Tamiyo, Moon Sage ideas?
Deck Help forum
Posted on June 12, 2012, 1:20 a.m. by temptingblue90
Struggling to come up with ways to effectively utilize her. I'm pretty new to the game itself so if anyone has some suggestions/deck ideas, it would be great to here them. Also, I am running a Blue/White Spirit deck, however the deck itself is weak and can use an overhaul so its worthless to list the contents of the deck. Looking for ideas and strategies, anything from combos to deck suggestions.
Thanks!

Always best to use her in tandem with Gideon. I recommend running a UW midrange list with her or Esper planeswalkers. Midrange is a relatively new list that runs 4x Blade Splicer , 4x Restoration Angel , 4x Snapcaster Mage , 2x Consecrated Sphinx , 2x Gideon Jura , 2x Tamiyo, the Moon Sage , 4x Ponder , 4x Gitaxian Probe , 4x Mana Leak , 4x Vapor Snag , 23-24 lands (1-2 Moorland Haunt s and I recommend a Ghost Quarter or 2) and some other 3-4 spells like Day of Judgment , Dismember , Gut Shot , etc. for reference google Sam Black UW Midrange. Esper Planeswalkers is self-explanatory. UBW combo of planeswalkers, this guy at my local has an amazing list, I can post it up if you would like. Finally, there is UW miracles/ U/W control: here is my list right now, I am still trying to figure out why I am at 61 but the list is finished as of now, it is incredibly fun: An Empire State of Mind. Turbo fog also gets good use out of her. However, I do not entirely recommend the build, I have not really met anyone who could get it to work in a competitive environment.

I use her in my Too much hand? deck
The other day happen this:
On the field I were a level 7 Lighthouse Chronologist extra turns, 2 Stonybrook Banneret , a Laboratory Maniac , a Tomoya the Revealer , 2 card:Jace's Archivist, 2 Reliquary Tower , a lot of islands, Tamiyo, the Moon Sage and 14 cards on hand.
Thanks to the Lighthouse Chronologist extra turns, i was able to fulfill 9 Loyalty Counter to Tamiyo pretty fast, after that I proceed to use two times the Jace's Archivist, and well after the first time, my hand increase to 28 cards! When I notice I was lol at what happen and I have two ways to win, either to leave my opponent without deck or myself.

Thanks for everyones help, these are all great leads to go off of. @DawnsRayofLight feel free to post that list if you'd like, thanks for the suggestions though. I've been looking into UW miracles/control as well, that deck looks pretty great by the way. Awesome work. @Popck182 The strategy you posted was right up my alley. I found Laboratory Maniac the other day and thought it would be a great counter to my friends brutal mill deck. However like anything else in the game, you need more than to just play the card so I'll look over what you said. Nice combo by the way

Here is the esper list, I think I got it 90% right, I'll see if I can get him to show me the list tonight at the store and update any differences. Walking Those Planes

As far as Tamiyo, the Moon Sage goes, I assume you have the playsests of seachromes and fortresses, UW midrange is the cheapest to make and very powerful. Two of those made it into top 8 with an overall placement of 2nd and 6th. The miracles list is hella fun, but with the format slowing down a bit, I might change it over to midrange before long. I still think it is viable now with the recent addition of Mana Leak s back in the main. I saw only one planeswalker list at the super IQ--the one listed in the previous post--and I think it went 5-2 or 4-3, it has the problem of not having too many answers. The event was 70% UW with Restoration Angel s out on every table; most being of the delver variety. I do not recommend delver right now, RG decks smash it in the face.

She just taps down stuff, nothing anything to learn. If you can do her ultimate, it's generally game over.
If you need extra help keeping her alive, you can use her draw ability.
She's very easy to use, and very effective.
