Title: Good card for Phylactery Lich
Post by: Mikefrompluto on September 12, 2012, 02:18:26 PM
So I have a couple {phylactery lich}es that I want to put in my {B}{U} zombie/blood artist deck and was wondering what would be a good artifact to go with it. I thought about {tormod's crypt} but it's too conditional and becomes a dead card if they aren't playing off of their graveyard. I'd prefer something I could also use if I needed to. Any suggestions and tips are welcome.

Forgot to mention that I'm looking for standard cards.

FYI, the pool of artifacts in Standard is going to plummet when Mirrodin block rotates out in beginning of Oct.

Completely forgot about {stuffy doll}. Thanks.

I just did a search in Card Database: 'indestructible', search in Text only, type Artifact, format Standard.

I like Stuffy, but the benefit of the Lich is the aggressive {B}{B}{B} cost.  You want it to hit the table T3, so we should look for {2} and less. 

{Inquisitor's Flail} looks mighty good on an indestructable 5/5.  ;)

{Ring of Xathrid} will keep it growing, but the regen part is a waste.

{Executioner's Hood} maybe

I dunno, I'd check the cheap equipment for ideas.

I'm thinking equipment and all those are viable. Hardly anyone uses equipment I've noticed, so no one is prepared to deal with it. {tormentor's trident} is also looking nice. Forcing it to attack is a bit of a drawback, but as you said, the point is for it to be aggressive. Thanks for the suggestions!
