Yes mono {B}. That's pretty much the only good way. Brah

I really dislike the new Lilly. Why is she black ramp?! She is supposed to be control.

I don't like her either. She can't protect herself, her "ramp" ability only puts a swamp into your hand, not the battlefield. she's squishy.

The 2nd ability only kills a single target and her ultimate doesn't take place until the 9th turn at best. (baring any other mana ramp)

I dont really see the appeal. I see the ultimate, and I see how cool it is, but I also don't see anything rediculous there either.

As a planeswalker she is probably fun, I don't get the design philosophy, I think {Liliana Vess} and {Liliana of the Veil} are ultimately better cards.

Tbh i like this and id like to see more pws that arent all like "oh .poo. a pw kill it!"
And more like "Pw, interesting, better consider my choices."

I believe people place to much demand into what a PW SHOULD be and what they are. Look at the first 5 from Lorwyn. They are the most balanced ones. They print these things with some pretty hoss effects and get slammed because they can't "Protect Themselves". If you want to keep it around then you protect it. I don't use them as a general rule but I will be picking up new lilly. She is EXACTLY what my mono {B} has been looking for.

Yeah I think the new lilly is what a pe should be. And don't think there aren't any crazy good pws in m13! ;)

Look at the new ajani! If his -2 ability were a sorcery card with the same mana cost as ajani, I bet it would still see play in standard. That's how good he is. His -2 is like an ultimate in itself...got a mini bomb lik {Vorapede} out? For 3 mana you can give him double strike and screw your opponent.

And his ultimate...omg. I am totally getting at least 2 of these bad boys!!
