Liliana's Contract 3BB
Enchantment (Rare)
When Liliana's Contract enters the battlefield, you draw four cards and you lose 4 life.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control four or more Demons with different names, you win the game.
You don't need to play underwhelming creatures, Conspiracy is legal in Modern. And in Commander any black deck worth playing can actually cast good demons off Cabal Coffers.

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.
Welp, looks like I'll need to make room for this in my Liliana EDH deck. Leaving aside the Felidar Sovereign effect (which is just as unreliable as the big cat, on the account of giving the opponents a whole turn to do something about it IN THE MOST REMOVAL-HAPPY FORMAT OF THE GAME), refilling your hand for such negligible costs sure is nice, when you're playing a commander that forces you to discard. Will probably remove Greed to make room for this, as I've always found that enchantment to be the most underwhelming of my deck, on the account of being clearly inferior to Necropotence which I also play.
If you have a way to instant speed reanimate some demons, you can easily negate the problematic "Show Me What You Got" turn around the table where all guns are aimed at you.
It really feels like this was suppose to say “four or more legendary demons” but I’m not going to complain when I just built a Demonlord Belzenlock EDH deck with multiple demons in it.
I really want to build a Liliana Vorthos deck now, but Griselbrand is banned in EDH, so I can't run all four of Lili's demons, which is clearly unacceptable.
I imagine that the 2nd effect used to be something like "As long as you control 4 or more Demons with different names, you can't lose the game and opponents can't win the game", but then some party pooper went all "This isn't a B effect at all!" and now we don't get what could be the best flavor win in the set.

Obviously they need to make a new, nonbroken version of Griselbrand. If you ask me, the whole "Pay 7 life, draw seven cards" was inappropriate for the setting anyway; Gris should have had some manner of sac effect to support Morbid and Undying. Maybe "Sac seven creatures, draw seven cards"?

Also, if you´re playing a mono black EDH deck, you´re bound to have some demons floating around...
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.

The point is to be flavorful and cast/resurrect actual demons!
