Rather than pay 2 for each previous time you've cast this spell from the command zone this game, pay 2 life that many times.

Whenever a player casts a spell, they lose 2 life.
Rulings
3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2020-11-10
Liesa's first ability isn't optional. You can't choose to pay mana to cover the "commander tax," even if you have that mana available.
- 2020-11-10
Liesa's first ability applies only to the "commander tax." If there are any other additional costs to cast Liesa, those costs must be paid as normal.
- 2020-11-10
Liesa's last ability will resolve before the spell that caused it to trigger.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
