Can you believe MTGS is calling this a "useless piece of crap unplayable in any format"?
Oh, wait, it's MTGS after all.

But yeah, card is INSANE

That's because they are judging it in a competitive standpoint. There it won't make many waves.

But yea, acting like this is setting you back when setting up your grave is a huge thing this format is still just stupid.

That's kinda my point :/ You won't be discarding anything important with this, rather spells with Flashback, Skaab Ruinator etc.

Discard 3 Eldrazi things.

Win.

The discard actually fuels the second effect so yah.

Sure, but it's very risky. Unless you have any backup, it will be stupid. You got 3 counters, bam, Shatter or something. You just lost 3 big creatures.

Problem is...it takes way too long and way too much setup to use this...(Even Proliferating this thing after first counter is up you'll hvae to check if Graveyard position is good enough to worth using this card...)

Different was Liliana's Ultimate wich completes itself by +1ing each turn with Lily's discard effect.

Good it is mythic coz...I seriously pissed of to pull this from packs...D:

Oh but flavor is OMG...Necronomicon all the way

Drop Turn 3 Lily, use +1
Turn 4, drop this, +1 again, discard from this
Turn 5, +1, discard
Turn 6, -6, discard
Granted you forced them to sack some creatures, finally sack this.

...yeah, terrible concept, I know

Too many -1s granted you wanted to protect this somehow...your losing all your protection on the way...XD

Not really. Your opponent could just drop non-creatures, and with no built in way to protect her Lily dies easily. And even then what ever you discard would either be set up for this to bring back or flashback set up.

And again, this is an insane card in commander. Like really, off the wall insane. Sure it is to slow for constructed, but in slower formats this rules.

It still takes 3 turns to get out the Ultimate, and so long as she doesn't it it she isn't that great. That means you only need to send a few points of damage her way each turn and your good.
