Play
Temporarily grants flying and +2/+2 while adding two loyalty counters to your Jace token; inefficient without further empower support.
More
- Pick-Two
- Empower adds loyalty to your Jace token or creates one if absent. It does not grant an extra loyalty activation this turn.
- Sealed vs Draft
- Count the printed empower amount. A planeswalker normally activates only one loyalty ability on each of your turns.
- Two-Headed Giant
- You control the Jace created for you. Your teammate does not gain control of it or share its loyalty activations.
