Put the counter on worldslayer and then equip worldslayer to him. Good game!

He's a 5/5 for 3 mana. Ignoring him being indestructible, that's pretty amazing. Black rarely gets cards on the curve, and even more rarely gets them above it.
Sure, he has a drawback of requiring an artifact to survive, but it's an interesting and flavorful drawback, and one that makes the game interesting. Your opponent can't destroy him in the ordinary fashion, but he has the option to destroy the artifact/remove the counter.

There are a lot of generic artifacts in this set. I am interested in what will come of this. Love the {B}{B}{B}

Could be really good or really bad. It depends on how much love Black gets in Scars.

@infernox10, comon man, hard to remove artifacts? it's a counter... Æther Snap, Vampire Hexmage, and the nice Acidic Slime...
@1919, Dark Ritual? For a turn 1 invincible 5/5'er? I might start putting these in my sleeves... =-P Also the cheapest cmc for a land destroyers were 4. While the cheapest is either Sinkhole for 2 black.

@ concerned fool...read the rules yourself...
Lethal damage, damage from a source with deathtouch, and effects that say "destroy" won't cause an indestructible creature to be put into the graveyard. However, an indestructible creature can be put into the graveyard for a number of reasons. The most likely reasons Phylactery Lich would be put into a graveyard are if it's sacrificed (perhaps due to its last ability), or if its toughness is 0 or less.
Therefore the rules of the game work like this...lightning bolt + shock aimed at the lich reduces his toughness to 0...therefore it is not rubbish its a direct interpetation of the rules
I love hyped JANK...This card is one of the best representations of great artwork gone to waste on a useless card. A true "paper tiger" looks beautiful but its flawed game mechanics are glaring...
"Indestructible" I think not...A great card if you want to waste space in your deck and get a turn or two behind casting him out.. Four easy and cheap ways... (see all)

My friend got this guy mixed up then he told me about it it was the same except it was indestructible with the phylactery the counter on the artifact and no sacrifice wording. Which was overpowered but then I thought it wouldn't really matter vampires have just screwed the black creature diversity over
