Or an Ape and a Hound, or 2 Black Hands...lol. 

(These statements edited out in order to prevent confusion) i.e. - They were incorrect!

Fun Times ahead!

I don’t think that you could still draw a card after saccing the Shell for a +1/+1 counter. BUT, if you sac the shambling shell with damage on the stack you can dredge it back to our hand. I think her ability could be most abused my soulshift. WBR is coming!

You’re right - I had it confused in my mind as a triggered ability like Savra’s, my fault.  (edited)

Lyzolda is pretty crazy.  How’s that for your missing 3-drop for Burning Bob?

i think ive found the 3 drop.

Wow she’s awesome. That’s just so nutty - and wait to see what staple black/red creatures can be her fodder. I think she’s the best guild champion so far. Teysa’s probably 2nd with Savra 3rd, or switch those.

Go go rakdos, this is just what they need.

I hope it’s true that every snowflake is unique, because I never want to see one like this again.

Does she actually do the damage (red effect) if she sacrifices herself?  It says that SHE deals the damage to a target, but if she’s not in play I’m not sure that this ability will resolve.  You’d definitely still draw a card.  Does anyone know for sure?

You select targets before paying costs, so the game would need to know if you are going to have to target something before you pay the cost.  In other words, yes, if you sacrifice her to herself, you get to deal 2 damage and draw a card.  It works like Bloodshot Cyclops, which can sacrifice itself to its own ability and uses the LKI of whatever is being put into the graveyard.  This ability is a little different (since it’s looking at a color to determine whether it does something at all, not how much it does), so I think we’ll have to check the FAQ to be certain, but this is how it would appear to be for now.

EDIT: A quick check of Gatherer shows that no other card has the wording “if the sacrificed creature” on it, meaning this is the first time a card has a ability that works this way.  Hopefully the FAQ will address exactly how this works, but I’m still guessing you’ll get the 2 damage and the card.

I like it!  Block, kill something, sack her, do two damage and draw a card for a total of 5 mana.  So many ways to abuse her power

Lyzolda must be the name of the other Legend for BR.

YAY!!!

I think this card is amazing limited and even playable in standard. Easily a game finisher for some quick aggro deck or a good stabailizer for a b/r card adavantage deck.
