Liliana - Uses the Veil to control the Dreadhorde

He watched her don the Chain Veil, its burnished-gold links glinting in the sun. Gideon bit his lip. The Veil increased Liliana’s power, but that power had come very close to killing her. And he wasn’t always sure just how much she controlled it—or it controlled her.

Still, if any scenario calls for taking that risk…

The Veil covered most of her face. But even at this distance, he could see—and more so feel—its mystic energy flow through and about her. The etchings on her exposed skin—forehead, chest and fingers—began to glow purple. Her eyes began to glow purple behind the Veil. He could see the power rippling off her. He could hear Liliana Vess scream.

She’s doing it…

He turned toward the Eternals. Their eyes glowed purple, too. As one, the marching Dreadhorde halted and turned to look at their mistress.

She’s taken control of them. She’ll use them as a weapon against the dragon…

But then, with a clear wave of her arm, the Eternals turned to march toward the citizens of Ravnica, still recovering from the portal’s destruction and staring as the approaching Dreadhorde closed in.
