Question Can Liliana Vess be played with Liliana of the Viel. They are technically not the same Planeswalker (yes same person but not same card). I have heard a similar question before with can you play both Jace Beleren and Jace the Mindsculptor at the same time as they aren't the same Jace card. With that other question no one managed to actually answer it. I haven't managed to find rules against this yet.

I honestly can't fathom her price tag, but I'm not the type to pay 40 for one magic card. Her first two abiliities are all you really need her for. Her ultimate's good, but not good enough to worth chucking 3 cards and not making your opponent sac anything. But alternating between the first two abilities with some proliferate or whatever can lock an opponent down while they're trying to stabilize, and you can use that advantage to get ahead and beat them down.

Where I live, my opponents fear her. I put together a Standard "Sunburst" deck using Gideon, Jace, Chandra, 2 Relentless, and Liliana . . . they would opt to remove her first before the others. To be able to use her ultimate is such a rush to see your opponent just sit there and watch as I divide what they got. It's better to activate it as soon as possible, believe me.

High maintenance woman. She is now $175 foil at a store by my house.

Seems pretty good, and her cost and initial loyalty resembles Jace Beleren. Her plus' and minus' aren't, for better of worse.
I do have to say, however, I like the ultimate ability. You can use it in conjunction with Liliana Vess, make them sacrifice all the creatures (if they choose the right pile) then resurrect them.
I'd say, this is a decent improvement to Do or Die. Instead of just creatures, you can target permenants, however, Liliana costs 1 more, and has to take at least 2 more turns after that to use the effect.

I will say right now that I will not be in the least bit surprised if she breaks $50 that's how much of an effect she has on the board as soon as she comes out, (which could be turn 1 in formats with dark ritual,) especially being safe from incinerate. I think she could make monoblack in standard turn 3 her turn 4 Phyrexian Obliterator . Also great with Vengeful Pharaoh, Bloodgift Demon, and everything's good with Grave Titan. 5/5

It's not as insane as other planeswalkers which can win the game 4 u, but it's pretty nice regardless + the artwork is... hot?
ps: Ferlord, thar would be complicated as u can't have both liliana's on the battlefield simultaneously

Nobody's pointed out that she's the first planeswalker you can drop turn 1 with Dark Ritual? She is probably breakable, for that reason alone.

Won a foil in my second round yesterday...
Absolutely in love with her.
Tell Master of the Veil he can shove it.
Aside from the obvious aesthetic appeal, I think she's a very solid, aggressive walker. If I play black next standard it'll be for her <3
