What it does

If you would draw a card, instead look at the top three cards of your library, then put one into your hand and the rest into your graveyard.

Pay 4 life: This creature gains indestructible until end of turn. Tap it.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2018-10-05

    You can activate Underrealm Lich's last ability even if it's already tapped. It can't be tapped again, but it still gains indestructible.

  • 2018-10-05

    Underrealm Lich's first ability applies even if you have fewer than three cards in your library. If you have no cards in your library, you can't lose the game for trying to draw a card from an empty library.

  • 2018-10-05

    If an effect instructs you to draw multiple cards, each draw is performed—and replaced by Underrealm Lich's ability—one at a time. This means that if you're drawing two cards, you'll look at the top three cards of your library, put one into your hand, put the other two into your graveyard, and then repeat the process with the next three cards in your library.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Underrealm Lich

4 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly. A printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall publishes none for some of them. Click a card's art to chart that version's price above.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Underrealm Lich. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
