Magic: The Gathering’s Empower Jace mechanic, central to the Reality Fracture set, creates a Jace Planeswalker token with abilities to Surveil or draw cards. Initially underestimated, the mechanic proved decisive across Sealed and Draft games because it improves almost every deck by smoothing draws, reducing the effects of mana problems and strengthening late-game topdeck battles.

Empower Jace appears on cards across all colours and roles, including creatures, removal, counterspells and expensive threats. Jace tokens can also provide additional value through legendary enchantments and cards such as Mindseeker Oculus, while spells like Way of the Pyromancer and Way of the Paradox combine ramping or other effects with card selection, card draw, life gain and a persistent token.
