Jace, the Mind Sculptor
Planeswalker — Jace
+2: Look at the top card of target player's library. You may put that card on the bottom of that player's library.
0: Draw three cards, then put two cards from your hand on top of your library in any order.
-1: Return target creature to its owner's hand.
-12: Exile all cards from target player's library, then that player shuffles his or her hand into his or her library.

You really need Lantern of Insight more than Jace, the Mind Sculptor. The lantern is harder to remove and continuous.

My take here is that eras, rather than the game as a whole, are defined by iconic cards, usually cards that dominate the landscape around them or that represent the state of design philosophy of the time. (This criterion is more based on competitive value than I usually lean toward, but how do you pick a card that says, "This is what Magic: the Gathering is all about!")
The Power Nine, Necropotence, Arcbound Ravager, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, and Lurrus of the Dream-Den are all examples of cards that are iconic of an era by way of power. The Power Nine represent a time when the idea of buying, collecting, and selling cards for their own sake wasn't being considered. Lurrus of the Dream-Den represents an era of wild experimentation and heavy pushes for power.
The era we're in right now, in my opinion, is marked by a rapid increase in supplementary products (Commander sets alongside Standard sets, Universes Beyond) and "tracking" mechanics like day/night, dungeons, Ring tempting, and similar effects. So what card defines this? I'm going to say Nazgul. It's not on the same power level as the cards I listed above, but it's the most representative of the current design philosophy: non-M:tG origin, uses a tracking mechanic, and modifies deck building rules. We'll see what shakes out in a few years,

Turn Off Artifact-effects deal with it preemptively too, Stony Silence comes down earlier than the Ring.
Discard effects trade up on mana too, your 1mana Thoughtseize traded for the 4mana One Ring.
I'm scrolling through an image of the Modern Meta, and in the top 10 decks, there's like only 2 who actually play the thing. It's a 4 mana play in Modern that does nothing but draw you cards and lose you life. Jace, the Mind Sculptor was unbanned and barely made an impact with his return, I'm not sure why we'd have to be so scared of this when it probably does less. The only actual problem is that Modern is littered with free pitch-cards to use when you draw a lot of cards. The biggest threat the LotR set is posing is still MH2 xD
Yawgmoth, Thran Physician can proliferate the Burden Counters to push for more lifedrain. Not very reliable as a tactic, but possibly useful to consider as option and hilarious if it actually contributes in a significant way :P

4 Counterspell cut any of the blue counter like stuff like charm cut Bonfire for 4th Terminus 3 Counterbalance for anything honestly Counterbalance seems like the big selling point the core of the deck counterbalance terminus and maybe entreat also all planeswalkers should be Jace, the Mind Sculptor

Narset, Enlightened Storm cEDH

Hey, I've been working on my narset CEDH deck, some cards like lions eye diamond I am avoiding since I don't plan to ever get it, but, I wanted to ask what the plan with Approach of the Second Sun? It removes the consistency from narset attacks and won't work to win if you don't cast it from your hand, but with Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Brainstorm, and Sensei's Divining Top you can swing once and grab it from the deck to your hand. Is there something I'm missing in your deck list?

I like planswalkers personally... %90 of the decks that I brew that are not just netdecked or a tribal deck are usually built around a planswalker and there abilities... I just find that kind of deck building to more fun and can lead to some interesting things. Serra the Benevolent is my personal favorite example of this that I've done.
But I will say I can definitely see why there is room to complain about them...because of there existence it's very much so a case of if your deck strategy can use one then why wouldn't you?
-
they are something else to fuel delerium/Tarmogoyf.
-
war of the spark made some into global enchantment effects by having static abilities in addition to an activated loyalty ability.
-
they are a resource lightning rod by either demanding removal or act as a pseudo lifegain by drawing attackers.
-
in addition to a sorcery speed effect/ability which usually gives value by itself... something like Jace, the Mind Sculptor also just wins you the game if ignored.

With Nightpack Ambusher out you can change some lands, because you need less , I recommend the following:
- +1 Ice Tunnel, -1 Zagoth Triome
- +1 Castle Vantress, -1 Snow-Covered Island
- +1 Waterlogged Grove, -1 Nurturing Peatland
Also i'd cut 1 Brazen Borrower for some card advantage: Cling to Dust, JtMS, Memory Deluge
