vraska's assassins kill Jace, upsetting the balance in Ravnica forever.

Just a program note for tonight's performance - the role of "Jace Beleren" will be performed by Mads Mikkelsen, instead of Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

I don't understand all of the artwork hate! There's not that much in the way of male eye-candy in this game, and it looks great. The argument seems to be "He doesn't look like he's on his way to battle" but come on: So many of the female cards look like they're on their way to work at their local *ahem* "dance club". What's the problem with a few good-looking guys? ;)
It's nice to see the art reflecting a much more authoritative looking Jace considering the end of the Return to Ravnica storyline instead of his usual moody teenager-esque appearance. This Jace looks like he's about to lay down the law and debate the ever loving s#!t out of some Azorius officials.

They say no man is an island. Severus Snape, pictured here by being poorly cropped into an ill-fitting space suit, is no different. Therefore it is best to accompany him with some other cards - he's especially fond of islands.

The art isn't for me, but by no means is it bad.
Although yes. Looks like that casino royale guy

RTR Jace is where he's really worried, and had great art.
Jace Vs Vraska is after DGM, where he's now in charge. Art's sorta meh (he almost looks like a girl), but still a great card.

Come on, Jace, just punch Vraska... I see your clenched fist... Look her in the face and punch her...

I'm not sure why people are complaining about the art. The other artwork is just totally wrong for Jace's character--why does he have that totally sculpted face and light brown hair? This is a much better representation of a prodigal determined to turn a new leaf. I'd much rather look at this than a colorshifted white knight.

Looks like those Azorius census-takers better hold onto their livers.
Okay, I know that was obscure. I'm saying that Hannibal Lecter caught the spark.
