What it does

Planeswalkers you control aren't put into their owners' graveyards for having 0 loyalty.
Planeswalkers you control have "[+2]: This planeswalker deals 1 damage to each opponent and you gain 1 life."
Rulings
6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2026-08-21
Some spells and abilities that empower Jace may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't empower Jace.
- 2026-08-21
To empower Jace N, if you don't control a Jace planeswalker token, create a blue Jace planeswalker token with 0 loyalty, "[−1]: Surveil 1," and "[−3]: Draw a card." Choose a Jace planeswalker token you control. Put N loyalty counters on it.
- 2026-08-21
Empower Jace won't let you put loyalty counters on nontoken Jace planeswalkers. However, if you control a Jace planeswalker token that you got another way (such as an effect that creates a token that's a copy of a permanent), empower Jace will put loyalty counters on that.
- 2026-08-21
If you control a Jace planeswalker token, you can't choose to create a new one when you empower Jace. You have to put the loyalty counters on your existing Jace planeswalker token. In the rare case that you control multiple Jace planeswalker tokens, you'll choose one of those tokens to put the loyalty counters on.
- 2026-08-21
Only one loyalty ability of each planeswalker may be activated per turn, no matter how many it has gained.
- 2026-08-21
If a planeswalker you control has zero loyalty counters while you control Sanctum Lurker, it will not be put into its owner's graveyard. You may still activate abilities of that planeswalker that cost [0] or that add counters to it as a cost, such as the one granted by Sanctum Lurker.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Sanctum Lurker. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.
Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
