From a creative stand point what a cool way to show a character is undercover.
I do dislike them going on how discard and life drain are suppose to be Dav and Sorins things and like lookingupanddown said where are the zombies? Maybe since she is hiding?
Wonder if we will see another planeswalker since its likely the Kenriths are MDFC.
EDIT- Magecraft is also nifty I like how it includes copies for multiple reasons.

I was wondering the same. If I remember correctly, MaRo said that each of the clues in his teaser were referring to different cards. This one has "Repeat this process six more times.", so that might mean this wasn't what he was referring to with "a planeswalker you know, but not as you know them". Which would mean that there might be Kenriths as MDFC, Onyx, Kasmina, and a fourth Planeswalker we know but not as we know them (Unless Simic Kasmina fills that gap).
But then again, maybe MaRo meant that the hints were referring to different cards, and the rules texts snippets are separate from that? Or maybe there is another repeat 6 times card?
For this ... well, it feels like a major break of Lilianas character to "hide" herself.
Niv-Mizzet put a bounty on her head after the events of War of the Spark. Kaya spared her, so she might be staying in hiding until everyone forgets her Ravnican zombie incursion.
and the ultimate was the “six or more times” teaser I thought maro said each teaser is for 1 card?
looking magecraft..l WIZARDS THAT ONE PART MIGHT MAKE THIS BANNABLE IN SOME FORMATS! (“When your cast or Copy... all storm cards including Thousand-Year Storm)
EDIT: WAIT WAIT WAIT! Since when does Danny Trejo know about magic cards!?! (that’s who previewing this)
Danny Trejo was in a Magic Arena commercial a year or two ago. I guess he got some sponsorship money from them, like American actors in Japanese commercials.

wow interesting learn something new everyday
Edit: OH SHOOT! Since the twins are here and if garruk is here and finds onyx he’s gonna go berserk charge on her because he knows her true identity.
What reason is there for her to hide her identity? Is she known on this plane? For being a multiverse everyone sure does know everyone else.
She was Bolas's accomplice in one of the greatest disasters in recent history in the one event where hundreds of Planeswalkers would have seen her. Kasmina for example has plenty of reasons to go for the throat if she ever recognizes Lili. And it doesn't matter she was coerced into it (not that anyone but the Gatewatch would even KNOW that fact), she's still directly responsible for the deaths of countless 'walkers, Dack and Gideon included.
Easily couldve been any other walker whose storyline HASNT been concluded.
Technically her story is anything but concluded because she has the whole raven man thing going
Isn't magecraft completely broken? You can copy your copy spell with itself and keep going

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.

But sex sells.
Kasmina (and any walker) would know her from War of the Spark. Liliana faked her death so likely she would lie low for whatever reason she is on the plane.

not just kasmina I want to remind the twins are here which could mean garruk came to protect them and we know garruk will recognize her instantly since she’s the reason he got that curse
I believe Magecraft is a keyword that requires something first - like metalcraft requires 3 artifacts before the metalcraft ability is turned on. So this is "[meet criteria first] then do this ability". Maybe it wants three spells cast first to turn it on, or wants three instants/sorceries in the grave (but that's too similar to Spell Mastery)
"Will you please welcome our new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher?"
I like how the typeline is "forced" to reveal that this is Lili in disguise.
Also, while the name Danny Trejo did ring a bell, my mind simply refused to establish the link until it was pointed out that this is THE Danny Trejo (I just recently rewatched Desperado...). Then I found out the man is already 76 years old!!!
Magecraft is in italics - meaning it's an ability word with no rules meaning.
So it seems to be a collection of abilities that trigger when you cast or copy an instant/sorcery. It would have no other requirements for it's not stated on the card.

Except it isn't. Its an ability word with no rules meaning that groups abilities with similar activation requirements.
That means its exactly what we see here "whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell do X." No hoops to jump through. Just a flat benefit added onto your spells.
As for the person who called out thousand year storm. Its certainly good with it but not the broken version you're probably expecting. Thousand year storm copies your spell once so it will trigger magecraft once. In the one copy event many copies could be made but these types of abilities don't care about that.
For this ... well, it feels like a major break of Lilianas character to "hide" herself.
For the card, it seems to be the kind of 6 mana removal that will then win by chaining all the blue cantrips into another as a pseudo storm deck.
Yea, that play pattern is as cancerous at it seems.

Would probably like this more if it would not be Liliana at all ...
At least this is a 6 drop permanent that has to be on the field while you cast the spells. Removing a planeswalker is much easier that stopping a Storm trigger. Especially one that costs 1R mana. At least you can counter a lot easier, too. Otherwise you need one specific card. (Or something like Stifle)
Magecraft makes me think we will see another new mechanic that is something like Replicate, but maybe you can only replicate it once. Functionally working like Kicker, it will let you copy your spells to double up on the benefits. I mean, think about how easy that is to tack on to numerous spells at all rarities.
Professor Vess is wondering where the Zombies are, because that's all she's missing from her ability suite on this card.

A spell can never target itself, so no. It works if you have 2, but then it's a 3 card combo that requires a 6 mana permanent, so whatever.

I guess you could but pretty much any “storm” card or thousand-year storm is all you need.
just feel blessed Kalamax, the Stormsire doesn’t have black but the bad news Kess, Dissident Mage does
I'm confused. How does the mere presence of a female character equate to "sex sells"?

And Ral, Storm Conduit never broke that despite being 4 mana and in the colors that are good at copying.
