I think the one standing up on the right is in a black sleeve (based on the bottom right corner where it you can see a color difference + what appears to be an Ultrapro holo at the bottom)

Yeah, I agree. The Jaces look weird, too. Jace #1's borders and corners look bad. Jace #3 appears to be curling unnaturally, like it's thin card stock.

All the Jaces appear to have at least one square corner, too.

Here's the auction:

Here's the pic. The one standing up on the left looks really strange. The picture looks fine at the bottom, then seems to warp toward the top. The borders at the top are all out of whack, but OK at the bottom. Could be an optical illusion?

Yea, the jaces are all wrong. Square corners, alpha corners, curling. They look like they've just been printed on paper and he's in the process of faking them too.

they printed cards better then baneslayer to force diversity. They also printed baneslayer specific answers such as plummet and combust. Jace isn't being splashed into random decks, but hes just having a lot of decks built around him. Not much difference I'd say.

When Tarmo was in Type 2, all the decks were splashing green to put him in. It is a huge difference. All the top decks were playing Tarmo, not the case with Jace. They will put new cards in M12 that people will chase too. What's to say that won't print more answers to planeswalkers in M12 also? IMO, Tarmo won't be reprinted. I'm betting Jace TMS will at some point.

It will be 3 packs Scars and 3 packs Besieged.

I know its sealed, and therefore pretty random, but does anyone have any suggestions or tips?

It has been awhile

Ummm... stand by B.R.E.A.D?

Which shouldn't be too hard, since pretty much every Scars rare is a bomb.

Here's what I said earlier:

1) Play your bombs, even if you have to splash a third color. Your sealed deck will be better for it. Pay attention to 6-drops in the format. That's the magic number. Volition Reins, Steel Hellkite, Contagion Engine, Fangren Marauder (I think he's super in sealed, I question whether he's first pick material in draft, though), etc.

2) It's a slower format, but don't go overboard and have no plays during the first three turns.

3) The value of Infect goes way down, because in draft you can depend on others shipping Infect your way and you get the benefit of the Infect cards from three or more people. In sealed, you only have your cards. Evasion, on the other hand, is really good.

4) Play with your removal, obviously, but you also want to stuff your deck with creatures. Some go so far as to suggest that playing with 18 lands is absolutely wrong in this format since it means one less creature than a deck with only 17 lands. I think that may be valid, but the bigger issue is playing with too many non-creature spells.

Ya that's what i thought too.

Most cellphone cameras take better pictures than that up close.

After combat I use Contagion Engine to proliferate the Wurmcoil putting it at 9/9. Adding 1 counter each to my 2x Tumble Magnet. On my turn I use both tumble magnets to tap his 2x blockers. Proliferate my Wurmcoil to 11/11. Attack for the win

Never actually won a game proliferating a Wurmcoil before it was pretty hilarious.

fit as many creatures in your deck as you can. Only play high quality tricks. If you have to choose a mediocre creature is far better then the same type of trick. If you think you have an infect pool, just count your infect creatures. Anything under ~10 (tho I like in the 15 range) is likely not good enough in the sealed environment. Try hard not to mix and match infect. You can get there if you do, but you have to work way harder for it. Also, keep a very close eye on your mana curve. A random 2/1 for 2 mana can be the difference between winning and losing vs those fast poison decks.

I KNOW for a fact I have like 5 Kodama's Reach. Can't find a single one...
