Following the Origins Prerelease where my wife got the promo Liliana, Heretical Healer  , I helped her build a 60 card deck. However, we both enjoy playing EDH, and she had dreams of building an EDH deck for Liliana. This is the result.

It includes sac outlets in order to transform Liliana without relying on the opponent. Also has card draw because of her +2 anti-card-advantage. I also went along the line of zombie tribal with some demons and other Liliana flavour.

One of the combos I fear most in the deck: Fleshbag Marauder + Lilana's Emblem. Have the marauder sac itself repeatedly and all your opponents' creatures become yours very quickly.

The deck's goals:

1) Card draw since Liliana causes a lot of discard.

2) Seek to destroy opponents' creatures and force them to discard cards.

3) Protect Liliana with creatures and try to get her emblem.

2019 saw some further refinement.

Incoming: Death Baron, Murderous Riderfoil, Custodi Lich, Liliana, Untouched By Death, Zombie Master, Witch's Cottage.

Outgoing: Shadows of the Past, Elbrus, the Binding Blade  Flip, Indulgent Tormentor, Kothophed, Soul Hoarder, Creeping Dread, Swamp.

There is a bit of a theme to these changes. The incoming cards increase the focus on the zombie tribal aspect of the deck. The outgoing cards include several which have been in here since the beginning (just after Origins released) but have shown themselves to be unable to carry their share of the weight. Despite the demons being flavourful for a deck about Liliana (especially Kothophed) the need to streamline and focus the deck some more is just outweighing these few. In Kothophed's specific case it also turns out he is really bad to have around if someone else has Smothering Tithe (which is one of the most must-have white cards currently).
