brilliant!!! :)

So you think the downside of discarding cards is counterbalanced by shuffling the discarded cards back into your library? That's very interesting because of all places cards can be in your library is probably the most difficult place to get to them.

Cards in your hand: easy access, just use them
Cards in the yard: access through reccursion, flashback, you name it, plenty of ways to do it
Sideboard: access through use of wish cards
Your Library: Tutors, and tutors are concidered overpowered so either they are very costly to the point of unusable (Diabolic Tutor) or banned/restricted (demonic tutor, Vampiric Tutor, etc...)

I agree with Seth. Elixir of Immortality is a very good card in casual, and even better in limited, but it pretty much nerfs Liliana's true power. Rather than return cards to your library, where you'd be losing card advantage, try building around Liliana using cards that work out of your graveyard. :manab::manag: is probably best suited for this, with cards that /want/ to be in your graveyard. If you're not playing standard, then look into abilities such as madness, dredge, delve, built in recursion (Bloodghast, Nether Shadow), flashback. If you are playing standard, Innistrad has plenty of cards that like it when you put things into your graveyard -- quite a few green creatures, anything with flashback, Snapcaster Mage, Skaab Ruinator, Zombies in general...

well I do have cards that have them discard their cards and I have 4 Elixir of Immoratlity in the deck as well. Not a good Idea then right. My main purpose of this deck is to make them run out of cards quick and sacrifice their creatures with my other sorcery or instant spells.

for the record, it only costs 2 to use elixir of immortality's ability. u said 4 lol (Kao007)
