# Phylactery Lich Phylactery Lich represents a unique design space in Magic's history—a creature that fundamentally changes how you build around it. Rather than being powerful on its own, the card demands deck construction choices, asking you to include an artifact specifically to protect it from being sacrificed. This creates an interesting puzzle that appeals to brewers and casual players more than competitive ones. Collectors appreciate Phylactery Lich for its distinctive mechanical identity and striking artwork. The M13 printing exists in standard nonfoil and foil versions, with foils commanding modest premiums. The card maintains steady collector interest due to its role in niche Commander strategies and casual formats, making it a reliable hold for those building thematic collections around artifact-focused decks.
