Give her a hand folks, for Liliana has the potential to takes yours away from you. I've built myself what I think is a discard deck capable of handling a 4-way Commander game, maybe, in a casual format. Won't go far in tournaments, I realize, but I'm OK with this.
As usual, I use discard as board control more than a direct win condition, a la Megrim or Liliana's Caress, though both are present for obvious reasons. The best repeatable discard tricks all involve creatures eating faces, anyway. Also: Oona's Prowler with a Lashwrithe makes me laugh maniacally for the emotional pain inflicted on the receiving player...
Anyway. I haven't made an EDH (Err, Commander?) deck in years, so thoughts, opinions, suggestions, death threats, whatever. Let me know.
