After years collecting dust; Jace, the Mind Sculptor is about to return to the Modern format. This is pretty jaw-dropping news and is gaurenteed to completely shake up the current metagame and strategies for upcoming Modern format tournaments. In addition, the announcement will likely also shake up the game’s economy, since the card suddenly will be in much higher demand considering the growing popularity of the Modern format.
As if that wasn’t enough excitement in the world of planeswalkers, Wizards also revealed that one of the game’s most powerful midrange creatures is also getting unbanned in Modern: Bloodbraid Elf. This creature may not be quite as iconic as The Mind Sculptor, but it’s still incredibly powerful and opens up some very interesting deck options in the format.
It will be very interesting to see the two cards face off against each other as players try to find the best decklists to take advantage of the new tools that have been added to their modern arsenal.
Is anybody else heading home to check their tradebinders and make sure they still have a playset of each?
