I'm pretty sure mtghrg doesn't understand the rules of the game. No, Phylactery Lich won't die to damage. No indestructible creature will die to damage.

@kolomeha typically the only zones you control objects are the battlefield and the stack, (the only exceptions are Planes, Vanguards, Schemes and Emblems in the command zone, which you can also control).
So to answer your question, Phylactery Lich would be sacrificed since Skullbriar would not be controlled by you in the graveyard or the command zone as your general, even though it still has the phylactery counter on it.
109.4 from the Comprehensive Rules

Basically he's a leatherback baloth that's triple black instead of triple green, and dies to artifact removal instead of creature removal (yeah, he's indestructible and baloth, but given 5 toughness it's pretty hard to kill him anyway). While artifact removal is not as common, if your artifact does die you just got 2-for-1'd.

Unless scars has an indestructible and cheap artifact, I doubt this guy will make a big impact. I think he'll be fine for the first game in a set, but be prepared to board him out when your opponent boards in artifact hate.
