Liliana, Heretical Healer Recursion
Asked by Baltec 10 years ago
I was wondering how this card worked with her own Emblem.
I believe the word "dies" means "is put into the graveyard from the battlefield" so I don't believe she can be reanimated from the command zone but I was wondering if she could reanimate herself if I allow her to go to the graveyard instead.
Also, can she reanimate herself if she died while she was a planeswalker as it wasn't necessarily a creature dying, although I believe she has the creature type while in the graveyard.
Any help is much appreciated.

Some more detail on 2: "Dies" triggers are a special kind of "leaves the battlefield" trigger, and LTB triggers use information from the last moment the triggering object was on the battlefield to determine if and how they trigger. If Liliana was a planeswalker at the last moment she was on the battlefield then the emblem won't trigger from her going to the graveyard.

This is a double faced card. All DFCs have at all times the properties of the face that is currently up.
1/ Yes.
She has no interaction with the commandzone. If another copy of Lili Healer died while the emblem was up, the emblem's ability would trigger and her own "dies" ability will not trigger, since it requires another dude to die. So you will simply return Lili Healer back to your field.
2/ No.
For all intents and purposes, if she is a planeswalker, the game will always see her as a planeswalker. DFCs always have the characterics of whateverever face is currently up.
Finally, I would wait for the official release notes to be 100% sure on those.
