Liliana, Death's Majesty
The reanimation planeswalker whose +1 actively builds toward its own ultimate. Most graveyard-recursion engines force a choice between fueling the yard and advancing a plan; here the plus-one does both at once, dropping a 2/2 Zombie blocker while milling two cards the minus-three can later pull back to the battlefield. That self-mill is the engine: each tick of loyalty produces both a body and a reanimation target, so the card stocks a graveyard and develops a board on the same turn without ever touching a hand or library you don't control. The minus-three is the payload, and the Zombie clause is not flavor decoration. By stamping the returned creature with the Zombie type, the ultimate's board wipe spares exactly the things this planeswalker has been making. Destroy all non-Zombie creatures reads as symmetrical, but every token from the plus-one and every body the minus-three has reanimated is exempt by construction. The reanimated creature comes back at its printed stats: the alignment is about type, not size, a token generator that funnels its own products into a one-sided wrath. The three abilities are not a grab-bag of black effects but a single loop pointed at the same finish. It sits in the lineage of black planeswalkers that close through the graveyard rather than through direct damage, asking the deck to mill itself on purpose so the dead can be called back.
