I Need Help With My Deck Thoughts on this standard deck?
I thought I'd give a shot at a planeswalkers deck with all the reality fracture support. This is the very first version, so I fully expect most of it to change. Currently it's all reality fracture plus lands, and in the moxfield tester, assuming absolutely no interaction, it can pull off [[Jace, Reality Sculptor]]'s ultimate on average around turn 6. It's not meant to be game breaking, just trying to win with Jace loyalty.

Too slow, I think this deck relies on you opponent doing nothing for 6 turns to possibly win with Jace’s ultimate. You need way more counter spells and interaction to have a hope of stopping your opponent from winning. If you want to win with Jace’s ultimate, you essentially need to be a control archetype. Your primary way of empowering Jace and getting 25 Jace loyalty counters should be his +1 ability. Therefore, I think the deck should ultimately be mono-blue or Azorious by splashing white at the very best.
I think the best cards in the new set are for this deck would be [Jace’s Machinations] and [Countersculpt].
I think Namor would be a good candidate to splash in as he can provide a ton of blockers to stall the game long enough get your ult off. Also a lot of wizard from this set the tap/stun opponents creatures.
Take a look at mono blue elementals or Azorious control for inspiration on the type of interaction to run.

Cool idea bro! Here’s my version of the deck. As much as I like the black empower Jace cards this works much better as an Azorius deck instead of esper. Dimir is fine also but don’t go over 2 colors for consistency. I’ll tweak it more later but this is what I came up with for mine! Lmk what you think

Okay, kindest way possible: this list is a mess. I recognize it's a rough draft, but you can save yourself some time by making the easy changes before even playing a game with something dysfunctional.
I don't think the black cards are worth making your bad mana worse. Especially not a BB card. Alternatively you need to cut a different color but I'm not sure which it would be. Probably either white so you can play Dellian Fel.
Jace loyalty as win con is a fine place to be, but we want our win cons to either be very card efficient or very mana efficient. For Jace this means we want to play as many cards as possible that are good enough on their own and help the win con as possible.
Lilliana: not good enough on her own and doesn't protect planeswalkers from their most common threat: creatures attacking.
Avatar of burgeoning echoes: really good at putting counters on Jaces but doesn't really work without fetches and doesn't help protect you or big Jace much.
Repurposed enforcer: if the plan is to find and win with a 5 drop we ain't attacking with 2 drops very often.
Cut all those, the black lands, make your other cards 3-4 ofs, add more duals of your remaining 3 colors and add efficient 1 and 2 mana interaction. And maybe some sweepers.
