If these decks are good against the “fair” Bant and Humans decks, it could open up the metagame for BX Control to succeed outside of Owen and Manfield’s hands. Oath of Liliana decks, related cards, strategies, rulings, and more. This can be extended to any of the emerge cards and another favorite- Eldritch Evolution. Emerge isn’t a very strong mechanic if you can keep the board clear for multiple turns and the strategy Oath of Liliana excels in is board control. BX decks also line up well against many of these starts with turn-2 removal, turn-3 Oath, and turn-4 planeswalker. If the metagame skews toward Eldrazi or a midrange deck trying to play fair and go over the top in the late game, then Oath of Liliana looks far more promising.Ĭonsidering how many early brews I’ve seen ( Elder Deep-Fiend doing a nice Mistbind Clique impression), seeing normal creatures on curve looks more likely. But Eldritch Moon seems to have a lot of playables for other colors. GW Tokens and Bant Humans both have plenty of fodder to sacrifice and negate the value proposition. Is the current Standard metagame great for this card? Not particularly, which is the one thing stopping me from going BWx Control greed. Of course that’s just the most obvious starting point-BGx Control is another that springs to mind. Oath of Liliana is legendary, just like the previous Oaths from Oath of the Gatewatch. The last ability triggers only once per turn, even if more than one planeswalker entered the battlefield under your control. Still, starting from Owen’s deck seems like the smartest approach. This is also true if Oath of Liliana wasn't on the battlefield when the planeswalker entered. Rebuying your creatures makes opposing removal less of a concern in game 1.

Post-board, her -2 makes rebuying Eldrazi Displacer or Kalitas all the easier, and her plus is already good if GW Tokens and Mono-White Humans stay popular.

Taking advantage of the new Liliana with a full playset could be the way to go. I may be too conservative with my build here. The obvious home is BW Control, so I made a rough sketch of how I’d like to try it. You also get your double-up with every other planeswalker down the line, which can easily be the difference between living or dying on contested boards. You force Bant to commit more board resources and still get the passive for the 2/2 later in the game. It also provides a turn-3 kill spell that doesn’t make the turn-4 Languish particularly embarrassing. Gideon? If a single 2/2 was nice, what about a pair of them?Īgainst a slow start, eating their 3-drop and snagging a Zombie alongside your Gideon the next turn is going to be practically game-ending if you can continue to snowball that turn. Suddenly Liliana, the Last Hope becomes a real nice follow-up if you eat a creature and get a 2/2 blocker along with her. The passive effect of making a Grizzly Bear every time you play a planeswalker? That can get feisty in a hurry and accentuates your planeswalkers. It’s overcosted, but something that at least impacts the board immediately.

3 mana isn’t unreasonable for a sacrifice effect.
