@Superllama12: If you Liquimetal a Lich and put a phylactery counter on it, the counter remains even after the Lich reverts to being a nonartifact creature. Thus, he'd be completely indestructible. Unfortunately, you can't Liquimetal a Lich you just cast fast enough to put the counter onto itself because the card says "AS" it enters the battlefield, which means you choose the phylactery as part of the Lich's resolution. Still a good card, though (Vault of Whispers, anyone?).

@ mtghrg once again.
Seriously, try reading the rules, just once, it doesn't take long, although in your case it might. Burn spells cause damage, they do not reduce toughness. If you want to reduce toughness you need to drop -1/-1 counters on it, or use a spell that gives it -X/-X. It's all there in the book mate, just take a browse through it some time, get someone else to help you if you have difficulty with any of the bigger words.

"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 to make it go away...
2. Burn it! 1 lighning bolt + Shock...wow 2 red mana and one burned up lich smokin in a graveyard.
Have you even read the rules of this game?
Lethal damage does not cause an indestructible creature to go to the graveyard, I suggest you learn how to play the game before launching a tirade of such absolute rubbish.

Have to be careful with this guy as I removed his artifact right after he was cast. Putting the counter on a "Darksteel...." whatever is what is going to help save you and keep him on the battlefield.

mtghrg: In response to your essay, I'm going to tap out for an even longer essay--
1. Yes, white and blue control effects that nullify creatures' usefulness w/o trying to outright kill them are a great way to get around Indestructible. See? I'm being nice by starting with what you got right.
This is why you use Harry Potter's Whispersilk Cloak with any creature you intend to attack with in every game ever.
2. Red Burn Spells, Black 'destroy target X' spells, Wrath effects of most variations, and combat damage (i.e., just about every form of killing things in Limited ever, plus a majority of most people's constructed game plans) Do. Not. Work.
3. If an effect uses the '-' sign, either with counters or Dismember/Infest style, it can get rid of Indestructible things. These cards are virtually all Black, and while they are specifically designed as a way to help Black in the mirror because Doom Blade doesn't work, they are fairly easy to get around. In this case, s... (see all)
