I've been playing with Tamiyo for a while now, and I just feel that Bant has just been forced on her. She seemed so mono blue.
Did she smell a flower, and it made her UG. Then do something good, which made her WUG. Dont all the planeswlakers feel all5 colors every now and then. I just dont get it....
She has abilities that ties upon Bant colors, mostly on blue, but to keep ker from costing 4UU or 3UU they made her 1WUG. Sure she could be mono color but would cost alot more and making her bant reletes to her personality/story arc.

She was made Bant solely to be a niche walker in this set. I believe this was mentioned on the mothership, though I do not recall which article it was in. In short, in order to not thoroughly disrupt the planeswalker color spread in Standard she was made into powerful, three color walker. It was this or not have her in the set at all.
I see this as a temporary shift in color based on current emotion/experiences. Kinda like Ajani going Vengeant. Once the guy calmed down it he was white again. Nothing changed in Ajani except for strong rage, which eventually calmed down.
Playing with fire when you don't know the story
Ajani was Vengeant before Lorwyn story time. Alara came before Lorwyn chronologically.
Ajani Vengeant -> Ajani Goldmane -> Other Ajanis.
One Can assume that Ajani pre Jund was WG or mostly W... Like Sarkhan told hin how to focus R mana In The comics ( or At least how to channel mana while He was mad With Vengeance)
Exactly. I'm just saying I am not a fan of just throwing extra colors on someone just so they can be in the set. They didnt "have to", they could really do anything they want.

This is true, in the same way that they don't 'have to' make a good drafting environment, and they don't 'have to' make a balanced standard. They can do whatever they want, but if it messes up their larger goals it is stupid. They have goals they set for themselves, and they believe they mostly meet them each expansion. They can't know if they met them until after the set is in our hands and then we wreck their 'perfectly' crafted standard with our insane ideas, but they get close enough most times. So while they 'can' do whatever they want it would be dumb of the them. So we get compromises.
EMN spoiler season is over, so I'm locking this down. If you want to continue the Tamiyo discussion, please make a new thread in the relevant format forum.

Edit: It is explained here
Standard - Some kind of control
Modern - UB Mill (casual)
EDH - Meren's Grave Shenanigans
