Back with some more legendofa.
Definites:
•Cabal Trainee Tentacles instead of hands, but otherwise a FPP with a reach from off camera.
•Fist of Suns (makes Thanos jealous)
Highly dubious:
•Canopy Claws if the foliage is alive and sentient, then theoretically we could be getting something close to a first person view.
•Stoic Champion nice FPP but no hands from off screen.
•Banshee's Blade maybe FPP, maybe not.
•Proteus Staff first person view and hands coming from out of frame, but the hands are part of the staff.
•Baton of Courage probably not FPP.
•Fleshgrafter probably not from the perspective of those poor hands.
•Cage of Hands the hands are disembodied so I’m not sure if you want to count it.
•No-Dachi probably not FPP.
•Soratami Mirror-Guard definitely first person, but again, no hands.

The way I play horobi is lots of targeting spells to clear the board, like Touch of Darkness and Cruel Feeding, and then a bunch of one drop targets. Aphotic Wisps Death Wind Disfigure Eye Gouge Lose Hope Tragic Slip Virulent Wound Cabal Trainee Shambling Goblin and so on. I also like Avatar of Woe, cause it's easy to get cheap with a deck like this.

I think you might have one too many boardwipes in there especially with all the tutors you have. However it could just be integral to your gameplan to only have lili on the field and it could depend on your meta. If you find it's too many I would take out either Extinguish All Hope or Crux of Fate.
I must not be getting a major part of the deck because I can't imagine why some of these sacrifice outlets to flip lili would be worth a card. Cards like Shifting Wall and Death Cultist Cabal Trainee and Bile Urchin are dead drops on an already flipped Lili as far as I can tell. Phyrexian Marauder and Endless One and Dross Hopper also seems to just exist to die. Fume Spitter seems like it might have some utility against some good cards like Lotus Cobra but it still feels weak for edh standards. Same with Heap Doll.
I'm not sure what your devotion usually is in this deck, but I can't imagine it would be enough for an effective Gray Merchant of Asphodel.
Some cards I thought of adding: Dark Prophecy. This is obviously good with all your sacrifice creatures.Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder. This guy gives you presence and fodder for your sacrifice engines.Grim Haruspex. You seem to have a lot of nontokens dying in here. This fits with that and gives you some advantage for otherwise sub-bar sacrifice abilities.Harvester of SoulsOgre SlumlordLifeline - you're liable to have your dead creatures you sacrificed to liliana return and since none of them seem to be sorcery speed you could do them every turn.Pawn of UlamogBig Game Hunter - Great with liliana's madness effect and otherwise still good.Vampire Hexmage - Better by far than Dross Hopper. Can kill planeswalkers and hydras while flipping lili at the same time. And you can always tutor for Dark Depths for an alternative win-condition.

TheSlappKake: Deathgreeter is great, thanks. However, Cabal Trainee is not worth it for one mana and one removal, as Squee's Toy and Tower of Coireall give me much more value over time. Also, Cauldron Haze is white, so I can't use it. However, thanks for Cannibalize: It's price makes it much better than Serrated Arrows, which I was considering removing.

Bovine073,
Thought you'd enjoy this ...
We've been cracking a few packs lately (over on this thread) and actually opened a Werebear!
We're had a couple others (so far!) with fun flavor text too: Overeager Apprentice and Cabal Trainee. Not sure they're better than anything on your list, but figured they were worth mentioning!

Well the packs got out of order and we didn't notice, so we opened a Judgment pack instead (guess we have to wait another day to see if we get that foil Entomb
!) ... oops!
But the good news is Pick 1 is, for the first time, our rare!
As expected from the block that introduced graveyard shenanigans to the world, the pack also had bunch of fun graveyard-matters cards: Grip of Amnesia; Rats' Feast; Funeral Pyre; and Exoskeletal Armor.
We were kind of bummed we didn't get any of the Incarnations (e.g., Genesis and Glory at rare), but we did get a bunch of interesting cards:
- Mirror Wall -- A wall that can attack?
- Phantom Centaur -- I knew of the tough-to-kill */0 Phantoms but had never seem one
- Keep Watch -- Would have been great against the Squirrel swarms of the block
- Ember Shot and Sudden Strength -- Staples like Lightning Bolt and Giant Growth + draw a card was a neat concept ... too bad it was insanely overcosted
And we also have a new pick for best flavor text of the calendar (so far!): Cabal Trainee
Tomorrow: Odyssey. For real this time! :-)
