temporal mastery seems quite good in a deck with jace and brainstorm and fow…which is a lot of decks.
Can be used to immediately win when playing blightsteel/progenitus. An early explore or a second jace activation are quite good too.

Hi Montolio! I don’t think Tamiyo would take over a Tezz slot. Her Ultimate doesn’t end the game like Tezz does, and while locking down an Emrakul, etc. seems good, I think I’d rather just play Tezz, tutor up the missing Vault/Key piece and never give my opponent a chance to deal with my game winning Planeswalker. Tamiyo does have some sweet abilities, but there is a high bar to cross for Planeswalkers in Classic as “Jace is better than all”!

Hi Ranth! Maybe you could enlighten us to these “obvious abuses”? I think there is too much work required to get a free turn (which doesn’t mean a whole lot in most deck beyond explore + relentless assault, but I said this much in my last article). If I, and anyone else for that matter, is missing something, please do share!

I always have found Classic iffy, but making decklists that seem budget without lotuses and moxes always seem futile to me.

Uhm… Temporal Mastery..am I the only person that sees the obvious abuses for this card?

No love for Tamiyo Scott?
I think she will find a home in some classic decks. I will be testing her out forsure in a control style build. Yep she is slow at 5, and fills Tezz slot but I think all her abilities are decent and she pitches to fow.
