I'm pretty underwhelmed by the new Tamiyo
I'd rather Cube with Sarkhan Unbroken tbh

But why? His ultimate is virtually useless. His - ability can be found in cooler ways (ie Dragonmaster Outcast). His + ability is.. Draw a card, ramp from 5->7 on T6? I dunno, I have no real love for Hippie Sarkhan. He feels explicitly midrange goodstuff. Tamiyo is a bunch of strong creature-control style tools, with a super exciting ult. I can't help but feel like I would pick her and warp my deck around her, whereas Sarkhan falls easily to 3-5c goodstuff and doesn't really do anything very spicy.
I don't know about you guys, but new Tamiyo is definitely good for 2/13ths of a slot in my cube.
I think new Lilli is amazing. Cheap, protects herself, draws cards and fills your graveyard. Very excited.
Also excited about the new spirit that's just been spoiled:
Selfless Soul W1 - Rare
Creature - Spirit (Cleric?)
Flying
Sacrifice ~ : Creatures you control gain indestructible until end of turn
2/1
Amazing new pegasus beats!

New Lilli sadly isn't a madness enabler 
(Which, I guess, is appropriate considering the story)
(Which, I guess, is appropriate considering the story)New Lili is okay if your cube is graveyard-oriented, but she falls in a kind of uncharted, aggro-ish place, in my perspective. Her +1 defends herself, that's true, but I think it's best for busting open defensive lines; this plays well with the -2, which helps keeps creatures stocked in your hand as you tear through the opponent's defenses with suicidal swings, with the caveat of playing significantly worse in spells-y control decks (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). Her ultimate is really pushing the "fair" side of the spectrum, taking 4 turns to start belching zombies all over the board; completely acceptable, but not exactly something to write home about, acting as a sort of Assemble the Legion effect, except way more "surely-this-will-grind-me-to-victory-right?" due to the emblem status.
Overall, I find it a little odd that we now have 3 3-mana Lilianas, though I guess I appreciate them pushing Planeswalkers more freely around the curve and exploring lower-powered abilities to compensate. That said, while I dig Miss Lil's look here and the overall theme she's offering, I'm not sure if I actually like her more than Liliana of the Veil, or even Liliana, Heretical Healer. I've excused Liliana, Heretical Healer because she's a creature some portion of the time, and if I cut one of them, it'd most likely be her; considering this, I think it seems kinda strange to consider running 2 straight-up planeswalkers.
quick aside: Selfless Soul looks neat, though perhaps a little ruder than I want for my creature decks. I'm not sure I wanna break wrath symmetry like that in white, though I'm certainly tempted.
More importantly:
YAS QWEEN

(Someone probably reads german on here ya?)
Escalate 1:
-Each player discards their hand, then draws that many cards
-4 to a creature
-3 to an opponent
I'd recently slotted in Exquisite Firecraft to be a sort of red sorcery hero's downfall that can go to the face, and I'm probably making the lazy swap to this.
I think new Lili is equally at home in GY agro, for all the reasons RBM says, and in creature control (GB, RB?) where the plus really does become damage control, and the minus becomes important advantage for recurring control pieces like nekrataal and fleshbag marauder and yavimaya elder
I think she has a ton of play, and definitely will be trying her out

This is a lot of body for 5 mana. It also isn't easymode like Cloudgoat Ranger, which is cool. I'm not sure if this is exactly where I want to be at green 5, but it does something a little different then the other options.

Close! It says target player discards their hand, etc.

Finally! A decent sorcery speed Lightning Strike!
I don't care that this is Incinerate at sorcery speed, it's a start! I don't want all my red burn to be instant speed, give me more!
I love the flavor text btw

god damn I'm so happy. I usually get excited when wotc prints cards I've already made up, but it's been a while since I've seen one I should have made up a long time ago
Ja ja, Deutsch!

Oh jeez, it's much better than Incinerate! I am officially happy
For the record, there's currently an

Holy shit, I'm cubing that for the flavor text alone. Now, do I replace Incinerate or Pillar of Flame?
Okay. This or Arbor Colossus?

There is in mine too, but it always kinda felt out of place. The exile clause was important enough and the 4 damage was important enough that it felt like a lot of key aspects that red needed all on the same spell, even though the card itself isn't really broken.
I actually like magma spray a whole lot, so prob incinerate.
