Now that she has been out for a little while I have seen plenty of deck ideas for how to use her. Most of the time I have seen her being used it usually has some sort of x spell in the deck. Now she is good for those kind of spells especially if she does happen to ultimate, but aren't there other ways to use her?
The main reason she is associated with x spells is because she can get you tons of mana and naturally those are better with more mana but aren't there other uses for having a bunch of mana? Personally I think the single best card to use with her is Griselbrand . Why Griselbrand you ask? For a multitude of reasons 1) she helps get the 4 more lands you need to hard cast him 2) with her emblem you can probably cast everything you drew from his ability. 3) probably the most relevant is she can either clear the way for him or buff him for the total amount of swamps you have and gain that much life and probably kill any opponent if they can't block it.
While it is obvious she works well with higher cost spells, what I think goes unnoticed is how well she works with stuff that costs lower then her. Having more mana means you can cast multiple small costing stuff which can be just as strong as casting one big spell.
I hope this helps stir up new ideas on how to use Liliana of the Dark Realms . I will finish this post with a question how do you think the best way to use her?
Right now just isn't her time to shine. She can work well in a mono black trading post deck but that is only when she is on the field at the same time. You wouldn't want more than a copy or 2 in your deck because she cancels out Liliana of the Veil . I think she will be an all-star for decks once RTR comes around with its shocks. This is the sole purpose I have also bought my playset of her. If all else fails and she is in fact, crap in standard once rtr comes by, she will still always be a fine 1 of in my mono black Ob Nixilis, the Fallen edh deck.

check out my deck deck:of-goats-and-demons i try using her to do exactly that, but she also isn't the main focus of the deck either.
