New Nissa and Chandra...but what about Jace?
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

Spoilers are out! All the Expeditions are spoiled, along with a few goodies like the new Kalitas and Kozilek's Return. But nothing gets me more excited than the reveal of new planeswalkers!
Nissa's definitely going to see play in Standard just for her Three-Mana cost in relation to her -2 and +1 abilities, while Chandra's +1 works pretty well with Omnath, Locus of Rage's second ability.
That leaves us with very little space left for more mythics, let alone a third planeswalker. But what about Jace? He's playing a crucial role in sealing the Eldrazi in the Uncharted Realms, so it would make sense to print another form of our favorite blue walker.Maybe he'll be printed in Shadows Over Innistrad, because the first art released does picture Jace on it.
Overall, the mythics so far aren't game breaking but are pretty darn cool; what does everyone else think?
"favorite blue walker" - Thanks, I needed a little laugh! :)

Jace isn't showing up because small sets only get 2 planeswalkers. Expect a new Jace in SOI.

Tamiyo is obviously the favourite blue Walker. Dub.

But if the tokens are blocked Mindgrind it's essentially the same as them hitting since they'll die automatically. Also please dear god not another Jace. Tamiyo needs some love lmao

Only 1 Mythic remaining to be spoiled. - There hasn't been a 
Mythic spoiled yet.
My guess... There will not be a Jace in this set. (Though he does represent Azorius on Ravnica)
My conclusion. - No Jace in this set.
Another guess... Mythic will be some horrible life gain spell and have no relevance in any format, including Limited.

So..Rayenous, a reprint of Archangel's Light then?
I agree, no Jace.
I can see a home for Nissa in a GB Aristocrats build alongside Zulaport Cutthroat

@brcap - LOL!
That's the exact card that came to mind as I was typing that.

Does anyone else feel like that Chandra is crap? 6 mana for a couple of Spark Elementals? F that noise. Her minus ability is ok, but it's turn 6 at least by the time you get there, in Rx. I don't like it.

I like her but definitely wish she was cheaper.

I find the new 'walkers a bit dull...The fact that jace is as yet unleaked suggests there is something special about it... Or it's really cool and the leaker didn't want to give everything away...We can only hope that it lives up to expectations...

PS: My favourite blue walker is probably Tamiyo, the Moon Sage, although I love jace

Chandra exiles the tokens, not sacing. Sorry to ruin your strategy. :(
