I know that this can be considered a good planeswalker because it can defend itself, give card advantage, and comes out earlier than the other Liliana Vess.

I just feel a little unhappy with this one. The other lili was just so much more epic. Also, I am not a fan of her Innistrad apparel.

Behold the new queen of Magic, and not just Standard, mind you. The new Liliana is appearing on everything, from the title screen for Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 (in which she has a killer deck) to the boxes included with Innistrad Fat Packs and even on the front page for magicthegathering.com. Liliana Vess has literally taken over all things Magic. Truly, the new dominant force in the Multiverse, at least until Bolas decides to get off his ancient ass.

EDIT: Oh shit! Bolas IS getting off his ass! For the 2013 Core Set! FFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-!!!

Love the card mechanically, will definitely play it, but not sold on the artwork. Her pose is so weird and the tilted perspective seems pretty unnecessary. Also it's really easy to miss the veil here since it's being covered up by that fire in her hand. Why not have her wear the veil when the card's name features it? And why aren't her marks glowing? I thought they were supposed to glow when she casts spells. Presumably the fire in her hands come from a spell.

Up to this date I had never ever owned a single Plainswalker nor a foil rare. So, today me and my friend opened and shared one booster box... Out of the 18 I opened I got this card, and in the next booster there was Garruk Relentless, in the next a _foil_ mayor of avabruck, and in the next a _foil_ Geist of Saint Traft.

Damn.

Opened it in my second Innistrad booster. First Mythic I ever opened. I knew she was good, but definetly not worth her hideously high price at the time, so I immediately sold her for a big bunch of boosters. I don't regret it at all - first because her price now has halved and I got Army of the Damned, Past in Flames, Mayor of Avabruck, Heartless Summoning and a foil Splinterfright, and second because of my Vorthos reasoning: it's what Liliana herself would have wanted me to do in that situation. I got a nice deal for myself and she probably got paired with a player who had the resources necessary to build a kick-ass deck with her.

Pulled one of these and two Snapcaster Mages in a fat pack last week.I like this version of liliana better (mainly because of the

cost), but defintly NOT worth the $59.99 price tag.

Way to gouge SCG/ChannelFireball. Heres to hoping THAT goes down...

I'm still deciding on what deck to stick her in (most likely UB Control/Mill combo), but I finally managed to play a game with her when I lucked out during draft during FNM. Very useful when she comes up (largely fulfills the B, R, and A of Limited), but she definitely needs backup. There are a lot of ways to get rid of her.

@Lifegainwithbite, where did you get that he was generalizing. Last time I checked, he talks about a b!tch. You know, no? I think we can all relate with @h8yuns' furry for uncontrolled recklessness. And as far as I'm concerned when she enters the battlefield, she really is a b!tch to deal with. Great card. 4.5/5

Steve Argyle is like Liliana's personal artist. All the best art of her is done by Argyle. It's like Jason Chan and Jace.

I think it goes without saying that Liliana of the Veil is the second best planeswalker ever printed. And the numbers and stats show this to be true. The artwork just puts this card over the top. Not withstanding the card that should never have seen print, she IS the most powerful planeswalker in the Magic universe. Period. Her value will only increase.

It should cost BBB, just because she's the absolute darkness.

Very good Planeswalker.

The card discarded with Liliana's +1 does not give Lotleth Troll a +1/+1 counter. The discard is forced due to the planeswalker's ability; you have no option to discard that card to pay the cost of Troll's activated ability.
