Strange card. Library manipulation is definitely a Blue characteristic but we have so few ways of doing that right now. We do have Surveil, but Scry would obviously be the better choice.
The ult is a bit blah. The static ability is hit or miss.
Well +1 & -3 kinda synergize with each other.
I totally like her +1. Looks fun & potentially overly powerful.
That's it though. The static one is so random & by now i hate static abilities that don't actively do somethin, but just sit there & hate against very specific xyz decks
Unfortunate . . . with this +1, there were many ways to be creative d:(
I'm pretty sure this is the first card that flat out says your opponents can't make you discard cards. Plenty of individual cards can get value from themselves if they're discarded, and there's recovery options like Spiritual Focus and Library of Leng/Nephalia Academy, but I don't think there's anything else that's basically a Tajuru Preserver for your hand. Which is funny since this is also a Tajuru Preserver.
e:
??? Random? Her abilities are not random. It's about protecting your options. You can't discard or sac, preserving your hand and requiring other answers to your board state. You can dig for specific remedies from your library. After digging, and/or if they answer your board state through another means, you can Regrowth what you lost. Her entire card is synergy.
Seems okay. The +1 is mediocre but flavorful. The -3 is stronger and has good synergy. And in a world of Davriel, his Shadowfugue, and Liliana's Triumph that passive feels pretty strong.

None of her her abilities synergize with one another.

That's it though. The others don't match & are so random.
So this basically helps you set up a pillow fort while allowing you to recur cards that you lost prior to Tamiyo entering the field. This isn't bad. A little underwhelming compared to the rest of the rare planeswalkers, but still not bad.
Even Tamiyo in the artwork looks surprised at her card being like this. Like, everything about this card seems so random including the fact that this is a Tamiyo card.

The ult is a bit blah. The static ability is hit or miss.
I mean, it's not really an ult. You get to use it immediately and still have 2 loyalty left over. Like many of this set's planeswalkers, she has no ult. Think of her in terms of being a Regrowth for 2GU with multiple extra upsides (including potentially more and more Regrowths as the game progresses, synergy with Scry and Surveil, and filling your yard with extra targets to regrow, on top of protecting you from discard and sacrifice effects), and she looks very different indeed.
Sadly not really feeling this. Like... she’s very different, and feels very Tamiyo I guess, but not really a fan. Shame too as I was really looking forward to her.
Monored Sarkhan it is. Tamiyo being GU makes sense when you consider green is a color of lore on Kamigawa.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

good card. Glad WoTC gave her a reasonable casting cost.

Not a big fan of the art tho

Umm... -3 getting cards that you ditched with +1?
+1 synergises nicely with the explore mechanic.
-3 is a repeated Eternal Witness.
Very decent card overall. Could see her in Sultai replacing a small Vraska.

And her +1 enables them big time once they get tucked away third from the top. Coincidence?
