naysayers are getting under my skin. i have 1x Liliana, Defiant Necromancer and 2x Disciple of the Ring. I was thinking of a mill/counter deck. any thoughts?
i'm just asking what type of deck i could start with and go from there

Maybe add Dissolve and Grindclock? Or you could play the infinite mill combo Midnight Guard + Ornithopter + Retraction Helix + Altar of the Brood (yea I know not a very good combo XD) Also Phenax, God of Deception + Any creature with big toughness. (Wall of Frost, Disowned Ancestor, Dragon's Eye Savants, etc)

just go with some rakdos or mardu sacrificial aggro theme, so more Liliana, Heretical Healer Flip, then some sacrifice engines like Qarsi High Priest or Butcher of the Horde, and some value graveyard creatures like Bloodsoaked Champion and Sultai Emissary and bam youve got a deck

essentially drop the Disciple of the Ring. not that good, huge mana investment, etc etc

Lilliana wants to play with lots of (cheap) creatures, Disciple wants to play with lots of spells... I dont think your deck is going to work great. Trading the Lily for more disciples and some other stuff, like Jace (who would play well with the disciples), would give you a better result in the end.

infinite mill was one part of my jeskai ascendency combo deck, hasn't been updated in a while, but feel free for ideas

Just go with Phenax, God of Deception and use creatures with fat butts to mill them out (Silumgar, the Drifting Death, Omenspeaker, Qarsi Sadist, Sidisi's Faithful, etc...). And mainboard Grindclock and 1 Tormod's Crypt for side so Amy Dragon and/or Raptor decks can't recur threats. Boom!

You could even do that and add Green for Sultai and use Assault Formation for shits and gigs

With only 1x Liliana in a deck you may have a hard time getting her at a time you like. I would suggest adding at least one more for better odds?
