Liliana's Steward B
Creature- Zombie T, Sacrifice Liliana's Steward: Target opponent discards a card. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery. Servants at Vess Manor are chosen for their strong work ethic and respectful demeanor. Being alive is not required.
1/2
Liliana's Devotee 2B
Creature- Human Warlock
Zombies you control get +1/+0.
At the beginning of your end step, if a creature died this turn, you may pay 1B. If you do, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token. Liliana inspires horror in many and fanatical admiration in a few.
2/3
Liliana's Standard Bearer 2B
Creature- Zombie Knight
Flash
When Liliana's Standard Bearer enters the battlefield, draw X cards, where X is the number of creatures that died under your control this turn. The purple banner of the House of Vess is a symbol of death wherever it's flown.
3/1
All three are decent. Morbid seems to be a theme in GB and the uncommon will be great for limited, and fairly solid in casual decks that care about either Zombies or death triggers.
Flash really makes the Standard Bearer for me. That kind of flexibility is great.
The fact that the standard bearer doesn't make you lose X life (which I was half-expecting, honestly) and doesn't say "nontoken" makes me feel pretty good about it. Sacrifice a bunch of tokens with woe strider to dig for an answer and draw it with the bearer. Seems pretty nice (and works nicely with living death, oddly enough).
I hope they make the jump and replace black with purple for good
Really? Why?
Personally, I find a hint of purple on black card frames alright (the Theros Beyond Death enchantment creature frame), but too much (like these) is not pleasing to eye.
It's a matter of personal taste of course, but I find the purple frame hideous. This might be one of the worst swamp I've ever seen. It's got a "wordart" feeling ^^'

Well then you got good personal taste. The swamp artwork is tasteless and does not “pop” or do anything for the design at all.

Ohhh the standard bearer may see in UB flash in the SB to combat boardwipes. Since UB flash tends to work on opponents turn's anyway if they boardwipe you can drop this in to get Massive CA.

This aint your girlfriends meta! This is a man's meta! TURBO META.
Liliana's Steward, while not broken, it is still a fine starter with 1 casting cost and can be really annoying if you are able to revive it some times from your graveyard.
It doesn't change much for Zombies, though.
Liliana's Standard Bearer is a very good adition to combo decks with creatures, but the CC 3 make it balanced, so it isn't broken. Also, a good thing is that this creature isn't limited to Zombie only.
I personally already consider colorless as the sixth color at this point, taking Purple's spot.
Which is probably for the best. As it already comes with its own special mana symbol and is meant to represent the bizarre and alien. The only thing it lacks is really a true Barry's Land, as while we got Wastes, it doesn't have a unique type. Personally I'm fond of Dream, Rift, or Distortion.

I would love A Barry's Land, but I doubt it would ever happen.
Currently Colorless is my fav color though. Especially with all the non-eldrazi colorless coming out lately

I honestly like the purple card frame for black cards. They look amazing.
I can't see a 6th color happening. C cards already had close to non design space to work with.
Hands to the sky
