Liliana Origins EDH General?
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on June 4, 2015, 12:58 p.m. by CheeseBro
Do you guys think the new liliana coming out in origins will be used in EDH as a general? What decks/themes would she go with? What do you guys think?

I think she can be good. Zombie tribal is a flavorful hit. Sacrifice decks love her (Just sac a token and flip). Benefitting from her Plus ability (like Waste Not) is pretty good too. Liliana seems to be a Jack (Jill?) of all trades, (possibly?) master of none.

...and yes, I will build her deck and make it so flavorful that Vorthosi everywhere will be rendered speechless. I love what they did to the Origins 5.

Phaetion, she requires nontoken creatures.
Also, she's likely to go into Athreos EDH's and have her own TL line. (I might get her just for that)

Oh...oops. Slight setback. Just sac a Bloodghast instead.

If I pull one she may replace Sheoldred, Whispering One as commander in my black edh

Hi. I'm here to say hello and poof: Lili's Revelation.
Had the deck since she was spoiled. Made it within 2 days and I've been tweeking ever since.

I'll build Lili when I get my hands on her. I can't wait for the day I do.

She'll probably find a slot somewhere in the 99 in my Marchesa, the Black Rose build. My stuff can, does and WILL die all day long, and her two minus effects are great for me, the +2 helps me keep combo/control decks in check.

She and Teysa are going to be BFFs in my EDH deck for sures

Wait... This means Elspeth, Sorin, and Liliana are all going to be sharing space in one of my decks...

Well, I won't use her as my general but I'm picking up a copy for my Teysa, Orzhov Scion EDH.

Honestly, someone will use her as the commander. It never fails that someone, somewhere will do crazy crap because why not?
Now, I do think she's a halfway viable option. The deck will look a lot like a Gisa goodstuff/zombie tribal, but she's definitely halfway viable.
Fun fact: a friend of mine laughed for a solid half hour when he saw her because he plays a Cleric tribal EDH and has played Clerics since he started.
