Question: I thought the Core 2019 story stated that the Meditation Realm is Ugin's or that the twins share it?
Ugin found the Meditation Plane first, but Bolas eventually killed Ugin there after he became a planeswalker himself and claimed it as his own. (The plane actually reconstituted Ugin into his current form, before Ugin left.)
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
The gem is the mcguffin to Lord Bolas's downfall! Hilarious
There was a guy here who had an image with "the fall of Bolas" or something like that and an arrow pointing at that gem in his signature since alara. Where is he now?
To be fair, any video game player would target that gem without being told.
This card is freaking *great*.
It’s Mind Spring at worst, and game winning once it starts ramping up.

So this is like the Thanos-Antman theory, except Ugin is Ant-Man and the Gem is Bolas' Mind Butthole

if i've got the ability to spend 12+ mana on this i was already winning and there are plenty of other things i could've cast.
if i don't have the 12+ mana to put into this... there are a lot of other spells that draw me cards for cheaper that don't exile themselves, especially in an environment where mission briefing exists.

Wait, so is the Gem of Becoming supposed to be a portable version of Bolas' previous Imperial Shrine on Madara? When that thing broke, the elder dragon got dragged back to his Meditation Plane from being way too powerful for the plane to handle.

We must find him. Guy is legend wait-for-it dary!
It's actually a plot device and kinda weak story telling. Gotta keep selling them cards though!
Jace, Vryn's Prodigy and Baral, Chief of Compliance commander decks will probably at least try this.
6 Islands and another blue source for the High Tide and it'll pay for itself, draw 10 cards, sounds like a fine plan.

Heavens forbid Bolas not be perfect and have anything resembling a weak point of any sort, even when it’s one only his twin brother can exploit.

Apparently he never pointed the gem of Becoming but just a random rock throwed by Jace
