Is Rules Lawyer just too over-powered? I mean, you can't lose, your creatures can't die or lose counters, you just can't do anything against him.

You can kill him, he doesn't protect himself. Just get your opponent to zero until you can find removal for a 1/1. I've found that Mandatory Friendship Shackles go pretty late in drafts and there are a couple X/1s in the format.

But it says state-based actions don't apply to you or permanents you control, meaning him as well. So, he can't die via combat dmg, can't die via spells, can't die via... Anything I can think of

He says other permanents you control. Also, destroy and sacrifice effects aren't state-based, so they still work with him on the field.
