Jeremiah_Von_Pringleton Often times It's a very dangerous card. I used to have it in there. Because I have a reanimator theme, my grave gets bombed pretty often. In addition, I dump utility non-creatures into my grave.

All this means is my opponents got more value off Living Death than I do. I'd rather run Decree of Pain.

MAGESTIC_LLAMA the only edict effect I've considered is Barter in Blood but I can't find room for it.

How broken would a tiny leaders deck be with the new lily as the general? I think it would be pretty good. Any estimates at how much she's gonna cost?

I have no idea on price. The issues with TL is flipping her.

I've actually started a TL list:

Lilli the Leader

So then How is it your commander ** Tappedout

The system on Tapped out doesn't filter the card that's selected for your general.

The real general for the deck is the new Liliana, the one from Origins (like I said in the description).

Liliana, heretical Healer isn't in the card system yet, so, Liliana of the Veil is a place holder.

At first I thought I was being trolled.

Seems like you have a pretty fun meta going on. What about Grave Pact? Since you're causing them to sac anyway.

Slaughter Pact is a fun destroy creature card.

I really like your deck, it looks very well honed.

I'd rather run Malicious Affliction in place of slaughter pact.

and I used to have grave pact in there, but was underwhelming. I never really did anything. I might try it again though. The deck's changed a lot since then.

Unlike the rest of my decks, this deck is meant to be cutthroat and so it's been honed to be the best it can be, or so I hope.

+1! Love the idea! Though I want to know, what do you think about Champion of Stray Souls? It can reanimate en masse (although he can be a mana-sink) and combo effectively with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Ghoulcaller Gisa's tokens. Its high CMC and costed abilities can be prohibitive (not to mention, no haste), but seeing it in action is very daunting.

The sheer number of pieces needed to make that combo work kinda turns me off to the idea. Plus I'm not a fan of champion on its own.

How about Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon? He's a good win-con, can have haste, is hard to block, and is regeneratable!

I wouldn't say he's hard to block but still. Skittles is a good idea.

Any idea what to remove?

I noticed that you mentioned you're not running Imperial Seal because it's really expensive well then you'll probably want Vampiric Tutor Which is a lot better and is an instant so you can do it at the end of someone elses turn or something.

Still think this deck looks really good.

Vamp tutor is a little out of my budget right now. $30 for a tutor that top decks is a little steep. I do intend to get it though.

I've been thinking of building around Lili as well (but closer to Origin's release), so you have given me a few ideas. Might I suggest Nim Deathmantle to go alongside the Altars?

And a note on Imperial Seal: I see you are running Liliana Vess, but not Vampiric Tutor (which I recommend, by the way). I'd argue that there are others more superior than the Seal. Vampiric is better than it because it's instant speed. Seal is Sorcery speed, which can be an issue (There's another like it, Cruel Tutor, but it's the worst of the bunch for obvious reasons).

I would say that if you have Vampiric and Vess, why need the Seal in the first place (other than pimping the deck out)? This is just my take on the matter. Bottom line is that I'd consider Vampiric Tutor before going for Imperial Seal.

I intend to pick up a Vamp tutor. Any suggestions on what to cut?
