[[Liliana of the Veil]] is a black human Planeswalker, introduced in July 2018 along with the [[Core Set 2019]] card set.
+
[[Liliana of the Veil]] is a black human Planeswalker, introduced in late 2022 along with the [[Dominaria United]] card set.
  
−
She has lower than average health and average deck limits with a focus on Creatures. Her mana gain is one of the strongest in the game; she is tied with [[Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord]] for a very high +7 Black mana bonus; as of October 2022, the highest Black bonus in the game. She still manages +3 to Red and Blue, with deep cuts to White and Green.
+
She has lower than average health and average deck limits with a lower Creature limit. Her mana gain is like a tricolor Walker, with +3 to Red and Blue as well as Black, and neutral White and Green.
  
 
Liliana of the Veil's second ability is almost as expensive as her third, despite being a much weaker version of the same thing, but her third can create a strong swing in favor of her defense. She is one of not very many Planeswalkers that can directly destroy creatures without targeting them, avoiding {{Ability|Ward}} and {{Ability|Hexproof}}. An approximately equal number of PWs can do this by weakening enemies, but both means are rare. At higher levels, this third ability, An End for all Means, can destroy supports of any kind as well. An End for all Means also selects for the greatest casting cost, avoiding sub-optimal targets like {{Ability|Treasure}} and creature tokens. She can also kill creatures for less Loyalty, a little slower, by giving them {{Ability|Imminent Death}}; at level 10-25, she can do this without targeting them, but the ability becomes targeted thereafter.

She also discards cards like L1 and L6, but equitably; not targeting the opponent's first card that likely has mana spent, like L1.

An approximately equal number of PWs can do this by weakening enemies, but both means are rare. At higher levels, this third ability, An End for all Means, can destroy supports of any kind as well.
