Card neutral by default (most of the time) Card advantage most of the time.
Seems awesome.

Holy shit, this is scary. Are 2/2 Zombie token's going to be Black's "thing", like blue's card draw and red's direct damage as a go-to effect? There's this, Grave Titan, Innistrad and Dark Ascension...

Ummm, if you block, the blocking creature(s) is mostly going to die. If you don't block, you will take 4 damage, -1 hand advantage, and give your opponent one delayed-attacker/blocker. Then you felt like you should have blocked and kill your Liliana's Reaver. Basically, this card will guarantee small amount of advantage over your opponent. Great design as a non-broken Grave Titan.
One of the best card advantage in M14, this one is a potential 3-for-1 for four mana, it's that good.

Not bad at all! That's one really frickin' ugly zombie.

Would definitely be interesting in horde mtg. I expect to see it in some horde decks.

You never want to block this, and you never want to let it through. At least it's not a 4/4, so trades with things like Hellrider and Boros Reckoner. If it ever deals combat damage, it's insane.
Arguably the best in the cycles (for Limited, anyway). I put an Accorder's Shield on him during the Prerelease and watched my opponent stumble over himself trying to get rid of it. Truly a bomb if you can get it.

This feels like an evolution of Browbeat and is a new punisher card that rewards you either way :)

The best deck front of the starter decks by far. If this gets through even once, you opponent is going to have a hard time coming back. 4.6/5.
If you get both this guy and Doom blade in sealed and you don't play black I will judge you.
4.5/5

This card can create a lot of pressure by itself, now imagine when played along with Grim Return
Amazing!

If they block, they lose a creature. If they don't, you get +2 card advantage. Any downside? No? Okay.

Holy junk monkeys. If this would've been a 4/4 I would've given it a 5. Not only does it have a very relevant creature type, but it does ALL of that with no drawbacks whatsoever. This is a great card for black, and possibly my favorite black card of the set.

Liliana's Reaver Plus Endless Ranks Of The Dead And Any Zombie Card Is A Death-Dealing Blow To Anything.

I wish there were more cards like this. In fact, the whole planeswalker set is pretty cool now - all 5 are unique, create some kind of card advantage, but aren't overpowered.

Have Zombies, Will hoard.
Anyways, lets review shall we?
You can't afford to block it, you don't want to let it through, it only costs 4, its a zombie meaning it gets great tribal support, and its a decent 4/3.
Let me assure you, this is so nasty it's unbelievable. Trust me when I say this, you absolutely do not want to go up against this thing under any circumstance.

Desecration Demon or Liliana's Reaver or Alms Beast? If you have to run 4 four-drops in your RBW midrange deck, which ones do you pick and how many of each?

Edit: Nighthowler bonus P/T for each creature card in ALL GY s so if they block they will boost him/Nighthowler. If they don't they are taking damage, discarding and you get a token.
If Corrupted Conscience is used to take control of Lilliana's reaver, which of Lilliana's abilities (if any) does it retain with the infect from Corrupted Conscience ??

This would see standard play if it wasn't for Desecration Demon. It's too bad really.
