Liesa, Shroud of Dusk

Liesa, Shroud of Dusk was released in the 2020 set Commander Legends, a product specifically engineered to facilitate the Commander format through a unique draftable experience. The card depicts Liesa, an Archangel who was once a member of the Flight of Goldnight on the plane of Innistrad. Her narrative significance stems from her divergence from her sisters, as she sought to understand and combat the threats of the plane through methods that ultimately led to her condemnation by the Church of Avacyn.

Artist Slawomir Maniak designed the card's visual aesthetic, focusing on a solemn, shadowed portrayal of the character that emphasizes her duality as both an angel and a figure of the shroud. The design reflects the character's mechanical identity, which centers on life-drain effects that punish opponents for casting spells. Upon its release, the card was well-received by the player base for its evocative flavor and its high utility within the Orzhov color identity.
