Tamiyo, Collector of Tales
The static ability is the real prize, and it is a wholesale rebuke to two of black's oldest coercion strategies at once: discard and edict effects both bounce off her. That protection is unusual for a green-blue planeswalker to carry as passive text, and it recontextualizes every plus and minus underneath it, because those abilities matter far less than the wall of immunity they sit behind. The plus is a Gatherer-style dig that fills the graveyard as a byproduct, which is the mechanic quietly doing setup work: names you whiff on become fuel for the minus, which returns any card (not just a creature, not just an instant) from that graveyard to hand. The loop is self-reinforcing without ever demanding you build around a specific engine card; the +1 bins spare copies, the -3 pulls back whatever you most want, and the passive ensures nobody strips the reward from your hand before you spend it. This is a Tamiyo built as a control anchor for grindy attrition mirrors, where the deck that cannot be forced to discard or sacrifice tends to win the long game by default. She protects the resources she generates, then generates more; the design's whole personality is refusing to lose to the strategies that punish resource hoarding, which is exactly the strategy she enables.
