Also, The art on the 10th edition version is clearly wrong so I refuse to aknowledge the card's existence.

In my opinion, card text always trumped book text. The cards clearly show Jace as a hipster douche and an emo, for a lack of better terms, and caring about terms.
Small question: What is your opinion on Jace? Do you see him as a "hipster douche emo", regardless? And it's not just the books. The comics show Jace as capable of respecting Garruk.
"What is etherium but the next logical step?" It's all my fault.

Great counter argument, I never thought of it that way.
Contrary to popular opinion Jace is not a condescending, smug, smarmy know-it-all with his head three feet up his own ass; and he doesn't treat Garruk like a leper.

I don't want to sound confrontational but that is a tremendous crock.
Jace is a central point of view character in three separate Magic novels, and all of them are at odds with the redirect  flavor text.

"I stand for every cobbler, tanner, and fool in this town—and they stand for me." Champion of the Parish 
This motto really stands out in my mind, and is very flavorful,can just imagine him fighting alongside Kamahl, Pit Fighter  in a resistance movement
I love Kamahl, but his resistance was running away and hiding in a forest. I don't see where you're going with that.
Not according to the flavor text of 10th edition.
That was before he became Kamahl, Fist of Krosa  .

Everything is better when you read it in Bane's voice.
Your human antics and desire to continue living have moved me. Just kidding. You cannot move me physically or emotionally. Wall humor.
Copy effects work like a photocopy machine: you get a copy of the 'naked' card, NOT of what's on it.
Funny story:
InQuest Magazine (I think it was InQuest) had an oversized Chaos Orb which I totally rooked someone into allowing into a (non-sanctioned) game.
I had a proxy card that was a Mountain with "Chaos Orb" written on it. When I played it, my opponent cried foul:
Him: "WTF? a Proxy? no-one said anything about Proxies. Do you even own an actual Chaos Orb?"
Me: "Yes, but I thought it would be better to use a Proxy."
Him: "No way. If you're going to put a Chaos Orb in your deck you have to use your actual Chaos Orb."
Me: "*Sigh*. Okay."
I pulled out this huge Chaos Orb and placed it on the table. He tried to cry foul again but everyone else said he insisted I use my actual Chaos Orb and that was my actual Chaos Orb. I used it, flipped it and wiped most of his board.
Unsurprisingly, that only worked once and only because everyone present thought it was hilarious. 
My DM on Battleminds:
no, see i can kill defenders, but 8 consecutive crits on a battlemind, eh walk it off.
Hi guys! So, I'm a sort of returning player to Magic. I say sort of because as a child I had two main TCG's I liked. Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokemon. Some of my friends branched off in to Magic, and I bought two pre-made decks just to kind of fit in. Like I said, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon were what I really knew how to play. I have a extensive knowledge of deck building in those two TCG's. However, as far as Magic is concerned, I only ever used those two pre made decks. I know how the game is played, and I know general things, but now I want to get in the game for real. I want to begin playing it as a regular. My question is, are all cards ever released from the time of the inception of this game until present day fair game in a deck? Or are there special rules? Are some cards forbidden or restricted? Thanks guys, and I will gladly accept ANY help lol. 
I have the same problem with women.
Is this my new ego sig? Yes it is, other Barry

And that's why you should never, ever call RP Jesus on being a troll, because then everyone else playing along gets outed, too, and the thread goes back to being boring.
See, this is why RPJesus should be in charge of the storyline. The novel line would never have been cancelled if he had been running the show. Specifically the Slobad and Geth's Head talkshow he just described.
Not only was that an obligatory joke, it was an on-topic post that still managed to be off-topic due to thread derailment. RP Jesus does it again folks.
I think I'm gonna' start praying to Jesus... That's right, RPJesus, I'm gonna' be praying to you, right now.
O' Jesus
Please continue to make my time here on the forums fun and cause me to chuckle.
Amen.
It was wonderful. Us Johnnies had a field day. That Timmy with the Grizzly bears  would actually have to think about swinging into your Mogg Fanatic  , giving you time to set up your silly  combo  . Nowadays it's all DERPSWING! with thier blue jeans and their MP3 players and their EM EM OH AR PEE JEES and their "Dewmocracy" and their children's card games and their Jersey Shores and their Tattooed Tenaged Vampire Hunters from Beverly Hills 
Seriously, that was amazing. I laughed my *ss off. Made my day, and I just woke up.

Gerrard said lots of stupid sounding things but that one was genuinely amusing and insightful. Way to go G-man!

It's not out yet but Skullcrack  has some nice flavour text. I love when a card's flavour text ties in with how it's used in games of Magic or it's place within the (meta)game. It's the reason M10 Lightning Bolts are better than other lightning bolt  s.

The original Goblin Grenade  (one of them) had the classic line about how suicide bombers are too stupid to throw the thing. The M12 one loses all this flavor, of course. The "Jace and Chandra" Counterspell  is nice too. Also, Fact or Fiction  . Yeah, Jace can be quite smug and condescending.
Clever deduction Watson! Maybe you can explain why Supergirl is trying to kill me.
