    Official Ruling
    You draw three cards and put two cards back all while Jace's second ability is resolving. Nothing can happen between the two, and no player may choose to take actions.

    Official Ruling
    If the target player for Jace's last ability has no cards in hand, that player shuffles nothing into their library, and that player's library will remain empty. That player won't lose the game until they try to draw from the empty library.

    Jace, the Mind Sculptor was banned in modern on February 3, 2015. Modern kicked off with a banned list that was created in large part based on Legacy play, the old Extended format, and decks played at the Community Cup that year. We are going to allow turn-four combination decks, but not decks that consistently win the game on turn three.

    Jace, the Mind Sculptor was banned in extended on September 20, 2011. To avoid repeating this, the DCI is banning the cards that have been most played in the most successful Standard and Extended decks over the past three years. For reasons similar to why these cards were banned in other formats, the DCI is banning them in Extended.

    Jace, the Mind Sculptor was banned in standard on June 20, 2011. Jace, the Mind Sculptor is appearing in winning deck lists an alarming percentage of the time, contributing to a "stagnant and unhealthy" Standard metagame. The card is "flat-out too powerful," and the ban aims to address declining attendance and restore format diversity.
