This is probably the most powerful/usable Lich effect we've ever received (for comparison: Lich, Nefarious Lich, Lich's Tomb
- Like most Lich effects, it prevents us from dying to damage, but this goes one further - now we don't die to anything at all!
- Like most Lich effects, we turn lifegain into card draw which is VERY exploitable.
- Like most Lich effects, we lose as soon as this leaves the battlefield and we have to lose cards when we lose life to make losing the card itself inevitable...but, this allows us to exile stuff from our 'yard OR our hand OR exile permanents, giving a much better "cushion" on self-defense.
- The saving grace? This has Hexproof, so you don't just insta-die to Naturalize.
Now, this is 6 CMC but 3BBB is a little more usable than BBBB. I don't know if this quite gets there in Standard or Commander but it has real potential.

Please tell me that's not Josu, or I'll have to get this card.
And I mean, the drawback is nasty and all, but how does an Enchantment with Hexproof actually leave the battlefield in Standard? Commander has the likes of Merciless Eviction, but...

It's definitely Josu it's easily him Getting the knight armor from belzenlok
Now the card it'self
I knew it in a blink of an eye that this was going to be the art for this when I saw the dominaria trailer
But it's the best one easy
It's the only one the opponents are banned from shooting it and it's impossible to loose while that's out
And you have every single zone to protect you (except exile)
And you can still do the fractured identity trick if you have one of the three
Approach of the second sun Combos with this it goes seventh down from the top and oh yea you gain seven and life gain is changed to draw so you get it back instaniously
This would be cool in a deck with other dark deals, like Demonic Pact, where YOU become the ultimate monster yourself.
Also, some kind of Prosbloom (Cadaverous Bloom/Prosperity) combo but with Drain Life effects instead of card draw effects. Since becoming a Lich makes drain life into card draw anyway. So, what else is there? Skirge Familiar?
Edit: Also, Phyrexian Unlife stops damage at some point, making only life loss a problem.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it is almost always going to be backed up with Negate.
Well, duh, which is why I'd have a counter or three in hand to back up the Rebuke
Yes please, I'm all for good ol'fashioned counter wars over responsive spells.
At least one person will get to draft this at some point along with Squee, the Immortal. I hope it's me.
