Tweaking powerlevel —July 20, 2020

Removed: - Cathars' Crusade

Added: - Liliana, Dreadhorde General

Sometimes when tuning you overshoot your goal. The deck has been winning a lot recently and a lot of winning lines involve getting Cathars’ Crusade out and making your army (infinitely) big. Quite boring. On top of that another infinite combo reared it’s ugly head: Ayara, Darkest Hour, Teysa, Yawgmoth and Crusade in play means every creature you sac through Yawgmoth, giving Teysa -1/-1, getting a (black) spirit, Crusade nullifies the -1/-1 counter, Ayara drains for one. Repeat. Cumbersome, yes. Still boring. Removing crusade makes the lines less obvious again and thus more interesting.

Liliana has some weakness as I described in the comments (high cost, planeswalker, sacrificing 2 creatures is often not enough). It’s also a fun card so since the aim of the change is to dampen the power a bit, we have room for some fun cards
