[SCD] Tamiyo, the Moon Sage - Page 2

RobotHouse · 05-02-2012, 06:59 PM

I kind of like the idea of her with an Esper Heartless build. Dropping a turn 3 Lili, turn 4 Frost Titan, and then turn 4 Tamiyo seems like a good way to control someones board. then again though, I just enjoy heartless in general.

Tamiyo, The Moon Sage's ultimate + Time Warp= GG

I assume you mean temporal mastery which exiles.

If her ultimate goes off and you have things in your hand, you win. It's as simple as that. Unless you're starting down some crazy board position, you win. Infinite DOJ? Yes, please.

I have seen a couple games where her ultimate was able to go off, but the guy was so far behind on board position that he wasn't able to catch up. His opponent just dropped threat after threat. Bear in mind, this wasn't the best constructed deck, but something to remember.

I've experimented with Tamiyo in a delver deck and it's been relatively awesome. Being able to attack with a couple dudes, dropping tamiyo post combat and refiling your grip is pretty insane.

In RUG ramp she's also performed admirably. The best use for her is stalling really. When you have no titan or sweeper, tamiyo holds down the fort for a couple of turns. Being across the table from her gideon and lingering souls...yeah that's pretty good to. Tamiyo is probably going to make waves.

So i'm running her as a 2 of in my U/W Control deck. And I have gotten her -8 off before yes you win the game but i have never been in a place I need to get to this off or I lose because it simply win more. Counters for days, DOJ for days etc etc etc. But getting it off means you have expended a lot of cards to protect her, or there board state is lacking massively.

To be honest I really really like her -2. I don't use it that often but when paired with Gideon its a tidings at worst, but more often then not its drawing 4-7 cards.

I like her +1 the most, tapping down a land at worst, taping down the largest non-hexproof guy on the board has some advantages.

But all and all, I feel that Tamiyo, while powerful doesn't have the impact to be more than a 2 of main board in a control shell.

I managed to ultimate her a couple times last night. Drawing 4 from Forbidden Alchemy was pretty nice, I must say.

I will utilize her in some form of U/G deck that sees her getting to -8 as fast as possible and playing Fog over and over again, I swear I will make it work.

And then I will get punched in the face by my opponent for it.

He will just Hellrider or Zealous Conscripts and u will QQ hard

Guess its not as bad as Gideon, he is so anti creatures its dumb

I played 2 Gideon and 1 Tamiyo (all I had) in UW control at FNM, and it rocked the house every time it hit the table. Using Tamiyo to tap the biggest threat and having Gideon absorb the rest puts aggro in quicksand.

LandBoySteve · 05-05-2012, 05:41 AM

She was played against me last night at FNM. She's the real deal. Between using her +1 to tap down my creatures and -2 to draw cards, my opponent was drawing up to five cards every few turns. It was crazy.

Did I say she was the real deal?

Boon · 05-06-2012, 03:18 AM

Yes, tamiyo is very good. On first glance, not so much. But she does control the board well and gets alot of counters..

Ginolard · 05-07-2012, 06:10 AM

I will hold my hand up and admit I went "meh" when she was spoiled. Then I played her in a U/W flicker deck with Stonehorn Dignitary and Venser and got her ultimate with a Vapor Snag in hand.....

Now I love her.

Dlucks · 05-07-2012, 12:35 PM

I keep trying to think up a U/G tempo deck or maybe even a Bant Super Friend control deck. A BUG would probably make better use of her ultimate though.
