Alternative to discard, prevent opponents from drawing. Another form of lockdown to JTMS fateseal.
For my deck that uses Contagion Clasp and Contagion Engine to pump Planeswalkers with loyalty counters. So this Liliana could deny an opponent from drawing a card turn after turn.
Draw+discard should move to black from red.
Looting (draw, then discard) is in blue, not red.
Even if looting was in black (and I think it could be with the same stipulations as card draw i. e. adding "and loses 2 life" to the first ability), I think that's the wrong choice for this particular version of Liliana.
If the ultimate (as so often) cared about the graveyard, then causing the opponent to discard without losing card advantage plays into the ultimate, but on a card that for a change cares about making the hand smaller you really want a more typical ability that causes a net negative cards for the opponent.
Making a card specifically to enable soft-lock strategies criticizes itself.
Yeah the first ability feels off. If I were to go with that type of deal, I would take inspiration from Dark Deal and Wistful Thinking. So like "Each player draws two cards, then discards three cards. ... or maybe indeed straight-up the Dark Deal effect though it sounds a bit much.
Draw 2 discard 3 (was 2-2)
Made it discard 3. Assume other planeswalkers will recoup the card loss.
