Esper Jace?
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

After reading the newest U/R I am curious of Tamiyo's evaluation of Jace while in his mind... I am not a big Jace fan but it almost sounds like he could be Esper-walker. Bravery and willing to sacrifice (white), a very powerful mind (blue), has killed in anger and used his power for his own selfish ends (black). Could the madness/events in this block facilitate this change of color?.
Discuss.
Any mono-color character will have some similarities to their allied colors. For example, Nissa has a strong sense of togetherness and preservation when it comes to Zendikar (White aligned) and will defend it without a thought (Red aligned). Gideon sees the worth of maintaining the status quo (Green aligned) and will act if given a good plan to start with (Blue aligned). So it's not unreasonable to see Jace split into the different Esper colors, but I don't think we'll see an Esper Jace anytime soon.

They printed him in Origins because he is strictly a 
walker. I doubt they well deviate from that decision.

I'd rather assume he finally got killed off and there will be no more Jace's for a while. More Tamiyo

TMBRLZ not necessarily, Garruk used to be a strictly 
Walker, and he ended up being GB

I think they will start making more tri-color walkers in the close future, maybe if they decide to go back to Alara, which is the most likely scenerio. One for each of shard and having loyalties to boot. That would be pretty cool.

Garruk wasn't an Origins walker though.
When Origins was in development and they announced the walkers they explained that they wanted five walkers who were popular and recognizable, who's origin story had never been thoroughly explained, and who had never changed their color identity throughout their Magic.
So we had Gideon (Ajani has been through Naya colors), Jace, Liliana, Chandra, and Nissa. (Since Garruk had already gone through his 
transformation).
Based on their reasoning for using those walkers based on that fact, I'm thoroughly convinced Jace will always remain .
Everybody wanting a multicolor Jace is just fanboying in my opinion.
I could be wrong, but I have a very strong reason to believe I'm right.

We did have 3 Ajani's in standard at the same time with Ajani, Caller of the Pride, Ajani, Mentor of Heroes and Ajani Steadfast so that argument weakens a bit. Plus we had 2 Sarkhan in one block with Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker and Sarkhan Unbroken showing a major color change within a block.
Both of those examples were under the old block structure though so it may be completely moot anyways, but it has been done before.
I do agree that we don't need another new Jace though, burnout is a real thing. I'd like to explore more about the other characters than just poster children in the game.

I hope they kill him off. I'm sick of hearing about him. More Bolas!
