Jace is divisive! Is he arrogant and uninteresting, or is he a jarringly friendly horse boy? The answer is both. We sat down with Alison Lührs, author of the Ixalan stories and the Outlaws of Thunder Junction epilogues to talk about Jace the character, and what makes him tick.
Kathleen hosts Michelle Rapp and Number 1 Jace expert Radley as an expert Vorthos panel.

Wait, you're telling me the lady that shouts at us for playing do-nothing enchantments and pure life gain cards on the Strange Brew friday night Magic video is actually a prolific and beloved writer of MTG lore? Next you'll tell me Jace is a nuanced, human and integral part of not only the game's story, but also its identity!

My favorite part of Jace’s image of Gideon on useless island is that we as the audience know that’s absolutely not what Gideon thinks of Jace. Gideon for better or worse wears basically all of his opinions on his sleeve. But Jace is so used to projecting a different image of himself out to the world that his subconscious refuses to take people at face value. *We* know that Gideon’s reaction to Jace struggling physically is to help and teach him not push him out of the way, but Jace has 4D-chessed himself into believing Gideon actually hates him.

@charcharmunr Ай бұрын
Hell, on some level Jace himself probably knows that. But it's sort of the difference of "logically knowing that's not at all what Gideon is like" and "emotionally still feeling terribly insecure because he both admires Gideon but believes himself useless in comparison to him".

1:02:23 "The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain." - Ursula Le Guin This bit of the podcast reminded me of this quote and is absolutely part of why I (and I assume many others) find Jace so compelling. His character goes against this BECAUSE for him to be evil would absolutely be banal and boring, and at times he absolutely was that, and this is why Good Jace is just inherently so much more interesting.
@charcharmunr
@charcharmunr Ай бұрын
This is why I like the current push of how he could be antagonistic here. He's definitely sympathetic, and has the absolute best of intentions, but he's stopped looking at things beyond the big picture. I've seen so many people want evil Jace for so long and I've always pushed back on it because Jace's character arc in his very first appearance culminates in "I could so easily be a horrible villain, and I don't even really feel that bad about what atrocities I've come close to taking part in, and that TERRIFIES me". Jace HATES what he'd become if he went full villainous, because he could SO easily do it. That's why antagonistic but sympathetic Jace CAN work. Evil Jace can't except as a sort of evil self version (like compleated Jace or a doppelganger or whatever), because Jace is so inherently against himself ever being that person.

Jace has the opportunity to become as powerful as Urza. He holds that power in his hands with the Sylex, but turns away from it. He's the optimism to Urza's pessimism. That struggle, against the urge for total power that would come so easily to him, is endlessly interesting. Ms. Lührs also nailed the millennial condition in half an epilogue story, describing the moral quandries of bringing a child into this world and viewing the systems of power as inherently broken. Kudos to you, Ms. Lührs, on two excellently written stories

This prompted me to go back and look at the article I wrote about Jace, as a character, and the way he was perceived. It included this passage: > What Jace wants, I think, more than anything else, is to be an okay person. Not a high bar to reach, you’d think, but then he has to face up to the fact that the tool he has is something that makes it very easy to be a bad person. He’s a telepath, his powers let him deal with memories - they even let him manipulate his own memories. And worst, that last little clause means he’s always going to be doubting whether or not he is a good person. This was August, 2017 - a month before the release of Ixalan. These pieces have been *there* for a long time.
@charcharmunr
@charcharmunr Ай бұрын
I mean that's his ultimate resolution in Agents of Artifice. "I may not be a good person, but I don't want to be what working for the Consortium is turning me into", so he goes scorched earth on the organisation, dismantles its leadership and then just walks away despite Liliana pushing him to take over. It's why in RtR he decides to actually just suck up and take the Guildpact job and at least TRY. It's the main reason he gets involved in Battle for Zendikar, with some push from Gideon, because the Eldrazi are at least something he was responsible for on some level, and Gideon's influence pushes him from more "wants to not be bad" to "actively trying to be good".

As a Jace superfan, this was so great!! It’s always such a wonderful experience seeing Magic creators appreciate this part of the story as much as I do. (Or, in Radley’s case, much more than I do lol) I think my favorite part of this episode was something that I love about Jace in general- He brings out so much complexity and nuance in other characters. The bit about Vraska being horrified by Liliana’s behavior, not just because it was cruel and abusive, but because it’s *something she understands as a black-aligned character?* Magnificent stuff, very insightful. Also, you’ve GOTTA read agents of artifice: It’s an incredible work, fundamental to the foundations of modern magic story, and also features Jace’s badass Heterosexual Life Partner, Kallist Rhoka. Plus you could have Radley on again! As you implied in the intro, he’s the foremost scholar on the subject lol

For what it's worth, the author of Agents of Artifice has said that, if he were to go back and change one thing it'd be to have Jace and Kallist have an off-screen romance that didn't work out because there's a LOT of energy between them.

I loved this episode, it's a joy to hear author share insight into writing the character, and super glad to hear Radley join in on a conversation! A lot of it spoke to me as Blue leaning person, and my attempts to navigate close relationships and masculinity. The comment that got me to write this comment was a note on Jace's point about activating Sylex as the only way. I still sincerely believe that the way the moral dilemma was presented to us throughout All Will Be One, he was still right. Of course emotionally and narratively it's incongruent for The Allegory Of A Nuke to solve everything, instead of Heroic Alligiance of Full Diversity of Magic's Multiverse but ONE didn't convince me for a moment that Kaya, Kaito, and Elspeth were morally in the right. Sure, they had to be, there is a lot of Magic to happen after, but it wasn't justified adequately within the internal logic. ...I am yelling about characters treating their seemingly completely baseless in a moment assumptions as unshakeable facts, which undoubtedly were meant to be unshakeable facts for the narrative to carry through... Time to stop and take a breath.

I watched a video discussing various topics of Nihilism, and in it was mentioned the concept of Absurd Hero. A person who carries on trying to be the best version of themselves to others, even as they consider it all fleeting, meaningless, and empty. The video essayist highlighted how this attitude is deeply hollow and isolating, as you are effectively holding yourself at arms length from true belonging. I fear I see this resonate in Jace's and Vraska's relationship after the Phyrexian invasion.

@@elsesome2707 It's an interesting thing and god I hope whatever their character trajectory is is handled well. Whether it's Liliana truly opening herself up to Jace and empathising with him, whether it's Chandra simply providing the presence of a friend, whether it's the Golgari welcoming Vraska back, or Ral pleading with the both of them, or if it's Gideon's ghost or some shit, I hope the resolution isn't just "they're wrong and they die/get imprisoned". I want these two to be talked down, but I know that Magic is a game about conflict, so there's gonna be SOMETHING that happens prior to that.

In regard to the coffee on ravnica thoughts at the end, I think it’s reasonable to conclude that not all of ravnica is cold and rainy, the city covers literally the entire world, so some parts of it have to be equatorial, just not the tenth district where all the interesting things happen, and coffee existed naturally at one time, then ravnica a wanted more of it, so the simic altered it so it could grow in more climates (underground) and it has since become a staple of ravnican diets

The reasons I love Jace, is he is, as far as worldview wise, Magic's version of Superman, even down to the "I see the world as a Paper Bag" ideology. He believes and loves people, genuinely, even when their worse natures are shown, and knows that if he pushes just a bit too hard, things will break.
@charcharmunr
@charcharmunr Ай бұрын
I think the key difference is Superman had an incredibly moral-focused upbringing. Jace's upbringing was at first "caring" but it was definitely still a little more detached, and then his tutelage under Alhammarret was entirely pushing him to be this sort of weapon. Jace's strongest moral guideline was Gideon, and Gideon never really TRIED to make Jace a better person, he just did by being who he was. That sort of upright morality combined with Jace's self-awareness of his own power IS much more Superman, which is an interesting thing to note, that Superman decomposited is effectively two people who feel wrong without the other (not in the Clark and Superman way, but in the 'morality' and 'awareness' way).

I love episodes like this. Synopses (synopsises?) And essays discussing media have actually become my preferred way to consume media; the discussion interests me more than the thing itself. So as someone who's read precisely NONE MtG stories, I find it fascinating to see that the common thread of Jace's relationships is manipulation, with the irony being that the brilliant mind mage is the one consistently being manipulated by others (Alhammaret, Tezzeret, Liliana, Bolas). Until Vraska. She's the first to not see him as something useful, a powerful tool, but as someone who matters even without his abilities.

Though me and a few other people did our best to nudge people around, and then Ixalan came along and *really* helped us out. Needless to say I'm pleased at Jace being more liked (or at least less hated) nowadays, and I'm incredibly happy with the Vraska/Jace romance, and I thank Alison for both of those things.

I was ELATED when I found out Allison was on this. Radley was fine IMO, he’s ok I guess

So from a story perspective jace Honestly seems fine I think I just find allot of his cards mechanically not that interesting which is admitadly a personal thing. Also doesn't help that my first time learning about jace and planes walkers in general was playing an old casual kitchen table deck against a deck on jace the mind sculptor circa 2010ish after having not played mostly since around kamigawa
