![]() ![]() It may seem counter-intuitive to run something like Rule of Law when your commander hurts people for playing a ton of spells, but this is just one more barrier in the way of spell slinger decks and in general you will not be playing a ton of spells per turn so you are likely not affected too badly by these effects. I rarely regret having this in play, it generally does something every game.īlack/White decks don't tend to be the quickest to build up a board state, so I have found it important to run some amount of hatebears, effects that bring opposing pieces into play tapped, and spell-per-turn limiters. Swords to Plowshares and Solitude suddenly become far stronger when this enchantment is in play. Tainted Remedy incidentally hurts a number of people's decks randomly and helps with some combos in this deck. Every time Liesa hits an opponent you are gaining 5 life and then you can hit another opponent for 5 more (I generally don't hit the same opponent she damaged to concentrate on the commander damage route on one player, but there are certainly instances where it is fine to double up). Cards like Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Exsanguinate, and Debt to the Deathless become a bit scarier since after you gain a significant amount of life, someone else is going to lose even more. One of those cards in combination with Children of Korlis in play is a massive deterrent for opponents who would want to hit you for a large non-lethal amount of life loss, as you can gain it right back and make them lose an equal amount of life. Besides enabling a few lethal combos, they can do a lot of work just chipping out significant chunks of people's life. Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose and Sanguine Bond are all-stars in this deck. Various equipment pieces and auras can help work your way towards a commander damage kill while simultaneously increasing the life gain. The commander herself has built in lifegain and flying to make her harder to stop, which can go a long way towards helping you regain lost life. In my experience, Liesa will die a fair number of times throughout a game.ĭue to the nature of Liesa's static ability and her life loss commander tax, you will likely lose a good amount of life to your own commander, but there are a number of life gain effects within the deck to hopefully offset this. However, her "life loss commander tax" can seriously add up, to the point that you may be unable to cast her if your life drops low enough. ![]() Liesa is a fairly resilient commander in that she avoids traditional commander tax, so once you have enough mana to play her you never have to worry about hoping you get land drops to replay her in the event of her likely death. It would be possibly to skew this deck further towards life gain or hatebears/taxes but I think I've found a healthy balance that works well. This deck generally will win based on life loss taxes, mass life loss, and/or some life gain/life loss based combo but also has potential to just win based on commander damage. We have other White/Black/Orzhov commanders, but a pretty nasty tax effect stapled onto a 5/5 flying/lifelink creature is new and exciting.I've been playing and tweaking this deck fairly regularly since Liesa was released. The actual effect is less "generically good" than "gain 2 life whenever a player casts a spell" and actually makes her casting restriction a lot more painful, but it makes her way interesting IMO. I woke up today, checked the newest spoilers, saw her and said to myself "Yeah we've already seen her leaked, but let's take a second look+look at the actual non-blurry art", and I was very surprised when I saw the last line. r/magicTCG is not produced, endorsed, supported by, or affiliated with Wizards of the Coast.
