My God, she's lovely. The epitome of blue and a synergistic little box of tricks. Probably my favourite walker.

She's good in a wide variety of blue control decks, but her true home really is in Tap-based decks. Her abilities compliment each other so well, but not in such a way that she plays the game for you like Jace did.
Interesting side note, have gotten her -8 off a few times, and some personal favorites include Sleep and Supreme Verdict.

To quote Iktomi on Toshiro Umezawa:
"Death triggers giving things flashback? This card would love an Innistrad block reprint. Too bad there's no way to fit a Kamigawa legend in flavor wise."
Hard to believe that you were actually wrong in a way.

Her emblem makes Chains of Mephistopheles one sided which is a truly devilish thing to do

For everybody who says that planeswalker abilities are not achievable, this is sometimes not true. In the case of tamiyo, it is completely untrue. What deck uses tapping significantly? That's right, tempo decks. In a tempo deck, people are realistically going to be unable to attack effectively, so she is unlikely to take any hits. I know this because, last time I was at FNM, I did that three times, twice in one round, once in another. The tapping is immensely useful, and the card draw just begs to be used with sleep. Using her with creatures with vigilance, you can tap their fatties, attack with your creatures, get past their weenies, and still be able to defend her. I used Serra Avenger mostly for this, and I found it to be very effective.
Nothing like infinitely casting sleep to keep everything tapped forever.
5/5

Time Stop, Pull from Eternity, Tamiyo, the Moon Sage's emblem.
Throw in Omniscience for good measure.
You're the only one who takes a turn.

Keep this in mind when playing her.
1: Her ultimate is good, but you need to provide the ammo itself. she just makes it renewable.
2: Some cards completely change their meanings if you use them with her. For example, Tome Scour turns into a draw 5 for U. thats insane.
3:don't be afraid to use her -2 ability. If you can stop their big assault, you can use it, draw a lot, and immediately prepare for the next attack.
4: This card can turn counter decks into absolute nightmares, especially if they have Rewind.

I have a hunch that Tamiyo WOULD have appeared in the canceled Innistrad novel. As a narrator/commentator. A 2-4 page discourse on some aspect of lunar influence in Innistrad before each major section, and a paragraph at the beginning of each chapter. She was cast in her introduction as being a detached observer, and just offering prologue, commentary, and Sequel Hook-compatible epilogue would suit that just fine.

Changes Rewind's text to "Win target game."

Because Tunnel Vision needed to be better in EDH.
