Help with an accurate character build of Jace Beleren from MtG

[Feerija]

Hello I am totally new to the world of Dungeons and Dragons and now of course Baldur's Gate 3. Accordingly I don't really have much idea about how to optimally choose and develop my character class. I would like to start a game with a character based on Jace Beleren from Magic the Gathering. So a mage who works with illusion and deception magic? Which class should I choose in this case and why? Which spells would you recommend so that it comes as close as possible to the Jace model? I would be very happy about some help

I would say you probably want to take an Illusion Wizard, it just seems fitting.

You have insane crowd control, similar to a pure blue control deck. On top of that, you'd probably want to go Sage for background and focus on neutral-good dialogue choices. Find yourself a nice blue dye and you should be good to go.

Mage hand cantrip, minor illusion and other goodies are also nice utility spells for grouping enemies or moving things at range.
