Hello Fedizens! I'm looking to buy a present for someone whose favorite character from Magic the gathering is Tamiyo. I don't know anything about magic the gathering and was told not to buy cards. Could anyone recommend any artists that make merchandise for the game, specifically Tamiyo?

@noondlyt Thank you so much. I can guess what a playmat is what exactly is a deck box?
@noondlyt Ok I thought the sleeves would be easy. There are so many different kinds. This is going to be really hard. I was semi hoping for a T-shirt with a picture of Tamiyo on it lol
@Star12Mt @noondlyt I would avoid sleeves, because there's a lot of personal preference in how slippery versus frictiony you want, and the ones with art printed on them tent to not be very good compared to the flat coloured ones
(Ex when I played I liked KMC Hypermat same avoided Dragonshields, but most people were the other way)
@Star12Mt @noondlyt that could work if your friend is into tshirts.
If you're worried about which art, Tamiyo the Moon Sage was her first appearance, I think, so a good default. Otherwise, just pick the art you think they'd like best.
Deck box would be for storing a deck, since magic players typically have multiple decks.
For sleeves, be sure to check the reviews. Some fall apart immediately. DragonShield is a good brand.
If you're get sleeves or a box, be sure it can accommodate 100 cards
@Artemis201 @noondlyt Thank you for all of the above. He did say he thinks there's no merchandise for Tamiyo. Maybe I could commission an artist to do a shirt? Also, is that character played in a certain game like Reality Fracture? I guess I didn't realize magic the gathering also encompassed the hobbit and Star Wars. The more I look up the more confused I become 🫠
@Star12Mt @Artemis201 @noondlyt So there's traditional magic, and then they've very recently expanded it with products called universes. beyond that add-in card s from outside the existing setting.
Tamyio is from the main setting, so you don't need to worry about anything called universes beyond
@Star12Mt @Artemis201 @noondlyt I asked @WizardOfDocs And he recommends an art print from one of the artists who has drawn Tamiyo
@Canageek @Star12Mt @Artemis201 @noondlyt my first choice would be the art for Tamiyo, Seasoned Scholar; the artist is among Magic's best

Limited edition playmat (note: significantly more expensive):

@Canageek @Star12Mt @Artemis201 @noondlyt if you want to look deeper, here's a list of nearly all the cards with Tamiyo in their art:
https://scryfall.com/search?q=%28t%3Atamiyo+or+art%3Atamiyo%29+-t%3Aphyrexian&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name
a lot of Magic artists sell prints, pick one that appeals
@WizardOfDocs @Canageek @Artemis201 @noondlyt
Wow, thank you 🙏 links are always helpful. Otherwise I'm just searching blindly
