What the Amonkhet Liliana deck should have been
5 years ago
The developers at wizards crossed the minus one minus one counter theme between red, black and green which is why The Scorpion God was black and red. This is also seen on cards such as Soul-Scar Mage and Merciless Javelineer.

Hey guys I'm new to the forum and returning to Magic from a long break. The last set that came out before I gave it up was the Urzas set.
Anyways, out of boredom I started playing magic duels on my Xbox and then reconnected with some of my old friends who still play magic. I'd like to get a paper version of the my favorite deck from duels but am so out of touch with the game I'm not even sure what's out there. The format is pretty casual, but from what I can tell most of the decks my friends use would likely fall into modern format, but there are also some really old cards too, so im pretty flexible as far as sets I can use. Lastly I'd like to keep this fairly budget, I like the game but am not sure I'm ready to sink real money into it yet... and yes I realize that means the the liliana in the deck list has to come out.
The main thing I like about this deck is the interaction between the ruthless snipers, the various discard enablers and the madness mechanic. So I'm hoping you all could make some suggestions to take further advantage of that. I realize some cards in there aren't great but they're what i have available on the video game.
2 Cryptbreaker, 3 Ruthless Sniper, 2 Sanitarium Skeleton, 2 Lightning Axe, 3 Furyblade Vampire, 2 Call the Bloodline, 2 Macabre Waltz, 1 avacyn's judgement, 2 Distemper of the Blood, 3 Bloodmad Vampire, 1 Olivia, Mobilized for War, 4 firey temper , 1 Liliana, the Last Hope, 1 Avaricious Dragon, 2 Bloodhall Priest, 2 Merciless Javelineer, 1 Biting Rain, 1 Cut / Ribbons, 2 Horror of the Broken Lands, 1 Incorrigible Youth,
9 swamp, 9 mountain, 2 Dragonskull Summit, 2 Geier Reach Sanitarium,

I actually haven't really considered Tenacious Hunter yet. I am looking for a good card for the 4-mana slot, so now I have that and Merciless Javelineer. I'll be playing around with all of the cards and see what fits the deck well. Tenacious Hunter does definitely seem powerful, will basically always have its added abilities.

Correction, you just accounted for all that... nice!
May I suggest Ruthless Sniper, you might have already though about him, but he definitely fits your theme and gives you a solid 1 drop. He also gives you a second interaction with discard/cycle, cause otherwise you're relying a Ifnir alone.
Second thought, I might suggest Merciless Javelineer, as he offers evasion, provides discard, and throws down counters at the enemy. He is however, a 4 drop and is red. Just a thought.

I once debated someone about pronouns used for Eldrazi Titans, with someone insisting I should use "she" instead of "it" for Emrakul (Emrakul, the Aeons Torn). It's a fricking alien monster that spawns offspring. We don't assign gender to rocks or microbes. If it doesn't reproduce sexually it's not a gender. That's the only gender thing that annoyed me. I figure most other creatures and races we see do make babies.
I do however find it odd for Leonin females to have 2 breasts indicating they don't have litters (Kemba, Kha Regent). So would a female Minotaur have her breast plate down low on her abdomen? Is it a single breast plate for her udders (Merciless Javelineer)? Do female Merfolk give live birth? If they don't lactate then why have breasts (Kiora, the Crashing Wave)? These are the questions that need answering! :P
