To n00bmag1's point, I once had Iona, Shield of Emeria in hand, then used Liliana's tutor ability to find a Rise from the Grave. Next turn, discarded Iona and brought her back using Rise from the Grave. My opponent scooped. Love Liliana's combo potential.

Let's not forget the original tutor, Demonic Tutor (which got a reprint with Liliana on it in her Duel Deck, sweet!)
So yea, black is the originator of the tutor effect so her second ability IS black. I have yet to use her ultimate, but her biggest ability was her tutoring to get me cards I wanted. Card advantage is an underrated, but very important aspect of the game and having a permanent that can let you get the exact card you want when you need it is a huge advantage.

Great, solid planeswalker. I'm not really much of a black player, but this would be a fun planeswalker to run!

I already have a deadly blue black mill discard deck. Add her and Jace. Holy balls.

I just use her to tutor cards. for 5 mana and +1 turn, she can cast 3 tutors :D if not, 5 mana for 2 tutors isn't such a bad deal imo.

This card in a black discard deck is totally devastating! :)
If your opponent has nothing to discard, tutor for something that will help you more.
Also combos well with both versions of her boyfriend, Jace.

Really, she's good. 5 mana is a little high, especially considering like every good planeswalker is a 4-drop, but at least it's not 6 like Sorin Markov.
This is how you play her:
1) Cast Liliana
2) Tutor
3) Tutor
4) Make them discard
5) Tutor; Liliana is dead, but you just got 3 cards that you needed. With three chosen cards from your deck, you really shouldn't have any problem with winning unless you were getting spanked to begin with.
