I love how the card reflects her character. The way I read it, she (+1) knows how all the creatures work and how to trick them, and if she trusts you, she will (-2) share her knowledge with you. And in the end, if you prove trustworthy (-8) she will help you remember all you learn, and show you the essential secrets of a knowledge-based people; How to never forget anything.
Tamiyo has so interesting lore, but they could of done more with her. I think we will see her again. I know wizards of the coast claimed that we won't return to kamigawa, but I believe a return might happen especially now since They had time to create cool mechanics and keywords. I mean Battle for Zendikar is going to be amazing. I am thinking we will go back to alara so a return kamigawa might not be to far away. It would be cool to win a copy of Tamiyo she has a neat card design.
Just started listening to your lore videos recently, but I have learned so much backstory... Thank you for taking the time to compile all of this for us!
Tamiyo was one of my favorite walkers. She really tied together the first control deck I'd ever built. Nice to learn a little bit about her, thanks Seiben!
+Christopher Gruda so feel like he will go to innistrad, just because the people fear the night. He'd fit right in as the new tibalt replacement for torment
I really do think that Tamiyo is an amazing card and I am really happy to learn her lore. Thank you for making all these videos, I really enjoy what your doing here.
It's funny that you posted this today, since I just found out about your channel and actually wanted to learn about about the lore. I didn't know anything about moon folk, since I started playing when Avacyn Restored came out. I bought a few packs with some friends and was blown away by her when I saw that my friend pulled it. I've been jealous of him ever since, haha. Thanks of the cool video!
I really enjoy this concept that you have came up with and it's quite unique and pretty fun really. I must say, Tamiyo was a Planeswalker that confused me when I saw that she was in Avacyn Restored. She seemed so out of place, so you creating this video really puts me at ease because you have taught me more than what I was able to find. I really hope she makes a return in future sets. She is such an interesting character and she really has quite a uniqueness to her. It'll be very sad to see her be tossed aside completely.
Wow! I've never seen her before..! But i still think the lore is really cool and the card itself is amazing too :) (Btw i startet in Khans of Tarkir and that might be why i've never seen her before)
really want her to return in the new innistrad block, since she was studying the moon there and because the second set name is 'eldritch moon' this is probably gunna happen
Hurray for Tamiyo. Such an interesting PW. I always wondered what her backstory was and how/why she was on Innistrad. I think her story being so open ended is great, because it leaves us open to return to not only Innistrad but Kamigawa as well.
Kamigawa is the block I started my MTG journey in. I freaked out when I saw Tamiyo for the first time! All the feelings of 12-year-old me playing Magic for the first time hit me.
I really enjoyed Kamigawa for multiple reasons. It was the set that was around when I first started. I loved the lore of the plane. Bushido is one of my favorite mechanics (I still have a Boros Samurai aggro deck). Tamiyo just gives me hope that we'll one day revisit there.
I once traded away a Tamiyo for a Mind-Sculptor. Then someone stole the Mind-Sculptor. If I get a second Tamiyo maybe I can find someone stupid enough to give me another Mind-Sculptor for it.
This was such an interesting concept for a planeswalker!! I mean she is a Moonfolk of all things!! I really think there was a missed opportunity with her story but still I hope they print another version of her soon along with some cool lore.
I have never heard of this character before. This is why I really like your channel. i get to learn about new characters and Inistrad is a very interesting place. Makes me want to build a deck based around characters from the realm.
thanks for another lore vid^.^ i love lore but since i can't read fast i never read lore. Now you made it poasible to learn lore in a more fun and accessible way for me:D keep it up!
I love your channel so far, I found it just this week and I already have watched almost all your lore videos. You should do one on the slithers or Pherxians next
Tamiyo is such an interesting planeswalker, it would be interesting to see if we return to Kamigawa now that were moving to smaller sets. Love the videos btw :)
Wow, they could do so much more with her story. Wotc, please bring her back. I love planes walkers that thrive on a search for knowledge and research and wonder.
I too am fascinated by moons, so I empathize with Tamiyo. It would be nice to learn more about her history, but as you said, she doesn't seem like someone we'll see again soon. But maybe she'll just pop up again out of nowhere in a future set. XD
Kamigawa was my first Mtg, so this is just too great. I also use Tamiyo in my Stoic Angel control deck (modern) with great success, this brainy gal can really lock down the board!
tamiyo is definitely one planeswalker I have not learned much about. so thanks +seibenlore for the video it helps me to put her into a little more perspective.
Hey, seiben! THIS is rather mindblowing. A new card released with the card text: "you speak to me about the threath of Ulmog, but do not forget: they came here as three" Ugin to Jayce. So probabilities are: the 4 planeswalkerd (5 with ob nixilis) managed to seal away Ulmog, but Emarkul and Kozilek is still out there. So perhaps the 4/5 make the pact of the gatewatch, to unite when Emarkul and Kozilek re-appers. These are just my thoughts though :D but yeah. I would not except that the eldrazi just got defeated and disappeared ;) I really like them
Edit: there is a card, Herald of Kozilek (a herald is a sort of chief/leader), which indicates that the two others still have som presence. Alligned hedron network does confirm Ulmogs defeat, but beware! The eldrazi are not done yet. Actually, I would love a clash between phyrexia and Emarkul/kozilek!
I'd like to see her return in eldritch moon. It feels right, with so many things basically throwing the concept of Jace following her research, and with all the weird stuff happening in SOI, she might be the answer to so many questions
Tamiyo is awesome. First off, as a person who really got back into the game as Kamigawa came out..I loved the Moonfolk (You should really watch Kubo and the Two Strings if you have no concept of what Moonfolk are...it's just fantastic). And I love her card in my modified Jace "War of the Spark" Deck. His deck is Blue-Green and she gives me another avenue to winning...and it's a relatively cheap!
From WotC's Inside R&D videos on Avacyn Restored, they said they needed red and blue planeswalkers to complete the cycle, but they also already had their main characters set out. That is why both Tibalt and Tamiyo got little attention. I think they chose a moonfolk partly because the moon is so important to the horror theme and partly because Kamigawa was the last set that featured so much flavor. Obviously, it did not fare as well as Innistrad did. Kamigawa is now low on their list of planes to return to, but I for one would be excited, especially given the new block structure. We can see a block focus on Tamiyo's return home much the same way Sarkhan was the focus of the Tarkir block. She has a different look and ability set than Jace, and I would welcome a little diversity. Also, we need that astralmancer as a card. He would have been perfect in a commander product like Geralf and Gissa.
I agree with you Seiben, the lore is very thin. One of my favorite things about mtg is the lore behind it all, so I hope that they will expand her lore in the future. Really great video though, cheers from Sweden
I actually loved the Kamigawa block for the flavor of the lore. It may not have had the most powerful sets, but following the original Mirrodin block and the ridiculous affinity builds that ruled the world, I think overshadowed this set. I'd love to get her, and to see another version down the line since MaRo pretty much said they're never going back to Kamigawa.
Tamiyo seems like a powerfull ally to any planeswalker she will enconter considering the amount of secrets and spells she posesses. Maybe some "ajani steadfast/cursed veil" effects on her in the future? For now she will fit perfectly in my modern choke, urbog, mindbend deck.
This might be me, but I'd like to see more of Tamiyo sometime in the future. Maybe even the block after BFZ. There's so much potential and there is so much she can do! My hopes are high.
as some one who started magic in kamigawa it makes me happy so see that some if its people are getting some love( even if she is from inastrad) and i would love to add her to my collection
Tamiyo is aesthetically my favorite planeswalker, I really hope that Wizards will focus on her in the near future and they give her some much needed love. Also I hope to cosplay her at SacAnime!
At first i thought that this planeswalker wasnt any good, that was a while ago but now i realize how awesome it would be to have nothing die and to have no max hand size!
Thank you for this video, Tamiyo is one of my favorite cards ever!I already own her in foil so I don't want to be in this particular give away, it was just great to see really well done Tamiyo content. :)
i personally loved the set that she was driven from it has some of the most powerful cards in magic like sensei's divining top, Sakashima the Inpostor, kumi of the crescent moon, and let's not forget the star dragons and many more
I have a moon folk themed commander deck. basically the whole theme is out draw your opponents and lock out any answers your opponents may have. I know blue is an evil color but I still love the deck.

And in the end, if you prove trustworthy (-8) she will help you remember all you learn, and show you the essential secrets of a knowledge-based people; How to never forget anything.
I think Wizards should make more sets based off global regions like kamigawa is based off Japanese culture.
Here's hoping nothing bad ever happens to Tamiyo!
This aged like milk lol
Tamiyo has so interesting lore, but they could of done more with her. I think we will see her again. I know wizards of the coast claimed that we won't return to kamigawa, but I believe a return might happen especially now since They had time to create cool mechanics and keywords.

It would be cool to win a copy of Tamiyo she has a neat card design.
now imagine Tamiyo meeting Narset. the two could spend their entire lifetimes unlocking the secrets of the multiverse.
Except Tamiyo now serves Phyrexia. Long live the Glistening Oil.
@@Torriotorres
Narset: We must look inward
Tamiyo: yes... let's! *grabs scalpel*
Just started listening to your lore videos recently, but I have learned so much backstory... Thank you for taking the time to compile all of this for us!
man I want a new kamigawa set so badly
Me too
+Itachi45481 I know right?! I started playing with Kamigawa :/
obviously you didn't expirence how boring the set was
I suppose its a matter of opinion and yes it had its faults but when we go back it could really be exciting
If wizards fixed up some of the bad things about the set then I could easily be an amazing set, Ireally like the flavor, art and feeling of the set
Tamiyo was one of my favorite walkers. She really tied together the first control deck I'd ever built. Nice to learn a little bit about her, thanks Seiben!
You should do a lore video on ashiok, the nightmare weaver. He/She seems just as interesting as tamiyo.
+Christopher Gruda so feel like he will go to innistrad, just because the people fear the night. He'd fit right in as the new tibalt replacement for torment
I really do think that Tamiyo is an amazing card and I am really happy to learn her lore. Thank you for making all these videos, I really enjoy what your doing here.
I love these series. Wizards needs a from the vault: planeswalkers.
there are so many reasons I love this channel as well as other lore dedicated lore channels but that song at the end will always make you special!
I want tamiyo and narset to meet and just talk and geek out. then ugin and jace show up and their like. wassup. and they just are nerds and stuff. lol
no . no geeking out plz. that sounds cancerous.. also narset isnt that smart
1. Tamiyo
2. Cryptic Command
3. ???
4. Profit
It's funny that you posted this today, since I just found out about your channel and actually wanted to learn about about the lore.

I just realized the Soratami are rabbit people. WOW I'm slow.
I was today years old so...

What a splendid timing! I just became a fan of this planeswalker not long before this video came out!
really want her to return in the new innistrad block, since she was studying the moon there and because the second set name is 'eldritch moon' this is probably gunna happen
+DERPLE STIEN True, but I think Jace being part of the OGW means that WotC will print him as a blue walker.
He'll *eclipse* Tamiyo.
In the flavour text on one of the spoiled cards she is mentioned
Something like "tamiyo was onto something"
+shawn pomeroy Yes, it talks about her discoveries, but not her presence in a direct quote from her like there was from Nahiri.
Easily one of my favorite cards, and probably the best thing to come out of the plane of Kamigawa. Thanks for doing this one Seiben!
I would love to add Tamiyo to my Planeswalker collection
Okay general garruk
I love the style of Kamigawa! Ninjas are one of my favourite tribal decks
Tamiyo, the first planeswalker I opened...
phoenixmar1 Funny, me too. Field Researcher or Moon Sage?
i have been asking for this video for a long time. thank you for making it at last!
What happens when you lock Tamiyo in a room with a bowl of blueberries and a porcupine?
Noah Daglio beats me
had never heard of tamiyos backstory. Always wondered about her back in the Innestrad Block. Thanks for your work:)
Do penguins have kness ?
No, that's why they waddle.
Tamiyo has always been my favorite blue PW, I've never had a chance to get one myself. Thanks for the lore!
Yay Kamigawia!!
Hurray for Tamiyo. Such an interesting PW. I always wondered what her backstory was and how/why she was on Innistrad. I think her story being so open ended is great, because it leaves us open to return to not only Innistrad but Kamigawa as well.
Thanks for the lore! Tamiyo was the first planeswalker I ever pulled. I used her in a draft and did really well!
Oh dang you are getting more and more generous each time mate love it thanks for the lore like always and here to try again (fingers crossed)
Kamigawa is the block I started my MTG journey in. I freaked out when I saw Tamiyo for the first time! All the feelings of 12-year-old me playing Magic for the first time hit me.
I really enjoyed Kamigawa for multiple reasons. It was the set that was around when I first started. I loved the lore of the plane. Bushido is one of my favorite mechanics (I still have a Boros Samurai aggro deck). Tamiyo just gives me hope that we'll one day revisit there.
Glad you are going back telling the Innistrad stories.
I once traded away a Tamiyo for a Mind-Sculptor. Then someone stole the Mind-Sculptor. If I get a second Tamiyo maybe I can find someone stupid enough to give me another Mind-Sculptor for it.
This was such an interesting concept for a planeswalker!! I mean she is a Moonfolk of all things!! I really think there was a missed opportunity with her story but still I hope they print another version of her soon along with some cool lore.
I would never have known half of the stories in Magic the Gathering without your lore videos.
I absolutely loved the Avacyn restored set! I started playing during innistrad and have a soft heart for that whole block!
Funny looking back at this! because it seems amiyo is central to the new Innistrad block.
I love your vids m8. It's just nice to get to know the stories behind the cards in a nice and clear video :) I'm still curious about vraska's lore
I have never heard of this character before. This is why I really like your channel. i get to learn about new characters and Inistrad is a very interesting place. Makes me want to build a deck based around characters from the realm.
Never knew anything about Tamayo but now I know a lot more thank you for educating me in the mtg lore.
thanks for another lore vid^.^ i love lore but since i can't read fast i never read lore. Now you made it poasible to learn lore in a more fun and accessible way for me:D keep it up!
I love your channel so far, I found it just this week and I already have watched almost all your lore videos. You should do one on the slithers or Pherxians next
I really liked the music in the background. It fits Tamiyo really well
Tamiyo is such an interesting planeswalker, it would be interesting to see if we return to Kamigawa now that were moving to smaller sets. Love the videos btw :)
Love watching your videos makes it slot easier to understand what is going on in the world of mtg
Very nice, would love to have more lore behind Tamiyo some day! Hope they expand on her.
Shows as good as always. I just wish that WoC would expand on either Tamiyo's or Kamigawa's lore.
Her art has always been a favorite of mine, it fits perfectly with the old Kamigawa artwork.
This is one lore I was very interested in, so thank you for making this video :)
Wow, they could do so much more with her story. Wotc, please bring her back. I love planes walkers that thrive on a search for knowledge and research and wonder.
I too am fascinated by moons, so I empathize with Tamiyo. It would be nice to learn more about her history, but as you said, she doesn't seem like someone we'll see again soon. But maybe she'll just pop up again out of nowhere in a future set. XD
I love Tamiyo, she's one of my favorite planeswalkers, ability wise. So many combos!
Kamigawa was my first Mtg, so this is just too great. I also use Tamiyo in my Stoic Angel control deck (modern) with great success, this brainy gal can really lock down the board!
tamiyo is definitely one planeswalker I have not learned much about. so thanks +seibenlore for the video it helps me to put her into a little more perspective.
Tamiyo is such an interesting planes walker. I would definitely like to see more of her in future sets.
How about an episode about Mayael, the Anima? The shards have always intrigued me, especially their leaders. Nice video, SeibenLore!
Hey, seiben! THIS is rather mindblowing. A new card released with the card text: "you speak to me about the threath of Ulmog, but do not forget: they came here as three"

Great video. Have to admit, I honestly expected more from such an awesome planeswalker. Really want the Tamiyo, she would be alot of fun to run! :)
I'd like to see her return in eldritch moon. It feels right, with so many things basically throwing the concept of Jace following her research, and with all the weird stuff happening in SOI, she might be the answer to so many questions
Tamiyo is awesome.

And I love her card in my modified Jace "War of the Spark" Deck. His deck is Blue-Green and she gives me another avenue to winning...and it's a relatively cheap!
speaking of blue planeswalkers, I love that they're bringing back kiora, she looks like a great card and I can't wait to play her
From WotC's Inside R&D videos on Avacyn Restored, they said they needed red and blue planeswalkers to complete the cycle, but they also already had their main characters set out.

Please do more theme deck giveaways!!! That is such a cool idea. I haven't seen any channel give away a whole deck as a prize. Great idea!
I agree with you Seiben, the lore is very thin. One of my favorite things about mtg is the lore behind it all, so I hope that they will expand her lore in the future. Really great video though, cheers from Sweden
Definitely one of the most under appreciated planeswalkers lorewise
interesting, happy to know more about tamio, and i agree, we need to see blue planeswalkers beside Jace moreoften
Tamiyo is most definitely a cool planeswalker, I'd love to see her return soon! perhaps shadows over Innistrad?
Great video :) I've always wanted to know what was up with that weird lady from innistrad... at least this sheds some light on it! Thanks!
I actually loved the Kamigawa block for the flavor of the lore. It may not have had the most powerful sets, but following the original Mirrodin block and the ridiculous affinity builds that ruled the world, I think overshadowed this set. I'd love to get her, and to see another version down the line since MaRo pretty much said they're never going back to Kamigawa.
I just found this channel a couple days ago and i love it keep up the great work. Heres a thumbs up and a subscribe
Tamiyo seems like a powerfull ally to any planeswalker she will enconter considering the amount of secrets and spells she posesses. Maybe some "ajani steadfast/cursed veil" effects on her in the future?
For now she will fit perfectly in my modern choke, urbog, mindbend deck.
My favorite planeswalker. It's awesome that you did the lore.
Nice thanks been waiting for a lore of her for a long time
This card's origin threw me off quite a bit when I first got back into magic. Very good lore piece.
Taimyo seems like she would be a beastly commander! I hope she comes back in the near future, but first: to Zendikar!
I loved this video, I remember seeing tam when I was googling (blank) card and thinking she's cool. Thanks for keeping this game interesting!
Ok so I had never even heard of this Planeswalker...but I wants it lol. Great story update! Love your channel so much Seiben :D
I love love love Tamiyo. As well as what you do here. Keep it up man.
The friend who got me into MTG had a Kamigawa themed deck with Tamiyo in it, she has kicked my butt a bunch of times. Really awesome card.
This might be me, but I'd like to see more of Tamiyo sometime in the future. Maybe even the block after BFZ. There's so much potential and there is so much she can do! My hopes are high.
as some one who started magic in kamigawa it makes me happy so see that some if its people are getting some love( even if she is from inastrad) and i would love to add her to my collection
Tamiyo is aesthetically my favorite planeswalker, I really hope that Wizards will focus on her in the near future and they give her some much needed love. Also I hope to cosplay her at SacAnime!
great video man! i really hope they do more with tamiyo in the future.
At first i thought that this planeswalker wasnt any good, that was a while ago but now i realize how awesome it would be to have nothing die and to have no max hand size!
Thank you for this video, Tamiyo is one of my favorite cards ever!I already own her in foil so I don't want to be in this particular give away, it was just great to see really well done Tamiyo content. :)
Glad you did Tamiyo, she always felt odd in the set and still does.
Tamiyo is such an oddball planeswalker. Though I really hope that we can see more form her and from Kamigawa in the future.
Great and interesting lore video as always. My wife has been asking me to get her a Tamiyo for a while now. Here's hoping I can finally get her one.
I also think they had a Missed opportunity with her after hearing that. So fantastic job
I quite like the lore on Tamiyo and she seems like a planswalker that I would like to build a deck around.
Whelp this will need an update ;). Thanks for all the good work btw!
i personally loved the set that she was driven from it has some of the most powerful cards in magic like sensei's divining top, Sakashima the Inpostor, kumi of the crescent moon, and let's not forget the star dragons and many more
Really like her, one of my favorite Planeswalkers for EDH. Grat Video as always, Keep up the good work!
Never really understod her lore, but you made a good explanation!
I love your lore videos, their freaking awesome lol I hope to get Tamiyo, been looking for her for awhile now and I hope you keep up the great work
I have a moon folk themed commander deck. basically the whole theme is out draw your opponents and lock out any answers your opponents may have. I know blue is an evil color but I still love the deck.
