If you would lose the game, instead shuffle your hand, your graveyard and all permanents you own into your library, then draw seven cards and your life total becomes 20.

Brass Man does not untap as normal; you must pay 1during your upkeep phase to untap it.
Wow, amazing, Lich's Mirror is like a Platinum Angel, in the sense that you have to take it out to win the game.
Though it's weaker in the sense that it doesn't put a big beater on the board, and, more importantly, also weaker in the sense that you will still likely lose shortly after you "lose" the first time, since you'll have no permanents on board and will be far beyond on development compared to your opponent, and those seven new cards may not be enough. On the other hand, in close games, where your opponent also has very little offense on the board, this might buy you enough time to get back in the game.
But yeah, definitely a truly astounding design; it definitely seems like this is one of the best-designed cards in the set. Really nice jawdropping effect that will really help market the set and appear "awesome" even if it's not really actually all the awesome.

- Jon Finkel believes in maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. He gets all his fiber from eating Magic cards for breakfast, and all his protein from eating Magic players for lunch.

omgwtfbbq?!? For 5? Seems good surprisingly. Bye-Bye Platinum Angel.
I am not sure how good it seems. I mean you lose all your land, everything. If theyve got creatures on the board you better draw something fast. As the mirror is gone too and they are just going to kill you quick. Its cute, but its crap.

It's comforting to know that some mythics aren't immediate tournament staples.
That said, this card presents a great twist on the whole lich-type immortality gig. You give up time. Genius.
Cards with Lich in the names almost always give you some sort of immortality, but in return you quickly waste away some other resource. This basically resets your side of the game, because your opponent doesn't get the reset. :)) It's crap, but I like it.
That looks hella-fun, and may even see some competitive play. It's cheaper and less vulnerable than Platinum Angel, AND refills your hand. You can't even lose by decking yourself. Nuts.
You know, after my initial reaction, I realized that this is horrid.
Your opponent most likely has a winning board position, and you are going back to turn 1.
Yea...

hmm...this card is begging to be broken. I think it might see a little bit of action, but it seems like a filler card.

Maybe if you could somehow flicker it out in response to its ability it'd be useful enough to play... aside from that, sets you up to die soon after it activates. Not exactly inspiring (not that lich-related cards ever are).
Yeah, if you're playing this... you're basically going to run stall, mill, mega removal, and cheap counters. Looks like Turbosmog might have found it's brand new friend.

And that's a wrap, there's our mythic artifact!
Reread the card and decided to be glad its mythic lol.

Now to somehow give it shroud...
Pretty darn playable as well I might add...
(IT SHUFFLES IN AND YOU HAVE NO PERMANENTS. YOUR OPPONENT WILL DEAL 20 DAMAGE BEFORE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.
Other than some really obscure combo involving floating a bunch of mana and commiting suicide, no.
its MEH
i mean, for example, the elf-ball player just slammed you in the face causing you to lose.
then this artifact starts to work.
you stat from the beginning then draw seven cards.
you put a land and you say done.
next turn they'll smack you again in the face.
whats so amazing with this?
i'd rather play sure-shot spells other than this one.:-/

She was on the phone and hung up when I showed her.
Ok this card is beastly, obviously grixis in flavor.
