- Liliana Vess has spent her whole (very long) life mastering death, but what has it gotten her, and what's next for the greatest necromancer in the multiverse?

Absolutely love the Eva green casting choice. 10/10 sir, she just oozes Liliana.
Yes yes yes! However, 20 years ago my pick would have been Bebe Neuwirth (Lilith from Cheers/Frasier). Wich would happen before Lilliana was a thing, so...
Eva Green! I knew I liked this guy.
Kate Beckinsale or Gal Gadot would be great as well.
YESSSS
I'd kill (others and myself) for this, absolutely.
"Liliana and Her Zombies" sounds like a band name
I want to add my voice to the supporters of Flavor Wins. I love the original lore episodes you started with but the new format you're trying with Flavor Wins is a great showcase of actual magic. It does what everyone working for wizards should be trying to do by actually combining the story and game.
Every point of view is respectable, people like different things and expect different things.
I don't watch the Flavor Wins part, I'm not interested in the card game, I'm looking for lore(stories, character development, cultures, beliefs, etc).
If the youtuber is happy with the new format and most viewers prefer the new format...I'm ok with it.
@@DuskSunDawn I agree and understand. I wasn't saying anything was wrong with anyone not liking it for whatever reason and I'm sorry if it came off that way. I just wanted to let Ryan know that I appreciated the content and liked that he was trying new things.
@@andrewschaff3765 No, it didn't came off that way. I didn't mean to say that you are criticizing people who think different.
I wanted to say that I'm not interested in the new section, however, I think every opinion is respectable.
@@DuskSunDawn gotcha. Hopefully another longer form lore video comes out soon. I don't know how much more prep those take though.
InstaBlaster...
The reason Liliana likely hates angels is because Benalia is historically well established as worshiping Serra in the Lore. Angels probably remind her of her home and past. Maybe even reminding her of how she failed her brother.
This was a good comment! Thanks!
I’m running a Zendikar dnd campaign soon, I would love a Zendikar plane study or story run through before Zendikar rising
Good idea. I'll add it to the list!
I’ll probably also do that great idea First I’m gonna do a theros campaign
One good resource would be the Plane Shift:Zendikar, released by Wizards a few years ago.
I made my gf a zendikar Merfolk Druid who worships emri. The planes shift books are amazing, lacking in a few key things but still amazing.
This would be cool!
MTG needs more of this, more channels that talk about flavor and the joy of appreciation.
"...It is definitely worth, FIFTY DOLLARS??"
Laughs in Modern.
I'm surprised she's down to fifty.
@@flusterfluff for real, I got a bunch of her back in late 2012 for like $25, but I remember when she was around $112.
Was Dying for something to watch. Perfect Timing!
Continue with the dying part and Liliana can take care of that :)
Pun intended? ;P
Honestly, zombies just killing your opponent before Liliana even appears seems pretty flavourful to me 😆
Last time I was this early, the Mending hadn't happened yet!
Even thought I've watched all the episodes of Magic Arcanum, I expect to hear "behind the scenes is Nicol Bolas" every single time.
I’d like one on Karn, he seems a lot different than all the other planeswalkers.
No. All depictions of him in old cards make him look derpy. I don’t want to watch that.
That's because he IS so different from other planeswalkers. For starters, he's ("he" being arbitrarily allocated because he's) a machine, no other planeswalker (yet) is synthetic in-universe. Second, he's a pre-mending walker by a vast margin not just a few decades. He had god level powers, and even without it is still among the most powerful and physically robust of planeswalkers. Related to that is his age and perspective is also difficult to match among other planeswalkers, being over several thousands of years old even before actually becoming a planeswalker.
When you will do chandra, make it "oops all chandras" deck please 😅😂
Between M20 and M21, Chandra has to be the easiest flavor deck to build.
Liliana trying to determine her place in the multiverse.
Me: Ain't we all? ;P
I bought 2 boosters for a Jump start game with my buddy and pulled Tree hugging and Liliana. Treehugging Liliana was a funny deck playing and vorthos wise kept me chuckling the entire game over the thought of Liliana wandering around hugging trees.
Speaking of funnr Jumpstart deck names the first deck my nephew pulled was Doctor-Vampires aka Dr. Acula.
What a great way to start my Friday. Thanks a lot for this.
Shoutout to Fantasy Geographic for dropping lore videos.
oh gordo you sweetheart. fancy seeing you here. Of course you would be drawn to arcanums flavor videos.
You having so much fun playing with a deck made only for the flavor is really what I needed to see today, after facing 264638 cats, ovens and Wilderness Reclamations. Thanks a lot and congrats for the awesome content! 🖤
I definitely agree with the Eva Green pick! My other picks would have been Cate Blanchett or Rose Leslie; I don't see how anyone could see Angelina Jolie as Liliana
Saw Magic Arcanum on TCGplayer first time and thought it was gone. Glad to see you doing more lore stuff. We all need more Liliana and Vraska Decks!
Would love to see you on an episode of the Command Zone podcast or Game Knights!
I'm always excited to see a new video from you, this new series is very interesting and informative, thank you!
Just days ago I was searching youtube for a video like this, and here it is! Great video, subbed and looking forward to more!
Thanks for your good work! Your channel is still the only one I've ever pledged to on Patreon.
This was great! It gave a little more depth to her that I didn't understand. Thanks!
I always learn so much watching this show. Congratulations on your flavor wins!
Fantastic video, I love learning about the lore - especially about my favourite planeswalker. You’ve inspired me to delve deeper into Liliana’s story!
I love lore and the cards so seeing them work together has been inspiring for my deck building.
A fantastic video! Can't wait to watch more
Love this video so much! Lili is amazing and alwais a win!!!
Love the deck! Very fun!
Can't wait for more long version of Lore video to come back!!!!
Amazing work as usual!!!!
Always fun to watch!
These are awesome guys. I totally made a Bosri deck after your first Flavor Win and having a blast
This video was great, but what was even better was the MXC reference! 👌
My Lady... My Queen... Thank you so much for this video!
I'm getting fond of this flavor win series!!! Keep safe and keep up your wonderful videos.
One of my fav EPs so far. Loved you giving the Ajani Pridemate answer you gave me in a previous comment. Loved the game and the Mustache Minute! Please keep up all of the wonderful work. GEAR THE CANDLRSTICK!
Love Liliana, love the deck, Zombie's are probably my favorite Tribe and I love making tribal decks, so I will most likely be trying this one at some point in the VERY near future. Thank you for making videos like these, it's a great way to spend a day.
Eventually we are going to need to put all these flavor decks against one another and find out who is the most flavorful Planeswalker!
Liliana's Triumph is an awesome flavor win, though I was picturing a deck that takes advantage of discarding our own cards by reanimating them with Rise Again. Then again, I realize the problem with finding a reanimation target that is a flavor win, so I will just be extremely happy that you included 4 Stewards.
Beautiful Card. Had to order her in Foil. Nice quick recap of her story. Also great choice on the sleeves for the Gamplay;) Keep up the great work Ryan and Nicole^^
This was really good. I really enjoy this series.
OMG just got to the explanation of MageZyron, I LOVE a good anagram! You, sir, have the most wonderful name anagram I have ever seen. I melted with happiness when I heard the explanation for your screen name!
Although I do have to say that the "Most Anagrammable Name Ever" award still goes out to the wonderful Caitlin Durante, who seems to have an infinite number of wonderful anagrams for her name, including my favorites: "Trained in a Cult", "Ain't a Turd Incel", and "Trained Lunatic". And they just keep going!
Still waiting on “Phyrexian Storytime” lol
I really love this series! The only thing I wish is that since this is a story telling channel that while you play you described the flavor of what’s happening a little more.
So awesome! Story time about my favourite planeswalker! Thank you so much! 😍
that deck went so smooth! I liked it!
Ryan, I really wanna to congratulate you for coming up with this idea. Mixing lore with deck building and giving us arena gameplays is just the perfect series for the channel. Many thanks!
Hey just want you do know you're doing a killer job, keep up the good work!
I've been waiting for this so long ❤️
Thanks for all your videos
This seriesbis one of the best contents in UA-cam rn ❤
Liliana, arguably one of the most powerful beings in existence. Can planeswalker, can magic, can necromancer. Realized that the most powerful magic is actually beauty and youth.
Lovely video as Always! it's Always great to delve a little deeper in the lore of our beloevd planeswalkers (cough cough, especially Liliana, cough) Fun fact: that flavour text said that purple was associted with Death. In the XIX century, purple was actually associated with ill fortune (especially for sailors and stage Actors) and has Always represented wealth, since purple was an extremly difficult and expensive dye to create and very few elite families could afford to have purple in their livery
Great video love the lore
Eva FTW! That is perfect casting man!
I do like your Flavor Win decks. That's Magic in it's purest form - FUN!
Amazing video!
Love Liliana, favorite character from Magic’s lore. Currently I own a commander deck with Liliana, Heretical Healer as commander of the deck and it is a Flavored Tribal deck for her, all my Lilianas are Foil, including some extra Liliana related cards. I even bought Box Topper Liliana of the Veil for it, it is my pet deck, would love more cards for her and more storylines centering on her. WE NEED MORE LILIANA CONTENT!
I know I say something like this every video and I'm sorry. But I REALLY enjoy your content. It's honestly the most fun I've had with magic in a while. It might sound dramatic, but your videos help keep my love of the game.
I definitely liked this video more where it was half about lore half about the gameplay. I did only watch the lore though and so I did enjoy that it had even more lore than the last few episodes.
Love your videos Ryan!
I love your videos and I love Liliana so I may just have to watch this one a few times to get my fill.
Would be awesome to apply this style of videos to specific planes, I know that'd be harder to build a deck around. I know these videos are a lot of work, so I appreciate all your content!
Two things, in order of seriousness:
1- Liliana's origin is basically the same as Tony Chopper, from One Piece.
2- People of Dominaria remember her! Kinda. Per the flavour text from DOM Woodland Cemetery: "They never found the body of young Josu, or that of his murderous sister."
I saw the notification with the words liliana vess and i was so happy that i watched it immediately, and i love the 3 flavor wins
Not sure if this will ever be revisited as a deck, but when you pitched the concept, I immediately thought Dreadhorde Invasion as a one or two of. Really enjoying the series though, it is a real neat concept.
Lil is my favorite of the Lorwyn 5, love the video!
Edit: in the Dominaria story, she mentions a particular disdain for the Church of Serra, I like to think that that hatred is what fuels the angel spite
I don’t know what we did to deserve so many videos lately but I love it. By far my favorite mtg channel
this was a great episode
I started really playing when Lorwyn came out (more like core 10) but my friends and I basically got a box or two of lorywn and got at least one of each planeswalker. I being the black player drew towards Liliana. Recently got back into magic again and got m21. I can say I own every Liliana planeswalker card, sans special versions like the comicon ones. Still gotta get the borderless/full art Waker of the dead, though.
Man everytime I play casual standard I just found opponents with top tier decks haha.
I love you guys and your amazing content
Victory for the flavor deck. It's nice to see a competitive Liliana theme deck.
I think devotee is just devotion but an adjective, also love these flavor win vids, maybe historic at some point for more Lilianas?
Nice set of games!
Liliana's manor in Innistrad is refered as Vess Manor, at least in the "Innistrad's Last Hope" story from Eldritch Moon
Love the flavor decks
great video, as always. Though I find your audio is very low compared to other videos. had to use earphones to hear it properly
Nice Liliana flavor and anagram Arena name for the double-win!
I really enjoyed the flavor wins and this one showcasing Liliana in particular as she is one of my favorites as well! do you see her ever mixing with white in the future? Given the direction of her story It would fit.
Love this stuff
Dark Realms is so cool as a card, but you are right, it feels not too Liliana. I was able to acquire it when it was about $6. It is still in my Gisa zombie tribal EDH.
I am glad YOU'RE here.
It is impressive that you two managing to record this while traveling the blind eternities
😍LILY😍 great vid, as per usual with the Arcanum. Maybe consider some royalty free background music at low volume during the matches or something? I love your commentary so not too loud, but something to fill the void? P.S. maybe at the end of flavor wins seasons you could play against Nicole where you both use your favorite flavor decks from the season?
Nice flavor wins! There should be a flavor mode on Arena. Love the sleeves. Eva Green would play the perfect Liliana! Love this lore and gameplay.
Liliana is my favorite. Love the stories
welcome to the comment section ryan, I'm a fellow viewer and on top/under me are also fellow viewers, and we are so glad you are here because we love your vids! :D
This vid helped loads Ty
I love that professor Onyx came out, it answers this question
Loved this flavor win, also Liliana's my favorite
I've always understood Liliana more as a terrified person who was less about seizing power by any means (although growing up rich and powerful did teach her to appreciate power) but rather terrified of death, and by extension, aging. We know that she sees her necromancy as something that defiles corpses because it's something she refuses to do to those she respects. Part of her epiphany (and part of why I think it's extremely interesting that her new card doesn't make zombies) is that she actually felt Oketra's consciousness when controlling her, challenging her conception that zombies are mindless trash. Consider what it must be like to live through the mending: suddenly you lose half your abilities and stop being immortal. I think she sought out the contract, not hoping to gain back immense power, but mostly because it was the only way to stop her slow march towards death. Her epiphany in War of the Spark is less "I don't want to be controlled by Bolas anymore" and more her realising that her life isn't worth the millions she was endangering and her accepting her own death.
You're the only person on UA-cam that I believe when they say that they read every comment.
I really appreciate that about you, your team, and your channel.
Much love.
I appreciate that!
Oh also if anyone’s wondering Lily’s crown was taken from an angel like on the card Archangel of Tithes from Magic Origins.
I absolutely love Flavor Wins
Flavor Format would be such a cool format! Idk how you make rules for it but I'd love to play it at my LGS!
My favorite planeswaker, my favorite video, my favorite 3 flavor wins, Ryan Gomez you Rock
MORE PLEASE!!!
Speak of the Devil! Yesterday I tried Jumpstart for the first time and between the six packs I found the Lily one! And so now I have the Purple Swamps and my 3rd copy of Liliana, Waker of the Dead, wondering about a Zombie deck... and ta-da! Perfect timing!
Good lord, imagine your first planeswalk bringing you to Innistrad of all places. I'd probably think I had a heartattack and died.
Much fun!
I think the "Waker of the dead" Also has to do with the real world Wake Ceremony, in which people mourn for someone that recently passed. The card would get the name because she is mourning for Gideon.
I would love to see your Flavor Win Decks as Brawl Decks. So you can always cast the Planeswalker or Legend you talked about.
I think I'll be trying that for Chandra, since she still has a ton of cards in the format thanks to her being the face of M20, but for Basri, Teferi, and even Liliana, it was going to be too hard to fill a singleton deck and keep it on theme.
I love Liliana and been trying to build a modern deck with the pretty purple art cards. I would love to see an historic brawl so you can stick tightly to the Liliana flavor. My bet is on her future arc going black white like she discovers she loved Gideon and tries to raise him from the dead.
