The only real downside I can see to her is her abysmal toughness.
That, and there's a glaring lack of abilities that let you put RB tokens into play in just those two colors, so to fully benefit from her ability you're pretty much forced to sacrfice nontoken creatures, which is an even bigger problem in Commander format unless you run cards like Splinter Twin.

@goldbones By what you're saying it sounds like your thinking you can sacrifice one creature to pay two seperate costs, it simply doesn't work like that(otherwise why not tap one mana for two abilities/spells?). Its an awesome card what you talking about.

Of the four EDH decks I have, this is probably my least effective, at the moment, but my favorite. Waiting for my lifeline and leyline of the void...

@Tezz: that should be very interesting, at least...! :P
I've always thought quite counter-intuitive that in the guild with hellbent, she let you draw cards, but I think that it's the best effect overall... She can be quite destructive, if used properly!
4/5

Laurelle, thanks for the great idea! :D
R/B and B/G have both had pretty heavy sacrifice themes in the past and I've been attracted to what a Jund-FLAVORED deck would like mechanically for a while now. I now definitely am going to make a
Savra/Lyzolda deck that casts Thromok the Insatiable to win! :D
I have nothing against Bloodbraid Elf, but she's an Elf. I am always going to think of Elves as belonging to decks about life more than decks about death, unless they are {B}/x Elves, so Bloodbraid Elf just isn't what I think when I think of Jund. I know that sounds weird but it's the Vorthos in me. Bloodbraid Elf to me should be in a deck with Knight of New Alara.
Jund is cool because it's kind of about life AND death, and just in general feels....'meaty'? But Bloodbraid Elf just isn't nearly black enough to belong as much as, say, Ghave, Ghuru of Spores even though he's 'off-color'. Bloodbraid is like, PERFECT for Gruul though! :D

Lyzolda isn't exactly a good card but it IS fun with e.g. Ball Lightning, Mogg Fanatic, Dark Confidant, Ashenmoor Gouger, Demigod of Revenge... Anything that runs good on its own gets a nice little boost from Lyzolda.

I just love sexy Lyzolda...i'd do her for sure... and she likes wat i like too, killing and burning others from the blood of other puny creatures...I run her in my black-red deck with Kaervek the Merciless, his boyfriend...
