Beware the Mistress of Death, Liliana Vess!

One of the most powerful and dangerous planeswalkers to ever travel the realms, Liliana is a force to be reckoned with ! So, behold the Liliana Tribal EDH Deck, complete with Zombie minions, forceful sacrifice and discard effects, and planeswalkers galor! So, welcome, and see what's in store...

Helmed by the infamous Liliana Vess... err, well, kinda... Actually, this deck is led by Liliana, Heretical Healer  , the creature Liliana, whose spark will soon ignite during an explosively dark game of EDH/ Commander. Anyway...

This deck is fairly straightforward, especially if you understand who Liliana is (at least to some capacity). You shall play as Liliana, Queen and Master of the dead, and one of the most powerful and ancient planeswakers within the multiverse. Join her on her journey, as you punish your foes and raise the dead, crushing those who oppose you under your heal, shortly before resurrecting their corpses to join your ever-growing undead legion. Before long, only the loyal dead will stand before you...

Make your opponents discard their resources, sacrifice their own creatures, and build up your undead for an all-out assault, kicking off the Zombie Apocalypse. Or, instead, strengthen yourself, and use Liliana's ultimate power to bring your opponents to their knees. Torment and destroy your opponents, that is your mission...

Requirements for the Deck (non-negotiable)

  1. This deck must contain all Liliana Planeswalkers, and exclude all others!

  2. The Deck must fit the flavor and theme as best as it can! (Discard, Sacrifice, Graveyard)

  3. It should be fun to play!

So, play along and see how Liliana shall end the conflict this time. And if you have any recommendations or thoughts, let me know. Just keep the three "Rules" for the deck in mind when you submit recommendations! And, below, are links to some other decks of mine you might be interested in!

Finally, a sad word: Young Necromancer is no longer with us. Maybe she will return in the future, but she has since been kicked to the MaybeBoard. She fits so well with the deck, but isn't very strong... I really want to re-add her one day.

So, here are some of my other decks you could take a look at, if you liked this one:

  1. Shortly before constructing this deck, I created my masterpiece: A Chandra-Tribal Mono-Red Deck! It's similar in design to this one, with some obvious differences... So, here it is, the original: Chandra Tribal (Everyone's Here!)

  2. This is lesser-known, but I created a quick outline for a Gideon-Tribal mono-white deck. It's not as good, and not very refined since I don't have it physically built, but you can check it out if you want. So, behold, the second spin-off/sequel: Gideon Tribal (Everyone's Here!)

  3. My newest masterpiece that isn't a Planeswalker tribal deck is similar only in the fact that it focuses on theme and flavor, rather than power. I have a Street Fighter Jeskai deck. The link: Ultimate Street Fighter 6: Super Tabletop Edition

The Phyrexian Update — May 9, 2023
Edit

Welcome back, everyone, to my Liliana Tribal Deck!!! It's been a while since I updated this deck, and a few new cards and/or reprints got be excited to work on this once again! Of course, those new cards/reprints aren't the only things that changed here... no siree... So, without further ado, here are the changes, and below them are my quick explanations:

  1. Removed Confront the Past (wait, what?), added Phyrexian Crusader

  2. Removed Endless Atlas, added Staff of Compleation

  3. Removed Ancient Tomb, added Phyrexian Tower

  4. Removed Nyx Lotus, added Phyrexian Altar

  5. Removed Grim Tutor, added Liliana's Talent (Flavor of the Month)

  6. Removed Corpse Harvester, added Diregraf Colossus

  7. Removed Zombie Master, added Plague Belcher (again?!)

  8. Removed Relentless Dead, added Apprentice Necromancer

  9. Removed Putrid Goblin, added Graveborn Muse

  10. Updated Liliana, the Last Hope's art.

So, quickly, I thought I removed Confront the Past in a prior update, but I guess I put it back in for another chance. Turns out that I was right and that it should've been removed. It feels dead 90% of the time, unfortunately, so it's cut. Replacing it is Phyrexian Crusader, a card that I've wanted for a long time for the deck and never aquired. Someone I met at a local gamestore had one for trade thanks to the secret lair version, so I managed to get my hands on it.

Endless Atlas was a great card, but I felt that Staff of Compleation is so much better and more versatile. Card draw, mana, proliferate, and 'sacrifice' on a single artifact?! Count me in. To go along with the need for sacrifice, I added Phyrexian Tower and sold off my Ancient Tomb. Didn't really feel like I needed the extra colorless at the cost of two life. Likewise, I finally got my hands on a Phyrexian Altar for the deck as well, and gave up Nyx Lotus for it.

Finally, aside from the art change at the end, I switched out a number of zombies in the deck. I added Diregraf Colossus, Apprentice Necromancer, and Graveborn Muse to the deck, and re-added Plague Belcher, as it seemed to be another card that was taken out since my last update, for some unknown reason. Zombie Master's swampwalk felt irrelevant to the way I play/run my deck, Corpse Harvester seemed cool but was way too slow, and Putrid Goblin was literally only added as a combo with Mikaeus, so they got the boot from the deck. Relentless Dead, upon reflection, seemed to not do enough most of the time, so I am giving it a nice retirement.

I almost forgot. Something I've been doing recently is something I like to call "Flavor of the Month". It's when I find a cool new card I'd like to try out, but am unsure if it'll stick around in the deck. For Liliana Tribal, I wanted to give Liliana's Talent a try, so here it is, replacing Grim Tutor for the time being. It's great flavor for the deck, and offers a nice incentive to not haphazardly swing creatures are one of my planeswalkers.

And those are the updates for the deck! I hope you like the changes!
