I think Narset could very well a URW planeswalker based on UR story saying that she was to be executed as a heretic. Red is the color of creativity.

Seeing that art, I do believe Narset will be Azorious Planeswalker.
And I agree that her ult will probably be an emblem of Omniscience, but I have an itching suspicion that she will get a link to her original attack trigger in the form of Manifest. I'm thinking perhaps her + or - ability will involve looking at the top 4 cards of your library, manifesting one of them and putting the rest to the bottom. Then again, I suppose Manifest wasn't really Jeskai's colours in the first place. Oh well.
I just hope she is both: some combination of URW colors, and is 4 cmc or less and able to compete with Ajani for patriot in modern. Fingers crossed she involves card drawing/cheating them out like her khan version
Edit: I know this is unlikely but after the slew of junk colored love modern has been getting a control player can dream

In my opinion, Narset is likely UWR. Since she has been branded a heretic, I suspect that she might have discovered the old scrolls that Shun Yun locked away. She might have discovered Ghostfire, which Ojutai had banned.
I've seen past problems where the art direction does not necessarily match the color flavor. For example, some people speculated that the art for Knight Exemplar was Green-White when the art was spoiled, but it ended up being a white card.
One common trope with time travel is encountering yourself.
Could it be possible to have 2 Narsets in this set? There could be Planeswalker Narset who 'walked away from Tarkir the moment Sarkhan went back in time, and Legendary Narset who grew up without a spark because the alternate timeline Narset still existed.
I'm gonna make a bold statement and say she will be mono U.
I have been thinking the same thing.

I was wondering the same thing. If we do get her as a PW she's at least UW IMO. We don't have Venser so might as well.

flappy: I think that the Xenagos precedent is more likely to point to another form of Sarkhan Vol in DTK. Honestly, just like you have to have Dragons in a Dragon set, it would be very odd if the Dragon Planeswalker (no, not Ugin or Bolas) doesn't show up in DTK.
Having said all of this, Narset as a Planeswalker is pretty good odds.
I'm thinking she will be U/W made for an aggro or controlly build. U/W is a 'dragon clan' right now, plus that booster art- hard to not see it as white/blue since WotC is creative like that.
There is a lot hinting she will be a planeswalker and a little hinting at her abilities.
We can cross out abilities on current planeswalkers, as that would be redundant.
Shes a monk still- so prowess and combat is kind of thing. Meaning- I doubt she will be mill.
Sorin AND Ajani give lifelink to creatures, so I doubt she will be #3 there.
Jace bounces, so another doubt there.
So- I'm guessing something like a low casting cost with these abilities
3 loyalty
+1 target d00d is unblockable, gain 1 life.
-1 becomes a 3/3 creature with unblockable and hexproof
-6 Emblem; each time you cast a spell, gain 3 life.
I doubt she will be Azorius because she needs contrast with Ojutai. UWR is possible but I doubt it since I suspect Wizards wants to play up the differences in the timeline.
Additionally, I predict she will have an "assassinate" flavour (something along the lines of Vraska the Unseen and Garruk, Apex Predator's first ability) and want to hunt Sarkhan down and kill him for changing the timeline in some convoluted time-travel thing. Something like COC: Red Alert 3.
