Jace, Memory Adept + Balal Enhancemancer
WotC intends most of the planeswalkers to be useful regardless of the deck (something like the original Nissa being an exception that proves the rule). This Jace requires a lot of Auras to be of any use. I'm not personally against "niche" 'walkers though.
Why is this
? Only the second ability seems blue and even it could be a 
ability. The whole card stinks of 
. I think it could work as a 
hybrid walker.
Why is this a Jace? Seems entirely unnecessarily, especially considering how many Jaces there is already and how this doesn't relate to those in any fashion.
The first ability putting the aura on the battlefield is just asking for trouble. Skipping mana costs is always dangerous. It also makes the ultimatum feel less special and/or required.
I would be tempted to expand the Aura theme to cover enchantments (just replace first and second abilities words of "Aura" with "enchantment") or "Auras and/or Equipment" (both attach to things) in which case it should perhaps be mono-
(perhaps Nahiri?).
Jack created this as a mashup, and Jack usually likes to stick as close as he can to the source cards. Blue has interacted with auras in the past - Simic Guildmage, Aura Finesse/Aura Graft, Glamer Spinners etc.
But yes, to me this looks like it wants to explore the same space as my Atine, Sculptress of Dreams (which used to be a
hybrid).
