Tamiyo, Compleated Sage

—

Tamiyo, Compleated Sage is a 5-mana Simic planeswalker with a flexible mana cost (Compleated lets you pay 2 life instead of {G/U}, entering with 5 loyalty instead of 7). Her +1 is a repeatable tap/stasis lock on any artifact or creature — strong control and tempo tool. Her −X is a powerful graveyard-reanimation ability that copies a permanent card, making her a recursive value engine in any graveyard-matters or control shell. Her ultimate creates a legendary artifact token that cuts spell costs by 2 and taps to draw a card, generating game-winning advantage. Signature in control, midrange, and spellslinger builds where the cost reduction is live; excellent in graveyard-matters shells that load up the yard for her −X.

• The Compleated ability means Tamiyo can enter with only 5 loyalty (paying 2 life for the Phyrexian mana pip) — at 5 loyalty her +1 can't immediately protect her, making her vulnerable to planeswalker removal in aggressive matchups where you took the life payment.

• Her −X exiles from the graveyard but creates a token COPY of the card, so the exiled card is gone permanently — this is a one-shot reanimation that trades graveyard density for board presence, not a recursion loop.

• Tamiyo's Notebook ultimate token is legendary, so a second Notebook would cause the legend rule to trigger — but the cost-reduction and draw are both on the token, making it one of the more impactful planeswalker ultimates in Commander for spellslinger and combo decks.
