Looking for advice on this deck. Don't want to have to obtain the 4th Jace, since I'm borrowing the three listed and might even have to drop it to 2. Obvious upgrades such as Reshape to Transmute Artifact, color-matching fetches are lined up for the future. I may be able to borrow 4 Underground Sea from time to time.

Let's start with a budget of...$40?

Thinking about adding a Tezzeret the Seeker. What should come out?

I'm not sure I like Nihil Spellbomb considering how often you will want to put down an early Chalice for 1.
Fabricate or Trinket Mage may be better than Reshape.
It is expensive but it is probably worth running one Mox Opal for a little acceleration and to allow you to cast EE for 3.
I prefer a 3/3 Chalice/Ensnaring split in the main with one more of each in the side.
3 Jace is perfect. I haven't played Tezz the Seeker but he seems reasonable.
I fully admit that I am directing you towards a deck more like mine (which can be found in my signature) but I have had pretty good success with it.
