Liesa is a value engine that brings back creatures and interaction to keep your opponents in check and slow down their game plans. The deck wants to get Liesa out asap and just start grinding away at board states. Recursion can help keep her on the board if she's removed, and aristocrats can be used to keep your life healthy.

If you need to close out the game, the combos to go for are:

Reivallark + Karmic Guide + Sac Outlet= Use Karmic Guide to bring Reivallark back. Sac Karmic Guide, then sac Reveillark to bring back Karmic Guide and something else, then when Karmic Guide ETBs, bring back Reveillark. This results in infinite deaths and if there's a 2 cost creature in your graveyard, then you get that effect infinitely too.

Fiend Hunter + Karmic Guide + Sac Outlet= Same thing as Reveillark but if Reveillark is gone for some reason, then Fiend Hunter also works to infinitely flicker Karmic Guide. Just use Fiend Hunter to exile Karmic Guide while it's on the field. Then sacrifice Fiend Hunter which brings back Karmic Guide which will bring back Fiend Hunter to exile Karmic Guide again.

Leonin Relic Warder + Reanimate Dead + sac engine= Reanimate Relic Warder, then use Relic Warder's ETB to exile Reanimate dead which creates a sacrifice trigger. You can sacrifice Relic Warder to the sac engine while the trigger is on the stack. Results in Infinite deaths and sac effects.

A special note here is that Buried Alive becomes an extremely convenient wincon. There are 4 pieces you need to win: Reveillark/Fiend Hunter, Karmic Guide, a sac engine, and an aristocrat. If you have 1 of these pieces, then you can use Buried Alive to get the other 3.

If you have anything that can reanimate and a sac engine in hand, then you can grab Reveillark, Karmic Guide, and an Aristocrat to win the game. From there, use the reanimator to bring back Reveillark, sacrifice Reveillark to bring back Karmic Guide and the aristocrat. When Karmic ETBs then bring back Reveillark.
