I wish I owned this card. It's so beautiful. It cries out for me to make a beautiful painting of a deck with it as the subject. I need it...eternal life will be mine! And not a soul alive can stop me!
Huh...so that's how it happens...

@psyklone Worship doesn't work as it doesn't affect the damage, just your life total.
I still contend, to this very day, that that the best combo for Lich is Illusions of Grandeur. If you can't figure our how to win after drawing TWENTY FREAKING CARDS, your deck was destined to fail.

One of those cards that challenges people to figure out ways to totally break it.

@Kurhan - you can't sacrifice the soldiers you get from Darien, you have to sacrifice nontoken creatures.

@Kurhan-Nice thought, but the Lich requires nontonken sacrifices to feed its bloodlust.

A lich without a Privileged Position is a sorry lich indeed.
One of several Lich cards which effectually say, "if you're going to lose the game, you might as well go in a really cool and spectacular way."

I remember back in the day I started playing (Fallen Empires/Revised), my friends thought this was the stupidest card ever, because playing it meant you immediately lost the game.
Upon reflection, I see the original text does not seem to state anywhere that you now do not lose the game anymore for having 0 or less life...

@psyklone
Actually no- if you had actually bothered to read the rulings on Worship, you would have noticed that Worship does not prevent damage, and Lich's third ability triggers when you take damage. So you still have to sacrifice permanents (probably Worship- since it's pretty worthless with Lich in play).
All that this combo accomplishes is prevent your life total from dropping into the negatives.

This + Worship means whenever you take damage you dont sac anything (and the first time, you actually get to draw).
