She has average health and average deck limits. She has good mana gains in Black and Blue, less in Red, and minor minuses to White and Green.

Her abilities have a zombie theme. If her graveyard is full enough, she can kill opposing creatures and bring them back on her side as zombies. Her ultimate ability allows her to return a creature from her graveyard to play as a zombie each turn. She also has minor life drain, discard, and card draw abilities. Her third ability has the tendency to work against the power of the second ability. Her first aids both.

Liliana, Waker of the Dead is the sixth of many playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Liliana Vess at different points in her life.

Waker of the Dead has at least three portraits. The one ingame and in the "Select Avatar" list (Profile > Change > Select an Avatar) is the same as her Vanguard card from M20; there is a different one at the top of her Abilities list.
