![]() I love Aristocrats and grindy decks so having this Liesa in the command zone seems like it will be a lot of fun and at the same time being against a grave hate effect in the command zone makes me want to pull my hair out! I am going to have a REAL Love/Hate relation with this card. Perhaps only Liesa can, because of her connection to black mana A thousand years ago, Avacyn single-handedly destroyed their sister and her entire small flight, and they had made the very mention of her name forbidden.”Ī: angels are like demons, and can reform over time. She did not approve of Liesa's methods, and when Liesa made a pact with a demon lord, Avacyn declared her a heretic and destroyed her, along with her entire flight of angels.”Īnd the following is from Shadows over Innistrad “A gaze black and pitiless”, which is told directly from Sigarda’s perspective She was inflexible in her righteousness and unstoppable in her power. ![]() “One day, a new angel appeared as if from nowhere: Avacyn. This is taken directly from last years “The Legendary Characters of Commander Legends”, while the article is OOC, it still expressly states Liesa is “destroyed” They share a character and mana cost and keywords but they're very different if you ask me. I wouldn't build either one the same way. Has no protection though so if she dies, you have to get her back with commander tax or reanimation unless you use some other spell/ability to protect her. This seems to lead to abusing ETBs and LTBs, or Shadowborn Apostles type stuff, looping certain things over and over. Hates on death triggers and whatnot, and the main thing to abuse is that your creature cards go back to hand after death. This leads her down roads like hard stax or weaponizing life gain.įorgotten Archangel however, despite also being a flying lifelinker, seems to go in a different direction. In addition, you can't get locked out of her casting her again if she gets removed based on mana since she will always cost five mana, no matter how many times she dies. ![]() Shroud of Dusk has that 'soft stax' ability hurting your opponents for every spell you cast she hurts you too but she's also a 5/5 flying lifelink so you can rather reliably gain 5 life per turn to offset it. Or if you guys have other interesting (and as much as possible, leaning more towards casual and non-cutthroat) directions in mind, I'd love to hear about those too.They're rather different so I wouldn't replace one for the other. In practice, do you guys find running the lifedrain plan makes you the instant archenemy on the table? Or is it only when you start pulling ahead in terms of life totals? As much as possible, I want to stay a little under the radar and rather not be a ] or ] level threat as soon as things start. If that's not enough, I can think of trying to transition a lifedrain strategy, to try and gradually drag all opponents down (while keeping Liesa player's life a little above theirs). ![]() Having a big life total is nice and all, but does it have enough payoffs to try to win the game? If mostly lifegain is a workable plan, I think it looks nicer than stax (from an opponent's point of view at least). That left me with the "seemingly least threatening" looking direction, which is lifegain. You just suit her up with a bunch of pumping equipment, give her double strike, then take players out one by one. But my concern is that most voltron builds might be rather linear, in that there's not too much interaction. The next thing I thought of is voltron, since she can somewhat bypass commander tax using life, and already has lifelink to begin with. What I do know, is that I do not want to go super heavy stax (like locking people down from doing anything at all). Problem is, I don't have a sure direction to build her in yet. Amyway, the idea is to be as casual as possible, but with her as the commander. I come from another game, and haven't played MTG in practice at all, so most of what I have is just theory. So I've made up my mind that ] will be the focus of my very first deck.
