Sacrifices must be made.

To start this off, I've always been fascinated with Liliana in the stories lore for a long time. Being a main player I already had some background on how she works. This deck runs on 2 major mechanics, discarding and sacrificing. I run drawing engines that allow me to draw more than what I discard plus most creatures have the abilities to come back from the graves. This commander fully utilizes Liliana, Defiant Necromancer for most discards and recursion!

Our Plans:

Take control of the board:

Carrion Feeder (Or any other sac outlet) + Gravecrawler + Dictate of Erebos (Or any card just like it)

Magus of the Abyss / The Abyss + Ophiomancer / Bitterblossom

Take control of their hands:

Liliana, Heretical Healer   is a huge part of this (So is Bottomless Pit and Necrogen Mists ) Add any card draw like Geth's Grimoire and Anvil of Bogardan to negate any discard for you.

Sadistic Hypnotist + Gravecrawler (And any zombie in this deck)

End game:

Gray Merchant of Asphodel / Kokusho, the Evening Star + Hell's Caretaker (Or any other means of recursion)

Blasting Station + Phyrexian Altar + Gravecrawler

No Breaks, Not Even For The Dead:

Who Said You Can Rest? Fall Back Into Line!
