"Liliana Vess specializes in the power of death, reanimating corpses and corrupting the living. Her desire to avoid her own death led her to another powerful Planeswalker: Nicol Bolas. Bolas brokered a pact between Liliana and four demons from the Multiverse, giving her immense magical power and ageless life.

    It makes the cost 7, even if it's normally less than 7

    I guess her 1 can be used to get Josu Vess and Revenant out cheap with cruel revival/dark petition type of cards. Bone Dragon, a mythic, would pair great with it.

    The common Vicious Offering makes her 2nd moot. Only surpassing in effectiveness maxed. Even then, still costs more than the common.

    Her 3rd doesn't seem better than Lil1's 3rd.

    The only thing she has going is better mana gains than Lil1. Just a proper discard with cruel/petition already in hand with Lil1-1st is faster. And you don't need to regain mana to bring back 3 creatures of any type; not being limited by zombie subtypes.

    Seems too dependent on certain card/combos.

    I play her a lot with first to mill cards away and then put into play.
