Jace in your Wallet

~

Hey all,

Today's post is all about one of the more epic cards to hit the tables in the last year or two. This card also happens to be the first Planeswalker to have not three but four abilities. Since Worldwake came out, players everywhere are cracking packs to either find this awesome piece of magic card or looking on with envious eyes to that player who just did. If you know that we're yattering about Jace, the Mind Sculptor, you are correct and should treat yourself to a latte.

We were very fortunate to crack a Jace during our Release party and since then had become rather interested in the player community's response to this card. To start off, here is a brief quote from Evan Erwin, StarCity Games Community Manager and well known host of the popular 'The Magic Show' on the tube. This is what he had to say in his recent article titled 'Five Lessons From Worldwake' . . .

"You think $60 is the highest it's going to reach? Pssshhh. My guess is $80 after the Pro Tour, and will hit $100+ after it rotates. I'm happy this article is here, because it will let me look back in a few months to confirm my thoughts or prove me incredibly wrong. I've got a hankering, however, that I'll be proven right and then some."


And those prices . . . here is a quick round up of what to expect to pay for a single non-foil : Note - a price listed here has may likely change within a few hours of this post going up.

Soooo - We suggest that you follow StarCity Games to get a true feeling for the price and how Jace will move up (or down - not likely) in the next coming months. As for eBay - prices for 'buy now' range from $45 to $55 dollars US.


If you are looking to sell your much coveted Jace, we suggest that you trade it with another player to get a load of cards you need to complete decksets, etc., or wait until after we have seen this on the Pro-Tour circuits for a bit at which time we will prognosticate that there will be a price correction - going up in value that is.

Now for some juice . . .
