Jace, Mirror Mage
Legendary Planeswalker — Jace
Kicker 
When Jace enters, if Jace was kicked, create a token that's a copy of Jace, except it's not legendary and its starting loyalty is 1.
+1: Scry 2.
0: Draw a card and reveal it. Remove a number of loyalty counters equal to that card's mana value from Jace.

Jace, Mirror Mage enters, scrys 2, and immediately copies itself — that's a three-mana planeswalker that doubles your loyalty-ability output from turn one. Compared to similarly costed blue walkers like Elminster, Jace gives you board presence and card selection the moment he resolves, with the token doing real work every turn after.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Elminster
Elminster triggers off scry, and Jace, Mirror Mage's enter-the-battlefield scry 2 plus repeated scry from his +1 feeds that engine every single turn — both copies of Jace firing means double the Elminster triggers.
Galadriel of Lothlórien
Galadriel of Lothlórien cares about scrying and putting counters on permanents, and Jace, Mirror Mage delivers scry on entry and on his +1, making him one of the more consistent trigger sources in the deck.
Commodore Guff
Commodore Guff rewards running a high density of planeswalkers, and Jace, Mirror Mage contributes two walkers from a single card — double the loyalty counters Guff can manipulate and double the triggers from his passive.
Elrond, Master of Healing
Elrond, Master of Healing's scry payoffs make Jace, Mirror Mage an attractive inclusion, since the on-entry scry and recurring +1 scry fire Elrond's triggers reliably without needing any other setup.
Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus
Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus doubles proliferate triggers, and Jace, Mirror Mage gives two planeswalker permanents to stack counters on — each proliferate hit advances both copies simultaneously, accelerating toward Jace's ultimate far ahead of schedule.

In Commander, Jace, Mirror Mage is a legitimate role-player in any blue deck that wants scry payoffs or planeswalker density — the enter-the-battlefield copy means three mana gets you two loyalty permanents, which is exceptional value in a singleton format. In Pioneer and Modern, Jace, Mirror Mage has never found a home as a maindeck threat; three mana for a planeswalker that doesn't immediately protect itself or close games is too slow against the interactive decks that dominate those formats. Legacy and Vintage give him legal standing but no competitive footing — the formats move too fast for a value-oriented walker with no immediate impact on the board state beyond a scry. Oathbreaker is where Jace, Mirror Mage can shine as a signature-spell shell, pairing naturally with instant or sorcery draw spells and generating two sources of loyalty-ability value each turn.
