Kheru Lich Lord

Creature — Zombie Wizard

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may pay {2}{B}. If you do, return a creature card at random from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains flying, trample and haste. Exile that card at the beginning of your next end step. If it would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else.

I have replaced Fungal Shambler and Kheru Lich Lord with Indulgent Tormentor and Sheoldred, Whispering One, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.73 to 3.71, which is very nice, since the newer cards better fit the theme of this deck.

As a 4/4 for 6 mana across three colors, Kheru Lich Lord needs a strong ability to justify its cost, and I don't believe it has one. It costs three additional mana to have any more utility than a vanilla creature, and the randomness and lack of repeatability make it very unreliable. It also directly competes with The Mineoplasm. Fungal Shambler is better, and probably close to on par with Indulgent Tormentor and Demon of Loathing. Sheoldred, Whispering One is by far the best option of what's listed. There's some tension with the commander, but it's mild and temporary, and I think the battlefield control more than makes up for it.

I have an EDH deck with The Mimeoplasm as its general, and I have both Fungal Shambler and Kheru Lich Lord in that deck, but I am not certain if I should keep those cards in that deck, since I am not certain how well they work with the theme of the deck, so I certainly would appreciate any feedback that anyone here can offer any feedback, on this matter.

I am contemplating those creatures with creatures such as Indulgent Tormentor, Demon of Loathing, or Sheoldred, Whispering One, but I certainly would be interested to hear any other suggestions that other users of this forum may have to offer.

What does everyone else say about this? Should I keep Kheru Lich Lord and Fungal Shambler in my The Mimeoplasm EDH deck, or replace them with creatures that better fit the theme of the deck?

Does Kheru Lich Lord work with the theme of this deck? I am not entirely certain that it does, so I may wish to replace it, at some point.

Kheru Lich Lord

Creature - Zombie Wizard

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may pay . If you do, return a creature card at random from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gets +2/+0 and gains flying, trample, and haste. Exile that card at the beginning of your next upkeep. If it would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else.

4/4

If you're returning a card at random, and you're going to essentially require an attack with it, at least make it a viable attacker. If you're also going to charge a down payment of six mana across three colors just to get access to an ability that still needs three more mana to use, it should get the opportunity to block, too.

So naturally, I ended up as many of these through Sealed/Draft than all fetchlands combined.

It’s always worth checking the gatherer page for cards in question to see if additional rulings are there that might answer your question. From the gatherer page for Kheru Lich Lord:

9/20/2014 If a creature card returned to the battlefield with Kheru Lich Lord would leave the battlefield for any reason, it’s exiled instead. However, if that creature is already being exiled, then the replacement effect won’t apply. If the spell or ability that exiles it later returns it to the battlefield (as Suspension Field might, for example), the creature card will return to the battlefield as a new object with no relation to its previous existence. The effects from Kheru Lich Lord will no longer apply to it.

You will keep the creature at the end of your turn. When the delayed trigger from Kheru Lich Lord triggers, it can't find the creature that was brought back with the first part of the ability, so it does nothing. The reason for this is that when a creature (or any anything) moves zones it creates a new object. This new object is distinct from one that was brought back originally.

Importantly, when the creature that gets blinked comes back, it won't have Trample, Flying, and Haste from the Lich. Again, because it's a different object and is unaffected by the ability of the Lich.

Hope this helps!!

If i use a card like Kheru Lich Lord to return a creature and blink it in my turn using Escape Protocol, does the creature return as usual so i can keep it?
