While I do think Liliana of the Veil can be successfully utilized in a Greasefang deck, it may be difficult for the Greasefang decks to protect Liliana of the Veil once she is in play. Greasefang strategies have to use a lot of slots up on the combo aspect of the deck, which means they won’t have as much interaction like the removal and discard we see in Rakdos Midrange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wrapping Up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe biggest concern I have with Liliana of the Veil is that it could turn Rakdos Midrange in Pioneer from “good” to “too good.” If that happens, it likely won’t be because Liliana of the Veil is too overpowered for Pioneer, but because the sum of all the parts in the Rakdos Midrange deck are too strong. The upcoming Regional Championships featuring Pioneer will provide some important data on how good Rakdos Midrange has become with the addition of Liliana of the Veil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In terms of Standard, I have no complaints, and believe this will be a healthy addition to the format. If you are a player who likes the idea of a planeswalker that sees play across Standard, Pioneer, and Modern, Liliana of the Veil will check that box for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
