I'm guess the past tense is because Jace is looking through her research. I'm betting Tamiyo has already left Innistrad for somewhere else and left behind some info on the moon.
Ugh, I seriously hope not. I've been looking forward to a new Tamiyo for a long time.
Any chances of that where ruined when they showed Jace as the poster planeswalker. They won't have two mono-U walkers in the same block.

Am I the only one who is kind of sad this is happening? The major leaks for both OGW and now this. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot more packs in circulation if these two can show up like this, but I really hope there aren't. Destroys the spoiler season and the order of reveals that make it interesting.
I am, MaRo is right in that spoiler season is an experience, fun one at that for me, but I'm not at a terrible loss if that's ruined for me. The challenge then becomes can I restrain and not look at spoiler threads and not take part in discussions with people who do know the spoilers, or do I look at spoilers and lose the "experience" but retain the opportunity to discuss it with people.

Try getting really drunk, look at spoilers and chat with us, then hope you don't remember them the morning after.

Personally, it doesn't bother me in the least, but I understand fully why it would bother others. Especially those who have to try and write pieces about spoiled cards; or worse, as seen with last set, where articles had already been written, and suddenly made pointless because of the spoilers. I don't think commons or most uncommons being spoiled would really hurt said articles, but rares and the key cards for certain mechanics definitely would.

No, I am too. I mean, so far it's fine, these few common/uncommon spoilers are just whetting my appetite and making me curious about the Limited format. But if we end up with half the set (or god forbid the whole thing like in the New Phyrexia godbook leak), that would SUCK. It's not completely terrible if it's close to release and it just takes the wind out of one or two preview weeks, though that's still kind of disappointing.
Can you imagine if we wound up knowing the entire set months beforehand? That's just about the most effective way I can imagine to dampen enthusiasm for the set, short of announcing "Surprise! It's just a Fallen Empires reprint!"

The whole story about these leaks is just PR... There is a reason why we don't see the best cards leaked first.
If Wizards was orchestrating the leaks they would have better timing.
It is a little suspect that, 0ut of all of the leaked cards, no one card is especially exciting or powerful, seemingly all of the mechanics have been covered, and only a handful of story details as well.
Leaks fit the block theme of clues and solving a mystery too, just saying

Yeah, these started before the rollout of OGW (preview weeks to Pro Tour) had finished. There's no possible way that WotC undercuts their winter set with their spring set like that.

The fact that the new mechanics/keywords are already spoiled is by far the biggest strike against Wizards being behind this as far as I'm concerned.
Interesting, the drama around Markov manor likely has more to do with Edgar Markov than Sorin, seeing as the latter is banished from Markov manor. Perhaps Nahiri really is pointing her guns at the root of darkness on Innistrad. Considering the manor and Edgar are the root of blood magic and vampirism.
I assume the flavour text for 'pore over the pages' (always thought it was 'pour over'- quick google search shows that I've only used that totally incorrectly a dozen times or so in my adult life. Awesome.) refers to Avacyn being created by Sorin. Information which I thought was unknown to the general denizens of Innistrad. I have done no research to back this up.

I agree, this is ruining the slow reveal of spoiler season that I have always loved, and is instead just a sudden burst of what the set's gonna look like out of the blue.
On the bright side, this appears to be a fabulous set so far.
I think we have already seen the fate of Markov Manor on that other card. (The one with the Nahiri flavor text.)
So apparently Markov Manor disintegrates or vanishes into another dimension and Jace is linking that to the moon via Tamiyos research.
That is quite probable. And I have suspicion that the "cryptoliths" are the hedronlike columns Nahiri is using for wrecking the manor.
Interesting flavor points:
VOLDAREN! - after being shafted in original block (getting only Olivia, whereas Falkenrath, Markov and Stromkirk have several cards each), there is already a creature and another character quoted in the flavor text of Dead Weight (Relio Voldaren)
Explosive Mechanism is functionally and visually referencing Aeolipile.
"This Tamiyo WAS onto something" - she's probably not dead, but definitely gone. But as said before, her chances to appear here were almost nil with Jace being a poster chíld.
For a fleeting moment (and seeing a small pic on my phone), I thought that the guy on Pour Over the Pages was Jenrik (the character, not the poster)
It looks like someone is just opening boosters rather than a direct from the file leak... which is why there is so many commons rather than mythics like last time.
The power level seems a little low this time but the flavour for this set is still just so great. Erk too many sorceries that I need to be instants. I miss you forbidden alchemy already. Untapping lands is a dangerous mechanic, should be very good in commander, why yes I will untap this Coffers.
I am looking forward to some good grave hate so much stuff keeps coming back, (Although at least rally rotates out but Ojutai's command and Kolaghan's command remain)

Nope. The earlier, the better.
And those who don't like it can always simply not look at them until they're officially spoiled.
