Jace, the Perfected Mind is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Compleated (can be paid with
or 2 life. If life was paid, this planeswalker enters with two fewer loyalty counters.) +1: Until your next turn, up to one target creature gets -3/-0. −2: Target player mills three cards. Then if a graveyard has twenty or more cards in it, you draw three cards. Otherwise, you draw a card. −X: Target player mills three times X cards.
How it works : Jace, the Perfected Mind
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Jace's second loyalty ability doesn't care which player's graveyard has twenty or more cards in it. It could be the target player's or another player's.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
A Phyrexian mana symbol contributes 1 toward the mana value of a card, even if life is paid for it. Specifically, Jace's mana value is always 4.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
The compleated ability looks only at whether a player chose to pay 2 life for a Phyrexian mana symbol as they were casting the spell. If a player paid life for some other reason while casting the spell, that will not reduce the number of loyalty counters the planeswalker enters the battlefield with.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Other replacement effects that would change the number of loyalty counters Jace enters with will apply as normal.
No other card is named in this ruling.
