Jace's Projection enters as a copy of any Jace planeswalker you control, then grows its loyalty whenever you draw cards — a continuous engine in decks that already want to flood through their library. Arjun, the Shifting Flame turns every spell cast into a full hand replacement, which means Jace's Projection can stack loyalty absurdly fast; O'aka, Traveling Merchant rewards the same card-draw density and slots naturally alongside it.

Arjun, the Shifting Flame
Arjun, the Shifting Flame replaces your hand every time you cast a spell, which fires Jace's Projection's loyalty trigger on virtually every action you take — the two cards form a self-reinforcing loop that can push a Jace to its ultimate within a single turn cycle.

Jace's Projection is a Commander card through and through — the planeswalker density required to copy on entry simply doesn't exist in competitive 60-card formats, and the loyalty-from-draw payoff is too slow for Modern or Legacy to care about. In Pioneer and Vintage it's legal but irrelevant; neither format runs enough Jace planeswalkers at once to make the copy clause reliable, and better card-advantage pieces crowd it out entirely. Commander is the only home where Jace's Projection earns its slot: multiplayer games run longer, Jace tribal and superfriends builds stack multiple planeswalkers naturally, and the draw-based loyalty scaling becomes a genuine threat over several turns.

Current price
$0.29 bulk tier
At $0.29, Jace's Projection sits firmly in bulk territory — easy to pick up as a throw-in or from a bulk bin without a second thought. Its price reflects narrow play: it does nothing without another Jace on board, so demand stays low and there's no compelling reason for it to climb.
