Lich are you for real! Are you telling me this deck has every card with Lich in its name currently in standard! And it has lich's Mastery as the center piece, there's no way that could be good! And it isn't... but it is super cheap (in terms of money) and fun to use. So get ready to watch as all of your opponents check what Lich's Mastery even does... I bet you just did it too.

Part 1: Becoming a Lich Master

This deck revolves around the cards Lich's Mastery and Azor's Gateway // Sanctum of the Sun. The idea is to play Lich's Mastery the turn you flip Azor's Gateway allowing you to gain 5 life, draw 5 cards, and gain a lot of black mana! And Azor's Gateway is the reason the mana curve is so flat, to allow us to easily get 5 cards of different mana costs exiled (or at least that's the excuse I'm gonna give).

Part 2: Lich's Mastery Support

Lich's Mastery gives us good card draw if we can gain life consistantly. Cards like Fountain of Renewal, Lich's Caress, and Swarm Guildmage give life gain, card draw with Lich's Mastery, and mana with Azor's Gateway!

However, Lich's Mastery also has a draw back, and it's that it requires you to exile cards from your field, hand, or graveyard when you lose life. So we just fill the graveyard before Lich's Mastery hits the table, with cards like Glowspore Shaman and Underrealm Lich. And if they destroy all enchantments, well good game... sorry, I don't know how to stop that.

Part 3: Actually Winning the Game

Our primary win condition is Josu Vess, Lich Knight who can put the massive amount of mana produced by Azor's Gateway // Sanctum of the Sun to good use by making eight 2/2 zombies. Josu is also a fairly powerful creature even when he is not kicked being a 4/5 with menace.

The other creature that may help you win is Storrev, Devkarin Lich who lets you pull the powerful creatures you threw into the graveyard back onto the battlefield.

Part 4: Other Cards

Some of the cards don't quite fall into the above categories like Molderhulk who can be exiled with Azor's Gateway since he is the only 9 CMC creature in the deck while actually being much easier to cast than his mana cost would let on, also a 6/6 is pretty beefy.

Leyline Prowler gives mana to play your powerful cards like lich's Mastery or Josu Vess. While also having lifelink which synergizes well with Lich's Mastery.

Phylactery Lich is in the deck mainly so that the deck has all the lichs in it, but is also a powerful creauture that can be hard to remove if the opponent lacks artifact removal, just remember not to sacrifice your Fountain of Renewal if it has a phylactery counter on it. 

Part 5: Feed Back

If you think there is a card that will work well in this deck or you have a cheaper alternative to a card in here be sure to leave a comment!
