Duels of the Planeswalkers - Liliana Vess

As Liliana Vess neared the limits of her human lifespan, her health and power were waning. She contacted powerful demon lords, and one dark deal later, she was restored to her height of power and beauty. Her specialty is necromantic sorcery, combined with insanity-inducing mental assaults.

The highlight of this deck is a punishing suite of discard spells, from the efficient Ravenous Rats to the boundless Mind Shatter. Whatever threats manage to enter the battlefield should be easily dispatched with spells like Terror and Consume Spirit.

Your creatures take advantage of three powerful abilities: flying, fear, and regeneration. Flying renders larger foes helpless as your forces pass by overhead. Fear, a long-time staple of black's arsenal, also makes your creatures difficult to block by infusing them with black magic so potent that only other black creatures or soulless artifact creatures dare stand in their way. Finally, regeneration allows you to manipulate death itself. For a single black mana, you can prevent the stalwart Drudge Skeletons or the predatory Mortivore from being destroyed.
