Liliana's Reaver

Description

Liliana's Reaver is a Rare card identified as number 147 in the Commander 2014 release for Magic: The Gathering. This black mana creature enters the battlefield with a mana cost of {2}{B}{B} and possesses a power and toughness of 4/3. Its card number places it within the base checklist of the C14 set, which was designed to support singleton formats like the Commander format. The card’s utility stems from its printed abilities, which synergize with the Zombie subtype. It possesses Deathtouch, allowing it to destroy larger creatures upon combat damage. Furthermore, whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, that player must discard a card. Simultaneously, the controller creates a tapped 2/2 black Zombie creature token. This dual effect provides immediate card advantage while establishing board presence through token generation. Collector interest in Liliana's Reaver often centers on its specific role within the Commander 2014 product line. The card is illustrated by Karl Kopinski, whose artwork defines this print run. As a Rare card, it holds a distinct place in the set's rarity structure. For players building decks focused on the black color identity, this card offers a straightforward method to disrupt opponents while expanding their own army. The combination of Deathtouch and token creation makes it a functional piece for those exploring the Commander 2014 pool.
