    That has been a question of mine with the zombie objective. After casting anoint on a creature, when you cast the same creature it reinforces it. When level 3 ability is in play, it deals 4 damage. So that might count towards casting zombies. I would be willing to take the 2 ribbon penalty if it doesnt work

    Turning tokens into zombies with lvl 1 ability gives them the +3/+3 bonus. Posted a video on youtube using hangarback walker. https://youtu.be/NS4-5XNHYSY

    Oh god, using her first ability on hangarback itself is just disgusting! Really need that card :)

    I absolutely love this new Liliana and have been playing her pretty heavily since she launched.  I originally made a zombie deck, but feel Last Hope did it better.  I shifted focus and went with a new strategy based upon one undeniable fact - Any creature with a strong effect upon entering or leaving play is amazing with her first ability.

    I'd love to have Heart of Kiran (or, in a wild fevered dream, Sundering Titan) to round out my setup, but for creatures I'm running Emrakul, Skysovereign, and Marionette Master.  My full deck list as of now, which had handily been chewing through the event bosses, is as follows:

    Creatures:
    Emrakul, the Promised End
    Skysovereign, Consul Flagship
    Marionette Master

    Supports:
    Canyon Slough
    Fetid Pools
    Cartouche of Ambition

    Spells:
    To the Slaughter
    Unholy Hunger
    Final Reward
    Dark Ritual

    I'm actually considering dropping the Dark Ritual - I got lucky and pulled it a couple weeks back and figured it would let me get out the expensive creatures in this deck that much faster, but Death's Majesty generates so much mana so consistently with Pools and Slough that I'm thinking of putting in another support or spell in its place.

    i imagine it is a horror lol but not quite standard is it? not that a few replacement cant make it so. losing emrakul and to the slaughter would hurt

    maybe to the slaughter can be replaced with trial
    of ambition.

    honestly i dont know if you need another kill spell really maybe the cylcling zombie card? an extra mob plus with the last ability it would be an easy 6/6 with the bonus 12 dmg for them for 7 mana sounds like more win to me

    @Brigby
    As Hour of Devastation is due to be released next week along with Elspeth, will Liliana 3 be available for 295 mana crystals on 27th July also?

    @sjechua Sorry, but I'm afraid I don't have that kind of information available to communicate. 

    Feel free to keep an eye on this FAQ article though, as it shows when a Planeswalker is available in the vault, and when they leave it: Which Planeswalkers Are Currently Available In The Vault

    She will not hit the vault the 27th, but probably the week after.
