Jace is by far more powerful not purely on it's obvious power but because of the degree of interactions it has in the format. This gives it good interactions with pretty much every card in the game.

It's power again is the fact it can tutor anything and put it in your hand. Demonic Tutor is only as good as what it can tutor for. SFM definitely needs cards to work, just like Jace. Maybe you cast that Stoneforge and it doesn't make a difference anyway cause you are dead on the board. Maybe you found a fetchland to shuffle away some stuff you didn't need. Perhaps Jace didn't find you your answer that turn. You use a very specific scenario that while it could happen doesn't negate the goodness since the probability is low.

2 - this point has been pushed really hard, magic is a game of synergy, if you have jace on the field and you brainstorm to find 3 lands while you have a hand full of lands and no board he didn't do a damn thing for you, that's less than a SFM will do if she is surrounded by landsīut not less if all the equipment has been removed from your deck. Quote from FockerTheLopperIt's annoying when people say "SFM needs cards around her to work" 1 - she doesn't, she tutors that's why she's so good. Batterskull may seem more flexible in it's colorless but it's mana cost still makes it prohibitive for it's power level. Stoneforge Mystic has a lot of power too but it is more narrow. The double blue and 4CMC is one of it's greatest weakness, but to balance it against it''s powerlevel (degree of goodness in respect to cards in the format) it still comes out on top.

That may make it look like it requires no cards but that is because it makes so many cards look better. It works well with the highest degree of cards. It's actually that the opposite is true that makes Jace so good. Jace requires cards that produce blue mana to begin with. If every card in magic had 3 different colors in it's mana cost Black Lotus wouldn't be nearly as good. It's cost is nothing and it interacts well with pretty much every card ever printed. Black Lotus is seen as one of the most powerful cards of all time due to it's synergistic characteristics. Powerlevel is completely a function of synergy to it's card pool. Magic is a game of synergy, and all the cards interacting the way they do is a part of what makes cards good. Quote from mindequalsblownYou cant just say Jace is better because it relies on no other cards to work.
