Trying to use the classic Lich from every angle. Not meant to win many games but to basically give opponents that sudden dread when things come together badly. There is no protection for Lich in this deck and things could end quickly to a disenchant.
Combos:Lich
+
Mirror Universe
A classic that never gets old.
Lich + Repay in Kind
Okay, so maybe this is better in some situations, especially multi-player.
Death's Shadow
+
Lich
Sure, someone can chump block, but it starts out as a 13/13 for a single black and only gets better from there. Per Gatherer, if your life goes negative it continues to grow.
Lich
+
Platinum Angel
A spendy combo if ever there was one. Allows you to take your lich off the table if you need to.
Grave Pact
+
Lich
Things go from bad to worse for your opponents.
Last Laugh
+
Lich
+
Lich's Mirror
Beware the cascade. As you start to send your permanants to the graveyard with Lich, you create more damage sending more to the graveyard. Continue until only Lich, Last Laugh, and Lich's Mirror remain and toss your Lich. You die, so shuffle your library and start anew while everyone else is reeling or dead.
The mana curve is currently screwy and I need to work on that. I think it is because I am still trying to keep some creatures instead of just dedicating myself to the Lich concept. I need to get some lower CMC cards and drop some stuff from the 4 drop area.
Essentially, there are better card draw mechanics than Lich, so this deck is trying more to take advantage of the zero life total without dying and giving interesting interactions.
