I like it. A 2/3 flying that can destroy cards and/or prevent the opponent from playing certain kinds of cards is a good deal for 3 mana. It always feels like a must-answer card, and/or it just seems to dominate games.
Favorite Arnold movies are The Terminator, True Lies and Predator.
Terminator and Terminator 2... and Jingle All The Way is a guilty Christmas pleasure.
Trygon Predator is a really good card, but I don't feel like it's needed as much as it once was now. I don't think we'll be seeing it in our cube again.
Love it. There are so many powerful cards that you want disenchant effects for and when I main deck this card, I feel more prepared. I've found it to be a great top deck in a lot of match-ups too.

T2 is so much fun
That's what I like about it. Having Smash to Smithereens or Disenchat in the cube doesn't feel completely right in a non-powered environment, but being able to maindeck the that effect, playing it preemptively or simply carrying equipment with it is a huge bonus.
I believe WoTC's new policy is to make sure that every color can enjoy the exciting gameplay mechanic of making undercosted dudes and then turning them sideways. Clearly the future of magic.

Trygon Predator is always welcome in any decks playing both blue and green. It's a decent threat with a very relevant ability. It's probably not going anywhere for a while.
My favorite Arnold movie is probably T2. It was one of the first action/sci-fi flicks I fell in love with as a kid. Obviously Arnold has a bunch of classics, but T2 will always have a special place for me. If I had to pick a runner up, I'd probably give it to Commando for just being a giant bucket of delicious cheese.
Trygon is a solid (although unexciting) utility card. He's one of the few cards that I run a MM version over the original just because the original is so ugly. Other notable cases of MM > original are Maelstrom Pulse and Bloodbraid Elf.
Does Batman Forever count as an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie?

Wow, really? I went out of my way to get an OG copy so I wouldn't have to play the MM version.
I like Trygon Predator. I wish the guild were deeper, though.

Draft my cube: Eric's 390 Unpowered
The need for main deck-worthy artifact destruction plus the shallowness of Simic are keeping TP in my cube for now, but in an unpowered cube there are more matchups than I like where it's just a Chapel Geist, and that's not a very good place to be for a cube gold card.

I like the art in the Modern Masters version better, too, and the watermark's also pretty cool.
I love the entire Terminator series, and Ahnuld's been great in all of them, but the original is easily my favorite Schwarzenegger flick. It's one of the tensest movies I've ever seen, and one that I never get tired of.

My black three drop slot has three lilianas and each one is pretty amazing.
My blackggro decks are mostly based on recursion and equipments, so playing this turn three basically recurs my one drop when it flips, and then three more times, if it isn't more prudent to tick to her ult. Let's you build pressure without overextending into a wrath which is invaluable. Probably the second best Liliana.
Flips the most out of the flip walkers and ults a lot.
I support a sacrifice theme in Black, and she seems really great there. I really like how well her different abilities work together,something not always true of powerful planeswalkers
Nothing TOO exciting: Flesh Carver, Vampire Nighthawk, Merciless Executioner. Weaponcraft Enthusiast is a pet card I have too much fun with
She is a good card, and black's three drops are not as deep as white's or red's (and not as powerful as blue's), but I think we will start seeing people cut her due to Liliana saturation soon.
I run (roughly in descending order of powerlevel):
As I mentioned in This or That I've been leaning towards cutting this to bring back Mardu Strike Leader. I think both Liliana of the Veil and Liliana, the Last Hope are better, and I don't really want 3 Lilianas in my 3-drop section. Liliana, Heretical Healer has been really good in RecSur decks that actively want the discard outlet, and will often have a great low-CMC value critter to reanimate. However, this card is a lot less wanted in control decks, and not at all desirable in aggro decks. Add to that the BB in the cost, and I'm finding this a narrow card with only one home. This is a cut that hurts, as I think Liliana, Heretical Healer is a really cool card, and I love the art on both sides, but I think her time in my cube has passed.
Cheap burn spells are good, but losing control of the timing defeats the purpose. I've rarely seen it suspended, and at the other front the card is bad.
Rift bolt is fine. Suspend is nice for storm or to trigger things like bloodthrist, etc. It has uses. It can also affect how your opponent plays, much like dropping a seal of fire does T1 does (though I generally prefer seal to rift bolt because you have more control on when you use it).
I've played Rift Bolt before when I was building the cube. It was fine but unexciting, and there are better options for most cube sizes.
MM2017 was a very good set. I was the idiot who was sure, sure that they wouldn't reprint the fetches anytime soon, so I ordered my copies a week before spoilers started. They arrived a few hours before they were spoiled. But whatever. MM2017 allowed me to get copies of Liliana, Damnation, Goblin Guide, and Craterhoof for the cube. I got the older versions of Hoof and Guide, but it drove the prices down quite a bit. The biggest miss for me was Noble Hierarch. Hopefully it shows up in the next Eternal Masters? I'm not spending $55 on a manadork.

I used to write for MTGS, including Cranial Insertion and cube articles. Good on you if you can find those after the upgrade.
That's what I like about it. Having Smash to Smithereens or Disenchat in the cube doesn't feel completely right in a non-powered environment, but being able to maindeck the that effect, playing it preemptively or simply carrying equipment with it is a huge bonus.

I was disappointed not to see Noble Hierarch in there. That or BoP would've been much better than Call of the Herd.
