I'm making a deck around Liliana, Heretical Healer and I want to able to reliably flip liliana to get the discard/reanimation in motion. i have cheap sac outlets/self sacrificers like carrion feeder, viscera seer, and vampire hexmage, as well as merciless executioner and fleshbag marauder. I want know, are there any better cards that can sacrifice themselves? stuff like sakura-tribe elder that give good value from sacrificing themselves, as i feel vampire hexmage just doesnt do enough in my casual mostly walkerless meta, and these type of creatures work well with lilianas recursion which is based on mana cost.
It's not a self sacrifice, but cards like Mind Slash are very useful with a number of cheap creatures. If you are running out side sac effects you can also run something like Mindsplicer.
Liliana is pretty much the perfect home for Reassembling Skeleton, Bloodghast, Bloodsoaked Champion & co. You'll (hopefully) be running a fair amount of repeatable sac-for-benefit outlets anyway. Mind Slash in particular can be a really gross amount of discard with guys who keep coming back. Yeah, they don't sac themselves, but I've found that it's more valuable in the long run to be able to bring guys back for more sacrifice instead (Liliana will also die a lot, that's just a given for a planeswalker in multiplayer).
Or put in other way: guys that sac themselves for benefit AND are cheap... don't do much. But if you can arrange another sac outlet(not exactly hard in black) with which you can repeatedly sac this certain band of guys that just won't stay dead... then we are on our way to value town. Choo-choo!
