Jace, The Asshole
Imagine if one card can push a products value up to 150$ or more over than what it should be, and over time keep doing that. Wizards of the Coast has had a problem with short print sets reaching a monstrous secondary value or its initial. Like Modern Masters boxes going for 300 dollars a piece. And why is this Mind Sculptor so sought after? Name, the old sub joke "its named Jace must be expensive" is no longer a joke. It's a problem. This Jace is used in Legacy at 2 or 3 in cawblade with rare exceptions and in Edh as a plainswalker that cost you 120+$ to buy but will only stay for about long as it takes to say 0 Effect. So it must be his collectors value and how people perceive him to be the best thing ever even if ill never get to play him. You know what other highly banned card shows great power Balance, so why mind sculptor must you make From the Vault 20 hard to get, because hes Jace. Therefor hes a dick.
Jeleva
Lets talk EDH with the next "Commander" wave coming it seems the theme is for more commander rules themed cards. Each time your commander is returned to the command zone it cost 2 more to cast then 4 more then so on. This is where the new X ability comes in handy. The Color combo for Jeleva seems just sweet. Grixis and Unfair spells are best friends of the meanest sorts. Also the best part about her, is that she hits all player, which EDH isn't usually 1v1 so this is brutal. And all you have to do to cast one of AT LEAST 8 probable Instants or sorceries is attack. And at that shes in the air. Lets do an example say Turn four she comes out and 5 players Exile 4 cards. That's 20 cards. Not only is this a chance to rid them of their combo pieces but it can also cast something not at all meant for early game play or anywhere near your colors want an example? How about turn four she comes out and hits the cards a Pox, a Wrath of God, a Worldly Tutor and a Demonic Tutor. Can you even think of the possibility of just ruining everyones day. And if she dies, good. Good now you can cast her for six make everyone Hit Six cards and just protect her until she can swing and do her job. And if she does her job multiple times I could see a winner at your table playing a new Grixis card and having tons of fun with it. Good job on the design Wizards.
