What it does

+1: Each player discards a card. Each opponent who can't loses 3 life.

−3: Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of cards in your graveyard.

−7: You get an emblem with "At the beginning of combat on your turn, put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. It gains haste."

Rulings

6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2020-06-23

    A player who has a card in hand can't choose to lose 3 life instead of discarding a card.

  • 2020-06-23

    The value of X is determined only as Liliana's second ability resolves. Once that happens, the value of X won't change later in the turn even if the number of cards in your graveyard changes.

  • 2020-06-23

    As Liliana's first ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is chooses a card in hand without revealing it, then each other player in turn order does the same. Then all the chosen cards are discarded at the same time. Finally, each opponent who couldn't discard a card loses 3 life.

  • 2020-06-23

    If you have no cards in hand, you just don't discard anything. You don't lose 3 life. Other players still discard if able.

  • 2020-06-23

    In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well. If you leave the game, any permanents you control from Liliana's emblem are exiled.

  • 2020-06-23

    Creatures put onto the battlefield with Liliana's emblem gain haste indefinitely.

5 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Liliana, Waker of the Dead — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
