Combo:
1. Cast Sanguine Bond
2. Oblivion Ring it out
3. Cast Lich's Mirror
4. Get below 0 life ASAP to win.
What happens?
Since you drop below 0 life the Mirror resolves and you shuffle it and all permanents you own into your library, but the leaving Oblivion Ring will bring back the Sanguine Bond and when you're set to 20 life, the lifegain will make your opponent lose 20 life. :)

Since this doesn't reset general damage in EDH, if you stole this from someone and got killed by general damage it would draw the game. The mirror wouldn't get shuffled in because it isn't yours and you'd perpetually try to lose the game.
@TheWrathOfShane you should take a look at Acquire.

If I had this card, I would do this:
"hey, can I buy that emrakul you just summoned? I'll pay you twenty bucks."
"Sure!"
*dies by emrakul, is shuffled into my deck because I now own it*
"WHEEEEEE!!!"

I am going to build a deck around this even if it kills me. Get it? Kills me..... Tough crowd. Try Arc Blade or Restore Balance

This is one of only a few cards that actually replaces a state-based effect. A state-based effect is something that the game itself does to make sure things happen right. So, imagine, if you will, a game wherein you have the mirror in play. How do you break a card that leaves you defenceless? You don't let it resolve. You cast an Ad Nauseum while at whatever life. Lose some life for the top card, and continue. Lose more life, and continue. Until finally you drop to zero or less. Oops, you just lost! But wait, the Lich's Mirror sees what it's triggered by and does it's thing. But it's in the middle of a spell resolving... Normally once you drop to zero or less a state-based effect stops the game entirely and it's over, but the Lich's Mirror replaces that with not dying... In the middle of the Ad Nauseum. "What happens?" Might you be asking. I'm not really sure because the Oracle is down right now, but as it stands, the Ad Nauseum is resolving, which means nothing can be added to the sta... (see all)

In order to win you must use some means may it be counters as suck or indestructible effects/shroud to keep this alive and never lose. Platinum Angel plus this is ultimate.

Sorry AgesofThunder you are wrong. The oracle entry for Lich's Mirror says this:
For your life total to become 20, you actually gain or lose the necessary amount of life. Keep in mind that you may have a negative life total when this happens. For example, if your life total is -4 when you would lose the game, Lich's Mirror's effect will cause you to gain 24 life. Other cards that interact with life gain or life loss will interact with this effect accordingly.
