Liliana's Mastery

Description

Liliana's Mastery, designated as card number 86 in the 2022 Starter Commander Decks set, is a powerful Rare Enchantment that defines the zombie strategy for new players. Illustrated by Kieran Yanner, this card serves as a cornerstone for decks focused on the black mana color identity. With a mana cost of {3}{B}{B} and a mana value of 5, it requires a moderate investment of resources to cast, rewarding players who have established a solid board presence. The card’s abilities make it a formidable tool for controlling the game state. Once played, it grants a +1/+1 boost to all Zombies you control, significantly increasing their combat strength. Furthermore, upon entering the battlefield, it creates two 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens. This immediate board presence helps players establish dominance early in the match, providing both offensive pressure and defensive blockers. The flavor text, hinting at the legion waiting to serve, perfectly captures the dark, commanding presence of the card's namesake. For Magic: The Gathering collectors, this card represents a key piece of the Starter Commander product line, which was released to introduce players to the Commander format. As a Rare card from the SCD set code, it holds a distinct place in the collector's catalog, valued for its gameplay utility and its role in the broader Magic universe. Whether you are building a zombie-themed deck or simply appreciate the intricate design of Magic's enchantments, Liliana's Mastery offers a compelling blend of strategic depth and thematic flavor. Its inclusion in the Starter Commander Decks ensures it remains a relevant and iconic card for the community.
