Call the Waves Back
Lier, Disciple of the Drowned is a compact engine for spell recursion and hard to stop once it resolves. On a board, Lier turns your graveyard into a second hand by granting flashback to every instant and sorcery there while simultaneously preventing opponents from simply countering your answers. The card reads plainly and performs predictably, which makes it an efficient inclusion in control, combo, or storm shells that want reliable repetition without elaborate setup.
The 3 U U investment buys a 3 4 body and two overlapping effects that shift game flow toward resource advantage and redundancy. Use it to rebuild tempo after a sweep, to replay pivotal countermagic, or to loop a storm enabler. The art and name tie into Tarkir lore where drowned knowledge returns to surface; mechanically this means recurring interaction and fewer dead topdecks. If your deck depends on instant and sorcery density, Lier streamlines lines and enlarges your playbook. Add it to a blue commander list when you want recursion that demands a response rather than permission.
