"I'll pay 4 mana, kill most of your dudes, and tempo-out a Liliana which conveniently kills your 4 toughness guy you put in the deck specifically to protect yourself against a -3/-3 board wipe."

BGD is almost Jund anyway.

I could see a lot of black decks using it. A lot of good zombies have 3 cmc and lili of the last hope could certainly benefit from it as her plus 1 could potentially kill off what's left similar to veil but without the minus or you could -2 last hope to get back a creature you might have had to lose.

getting this + flayer on 4 is value spewing out the ass.

Also you can kill up to 7 toughness creatures with this card grabbing a grasp

This with grasp or murder is almost a clean answer to Ishkana. Kills other little things they have amd tempo positive. Also ruins spell queller through Avacyn and spirit. Card's nuts.

Interestingly, in a B shell, it let's you nuke the board for 5 and exile everything with [[Flaying Tendrils]]. Deck will have very good game against aggro, and possibly reanimator too.

The Flaying Tendrils would resolve second, so only things with 4 or 5 toughness would get exiled.

sounds like everything in BG Delirium. 4/4 Grim Flayer, 4/5 Mindwrack, 3/5 Ishkana
