in the replies, seems she still holds an ironbound scroll containing the destruction of Serra's Realm, so looks like dominaria's getting nuked by that sometime down the road

IIRC Emrakul turned that scroll into a spell of trapping Emrakul in the Moon, so who knows what it'll do.

What're the odds that Dominaria United means Teferi finally unfucks his hometown from time and space, only for Tamiyo to just nuke it?

I'd bet on her casting it to get the big win for Phyrexia, but Teferi sacrifices himself to undo the spell/restore Dominaria and in doing so brings back Zhalfir.

Full circle.

Dominaria produces a lot of planeswalkers, was directly responsible for the defeat of old Phyrexia, and Karn is from there. I'm sure they at least want to check the box.

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

The Phyrexians are going to release Emrakul, its going to eat Dominaria, and the multiverse will reset, now with better brand integration.

Probably not this, but I believe in a Magic comic from last year, some fish cult Simic people bounced a telepathic signal off of Jace's brain or something and Marit Lage's iceberg tomb is now floating towards Ravnica like a comet.

As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may exile any number of red cards from your hand. This spell costs 2 less for each card exiled this way.

Exile X cards from the top of your library. You may play up to two of them until your next turn.

It’s really good. Just like all removal in legacy, it’s meta dependent though.

Move over, Prismatic Ending!
It exiles Saga, Ornithopter, Memnite, Tokens and Dryad Arbor for 1 (two of those cards are lands!)
It exiles Ragavan, DRC, Kroxa and Wrenn if you pitch solitude to it.
And in the late game you can just pay the X!
And it's an instant.

Card's a sicko banger.

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.

I love how good this card is in general, but I especially love how good this card is as a player on the draw in a game. Let’s you proactively deal with your opponent’s mana advantage.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
I suspect Tamiyo is the only Phyrexian mana card we get this go around but it might be previewing Compleated as a keyword for hybrid Phyrexian mana in another set. Maybe the idea is that since hybrid can be seen as "cheaper" in some ways than costs of a single colour, Compleated cards will be easier to balance as getting them a turn earlier won't be as big. I could see Tamiyo as a 4.5cmc card.

Related - how do colour blind folk find Phyrexian mana? I know they always say the colour they represent in the text but I figure it impacts the readability, and hybrid and multicolor costs can only be worse.

I've never had a problem personally. Most color blind people learn to associate different shades with their True Colors so having the whole card be the certain color helps a bit.

It is obvious from the story about tamiyos compleation that this is gonna be a multi-set thing where a bunch of sets have one phyexian planeswalker. Probably culminating in a set on new phyrexia where the keyword is a main mechanic (but oh lord do i hope not we do not need another set with phyrexian mana as a main focus)
