[[spoiler:He manages to shit-talk Elesh Norn in his head before succumbing properly to compleation, manages to break its hold on compleation.

* The final chapter of the main story shows just what [[spoiler:Jace Beleren]] can do when allowed to flex. To wit: [[spoiler: He completely outmaneuvers Oko, a noted trickster, manages to make off with the main treasure of the Vault everybody's after, gets away before most people even realise he's there, and his teamwork with Vraska has upped significantly. From the reveal of 'Ashiok' being Jace in disguise to his exit, he quickly establishes WHY he's such a notable powerhouse.]]

It ends with Jace [[HoistByHisOwnPetard using his power as the Living Guildpact]] to condemn Azor for ruining Ravnica, Ixalan and every other plane he visited. The magic makes Azor utterly powerless thanks to being the parun of Azorius, and thus a part of Ravnica. Jace condemns him to be the guardian of Useless Island and never meddle in mortals' affairs again. Despite all his might, Azor is forced to comply.

* Trying to rendezvous with the rest of the strike team, Elspeth and Tyvar are confronted by the Compleated Ajani and Tibalt. During the fight, Elsepth finds herself overwhelmed by Tibalt's doubt magic and Ajani's BreakingSpeech, making her almost unable to fight back. So what does Tyvar do? Grab one of Tibalt's tails and reverse one of Phyrexia's favorite tricks by covering ''him'' in Phyresis-resistant Glimmervoid metal, completely negating his magic and letting Elspeth get the HeroicSecondWind she needs to defeat Ajani. Tyvar then follows this up by stabbing Tibalt in the heart with his own tail before tossing him off the bridge, finally killing the bastard.
