So eminence lets you make temporary copy of your non-token wizards for an extra 1 mana. And in play ability lets you dome someone for 7. On a 4/5 for 5 thats not bad. But id be okay with just leaving her in the command zone.
Tap 5 for 7 damage gives Wizards something to do other than just draw. But the Eminence is a little awkward. Temporary Wizard copies don't do much. The best wizards are legendary, and the best non-legendary is probably Patron Wizard, who would only be around for that turn for 1. Eh. It's good for people who want Grixis Wizards but if there's no color preference, Azami continues to reign as the best Wizard and among the best commanders overall.
I don't see why she needed the tap 5 wizards thing. It'll rarely matter, especially since you should be sending those Kiki-Jiki-esque tokens into the red zone.
I'd much prefer if her 2ndary ability was giving other wizards some practical tap effect (Tap, Sacrifice this creature: Draw a card.). Heck, I'd be happy with her if she just went mini-Akroma with Haste, Menace, Flying, and Hexproof.
At least the people who guessed shapeshift notice the flavor it seems of the copies of the wizards around her.

I imagine we are gonna see a bunch of new cards that are wizards with ETB effects, looking through gatherer there aren't that many really great effects for this gal to abuse.
All i am gonna say is that Eminence ability would be better for Changlings to spam clone effects.
Yes, it does work. Just let the trigger happen and then activate sundial with it on the stack. You will keep the token and it won't trigger again.
Anyway, this is a weird card. In a way it makes all your wizards cost more, since you probably want to copy them all. Oh well, I'm sure someone will find a way to abuse this.
EDIT: looking at the ETB wizards, almost all of them seem very mediocre, especially given that you don't get to keep the token. Maybe the value is worth it, but this is looking like the worst emminence general as of yet, worse than the Ur-Dragon. I would scale them as Cat=Vampire > dragon > wizard. DISCLAIMER: analysis based on 1v1. For multiplayer, where games are slower, she is probably one of the best. Something like wizards > vampire > dragon > cat.

Or tappingwizards. I think that's actually what they're going for here, since it makes no sense sending your wizards (which don't have the best P/Ts, usually) into the red zone.
Weird card, especially the second ability. So aggressive.

But this is a incredible wizard tribal
I smell Nekusar, the Mindrazer reprint. Since it's grixis and zombies are mentioned.

However Grixis tokens seems cool, not what I expected at all.
