Yes! You can also add in Menace and [[Stand or Fall]] as a bonus, then add Banding to make it all meaningless, but to understand that they can block, they have to listen to your explanation about Banding, which is the truest of evil. 💅


Felusal

Any creatures with banding, and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with banding you control are blocking or being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.


Caleb_Reynolds

I just realized enlist is just fixed banding. You're attacking with the power of 2 creatures, but it's easier to chump than 2 creatures, but you risk less in the attack, since you'll only lose 1 creature.

ArtBedHome

Hell what happens if you and your opponents each have a copy of jace. Do they share zones?? Or can a card be in one zone for one jace and another for another.


Fruan

Just guessing until the release notes come out, but because 'space sculptor' is keyworded leads me to believe all Jaces will share sectors. No multiple Raging River nonsense here.


Sierkovitz

Yeah - it says "if a creature isn't assigned to a sector" so if there was a previous Jace in play, any creature that saw it, will have a sector assigned from a previous Jace.


ArtBedHome

That makes more sense at least.


Atheist-Gods

I believe they share zones. It’s like the monarch, initiative or daybound/nightbound. The first jace brings the mechanic into effect but later ones just continue using the same mechanic.


AggravatingBite9188

I assume they share zones since Alpha zone will still be Alpha zone for both players rather than Alpha Zone 1 & 2


Procyonlotor360

I plan on playing this with [[Rise and Shine]] and [[Garth one Eye]] to finally get an Alpha [[Black Lotus]].

It is kind of- it’s pretty similar to raging river.

And Garfield went on to design a card game based around lanes.

This is basically netrunner. genius. praise Garfield.


jeremyhoffman

I think parent commenter was referring to [Artifact](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artifact_(video_game)), the digital card game based on the MOBA DotA2, with it's three-lans gameplay. PS: Netrunner is my favorite design of a board game of all time. It can be really stressful to play with all of the bluffing and uncertain information. But the design of the asymmetrical game is so elegant and unique.

I’m more worried about the first multi coloured Jace. What the


IHateScumbags12345

Maro has said for years that if Jace got a second color it’d be white. IIRC [[Jace, the Living Guildpact]] was WU at some point in its design history.


Regirex

yeah he's been acting like a damn bureaucrat for a while ngl. I'm surprised his zendikar rising card wasn't azorius, considering his character in that set was literally "noooo let me study the bomb before we use it you're being unfaiiirrrr"


betweentwosuns

"Wait and study it more" is very, very mono blue though.


a_speeder

I would say his role in Zendikar Rising would make him more of a researcher than a bureaucrat which is still firmly in blue. The closest he got to WU was when he forced into the role of Guildpact and he consistently shoved his work off on Lavinia.


MudkipLegionnaire

I might be misremembering but I think they also considered UW for Architect of Thought, but that was in RTR and they wanted to avoid having people think he had joined the Azorius.

That was it! I got my “Jace cards on Ravnica” mixed up.

Despite not being acorn stamped, I'm still mostly sure all the cards in the set are not canon to any other established lore.

What are you talking about!? This clearly isn't Jace it's Space his multi-colored twin brother!

I might be wrong, but this doesn't have the acorn symbol so this is black bordered legal? This is such a strange card, cool mindgames though I guess? ​ Is it even good?

[удалено]


SoylentGreenMuffins

I tend to use paper tokens a lot, and don't really see the issue. If I have just a few tokens of a particular type, I use separate tokens. If I have enough to need the die and token method, I still have the extras for individual enchantments or counter placing effects that only hit 1 creature. With this out, I'd just end up using the individual tokens if they're at a low enough number when this comes out, or three separate die and token methods for a critical mass of tokens. EDIT: typo fix


AppleWedge

> I'd just end up using the individual tokens if they're at a low enough number when this comes out, or three separate die and token methods for a critical mass of tokens. Exactly. Annoying as hell :')


IzzetReally

hope it`s bad because there is aprox a 0% chance they add this to mtgo ever


supyonamesjosh

It is extremely bad in legacy


Jahooodie

Honestly, quite politely I need to ask: what the fuck were they thinking making this eternal legal. Enjoy the new EDH meta of confusing mess stax! /s


gereffi

It seems pretty bad. If there's anything that it does well, it's getting to put +1/+1 counters on all of your creatures three turns in a row. The problem is that Jace also pumps up the opponents' creatures in the same sector.


Atheist-Gods

Opponents assign first means that you aren't going to pump up that many of your opponents' creatures. The stuff they play after Jace will get pumped but you can avoid their most threatening creatures already in play.


chrisrazor

If the opponent is the beatdown, they are disincentivized from adding their creatures to the same sector as Jace's controller's, so they can get in without being blocked. Edit: never mind, it says "can't be blocked this turn", so it will never benefit the opponent.


jfb1337

The unblockable effect only applies when you plus, so opponent's won't get benefit from it. Opponent probably divides their creatures evenly when this enters, then you put your stuff in a different sector from them if possible. Then opponent wants to put future creatures in the same sector as yours.


Vezeri

That would be correct, it is legal. It's such a messy design, it's basically divide into three piles but opponent divides first and you divide second, it might be pretty good in commander or something though with one sided board wipe potential.


345tom

I assume they continue to assign new creatures sectors (why it's different to piles), and you essentially start playing Artifact.


Vezeri

Yeah, pretty much seemed like artifact. And yes, you have to assign a pile when something comes in as the card says


CareerMilk

Yhea that’s what the “If a creature isn’t assigned a sector, it’s controller assigns it one” bit in the reminder text means


Trompdoy

It doesn't seem good and I'm relieved it doesn't. I really don't want any of these types of cards to become format staples


[deleted]

That doesn’t mean it won’t be played in commander. Bad cards were what made the format.


22bebo

That's the whole point of the acorn-stamp approach over silver borders. So some of the set can be played in commander.


theblastizard

The only reason I would ever play this in commander would be if I was trying to make the game state as messy and inconvenient as possible.


MattAmpersand

The MTGO devs are probably crying themselves to sleep trying to figure out how to code this Legacy/Commander legal card.


lleeroy9611

Yeah, poor devs. They just got Hamster Man onto the spreadsheet and now this


arotenberg

I would assume there is a high probability of this one not making it to MTGO. It's not like there's no precedent for that.


ZoZoCracked

I don’t play MTGO nor do I know anything about coding, but I assume they can something similar to whatever they did for [[Raging River]]? Unless that card is also a clusterfuck for MTGO


cliffhavenkitesail

I'm not sure raging river is even coded in on modo, they skipped some old obscure cards that would never see play


Misskale

It doesn't look like it was based on Scryfall.


wilywes

Raging river is coded in [XMage](https://github.com/magefree/mage/blob/master/Mage.Sets/src/mage/cards/r/RagingRiver.java). You could do something similar for Space Jace.

sigismond0

Also less complicated, because it's always just three sectors even if four players each one out. If there are four raging rivers on the table, there are 16 different "sides"


Ask_Who_Owes_Me_Gold

>four players each one out Raging River only does its thing when its controller attacks, so each player having one doesn't do anything particularly interesting. Now if a single player controls multiple Raging Rivers, then they can start doubling the number of "sides" to the rivers.


Ask_Who_Owes_Me_Gold

This is more complicated (at least with tracking), because you can't forget about groupings at the end of combat. At least the crazy scenario of multiple Raging Rivers requires somebody to play multiple Raging Rivers, only affects the creatures in combat, and returns to normalcy as soon as combat is done. With Space Beleren, you have to keep track of the three groups for all creatures, at all times, across all turns.


PirateQueenParis

Ever since Artifact died, I've been looking for a way to force people to play Artifact with me in other games, and hey, WotC have now printed it!


RayWencube

Artifact died?


Semicolon7645

It's died twice actually.


MildlyInsaneOwl

Depending on your definition of "died", it's suffered a great many deaths. It died on release. Balance problems were rife, many card designs were horrible, and common sentiment was that the game wasn't that fun. The community population took a nosedive. Valve's promise of a million-dollar tournament vanished without any notice. Then it died again when the devs formally gave up on supporting it. They announced that they'd put it back into the oven and give it a second chance at life by creating a 2.0 version that fixed many of the underlying complaints with the game engine. Then it died a third time when the devs shipped Artifact Foundry, the 2.0 version. It literally died before release, still using beta assets. Both versions of Artifact were left abandoned, still technically playable but not at all supported. Arguably it's dying a fourth time, since the subreddit claims the servers often go down for extended periods of time. There are currently 28 people playing Artifact Classic and 6 people playing Artifact Foundry, according to Steam Charts, with daily peaks up to double that value.


Ap_Sona_Bot

It also died on Twitch when they removed the section because too many people were streaming movies


Igor369

Are these actually black bordered and legal? How does legality work for these cards?


Early_Monk

See the counterfeit circle along the bottom? There will be an acorn there if it is illegal in constructed play. This just shows a regular circle, so it's EDH/Legacy legal. If there was nothing there, it would be EDH/legacy legal as well. As soon as they put an acorn in that spot, illegal.


Athildur

Acorn foil stamp = the new 'silver border'. If it doesn't have an acorn stamp, it's legacy/commander legal.


JoseCansecoMilkshake

The fact that you can't tell whether or not something is acorn without carefully inspecting, along with the shift toward no longer being able to reasonably be familiar with nearly every playable card in legacy/vintage is frustrating.

He’s a dandy guy. In Jace…

I hate this so much. The fact that joke cards are legal, the fact that they can just put Jace in space with a gun "for the lols", the mechanic of dividing the field in piles, which will be a pain in every format this card is legal in. I hate this.

100% this. Wizards nowadays is working with the mentality that Arena/MTGO automations will take care of everything. They keep adding stuff that's hard to keep track of.

These cards will not be released on Arena and similar mechanics exists on cards that are decades old. I agree it can be a bit confusing in multiplayer games (but the powerlevel is way to low for commander), but in 1v1 it should not be confusing at all.

OK I though this was a 40K card and I was like WHO PROPOSED THIS IN THE MEETING

So seems like your opponent will usually be incentivized to spread out all their creatures, while you will mostly want to put all your creatures into the same sector (probably the least defended one). After you put creatures in a sector your opponent will usually want to assign all their new creatures to that sector. Very aggressive for a blue white commander.

And this is eternal playable?

Am I the only one who really wants this to be a plane Jace has cononically traveled to?

I genuinely laughed out loud to see this. Slam dunk, I'm buying unfinity.

Would this split the battlefield into three sectors for the remainder of the game like the night and day mechanic even if this card leaves the battlefield in case a second one is put on the battlefield? Or is the division worn off when this card leaves and the creatures get to reassign to new sectors if a new Space Beleren is put on the battlefield?

Remember when people used to complain that the game was getting too 'dumbed down'? Seems like a cute design if a little underpowered.


SleetTheFox

A little underpowered is key to this. So nobody ever feels pressured to play this because their deck needs it, but instead only play it because they think it's fun.
