You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
I kinda wish the art in this card was the guy from the original Macabre Waltz artwork doing the waltz with Liliana. Still, I guess Liliana helping a zombie shake off its vigor mortis will do.
The original Macabre Waltz has always been one of my favorite pieces of mtg art. This one isn't quite as good as that classic, however I do love it! I can't wait to get one for my Liliana collection!
Also, as many have said already, it seems to have real potential for Delerium and/or Madness limited decks, which is also quite exciting.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
I could see in a standard Madness deck. to return to creatures and drop a Madness card is quite good. Biggest problem here is that Madness decks is likely going to be more aggro and won't really be able to make use of the return effect. Maybe a slower madness deck could use this though?
Good reprint choice! I really hope Tormenting Voice get reprinted in this set too
Doubtful. Voice was reprinted in both KTK and DTK, and Wizards RARELY ever reprints cards past two blocks that were back to back. So enjoy it while you can!
KTK counts as a single block. Tormenting Voice was an in-block reprint similar to Naturalize chosen to demonstrate the differences between Khans Tarkir and Dragons Tarkir. And even if they do count as separate blocks for reprint purposes, BFZ block released between DTK and SOI. Naturalize was printed in Shards of Alara, Zendikar, Innistrad, and RTR blocks. Tormenting Voice very well can be printed in SOI, and would be quite fitting both for flavor and function.

When a creature with madness is in the graveyard, you will be essentially returning 2 creatures. A returning card but this is a context where it works much differently.
.....Is it weird that as a dude the second thing I notice is how fancy her new dress is?
Looks like Lili is gonna be a heart-stopper every Innistrad ballroom....or graveyard.
....or really anywhere.

It's not weird. I too, want to know who her tailor is.
It's always a shame when they don't take advantage of good reprints, but they really hit the mark with this one, especially with the adjusted flavor.

I love that the background art has "musicians" for this waltz.

I guess killing angels won't be frowned by the generous populous so she is going to enjoy this
Reanimate sucks cause it needs cards like Entomb to work.
Lol, they broke her leg/hip so that she wouldn't show evil cishet-pleasing thigh and garter.

I'm offended by your assumptions that I could offend anyone.
It's some kind of... anti-Liefeld. My God, what hath we wrought.
This is just...breathtaking
But seriously I love that art.
If you are talking about the comic book artist Liefeld then I can only say that anything anti-Liefeld is a good thing as far as I am concerned.
