The Immortal Ancient Lich

Ancient Lich is a bounty edition monster as amazing as it sounds, legendary with magic attack at 3 to max level, containing only 3 health and 1 speed, but so where is the benefit of use this monster at that cost? Simply taking advantage of its Life Leech ability which steals the opponent's life depending on the damage dealt, as this monster has the attack of 3 without any other bonus it gets the steal of 2 points per attack as long as the monster has 2 or more points to be stolen for us, I have used it a lot in modern battles from Silver to Gold and when you have the possibility of the Blast rule it becomes a life stealing machine.

I personally like to use "the 3 thieves" which consists of a battle in composition of:

In both I prefer to use them at level 2 or 3 since they don't receive such a big change in their attributes or any attractive ability, I place them in this order from the penultimate position to the front: Ancient Lich - Life Sapper - Venari Bonesmith, Life Sapper is the most fragile monster of this strategy so it can't be last to receive an attack or be the first to reach the front line to be the focus of attacks, the good thing is that they are cards cheap to buy or rent depending on your choice.

The Battle

In both battles, the main focus was to leave our 3 "giant" life stealers until the others were eliminated, taking away the possibility of our enemy eliminating them sooner than expected with Opportunity, Snipe or Sneak skills and then my best recommendation for those who want to use them of this strategy is to immediately acquire the Dark Ha-On tank that contains the Taunt skill in addition to a great amount of health, also use the Mimosa Nightshade summoner so that we have support against magical attacks such as happened in the second battle and if it hadn't been for that our tank would have been eliminated sooner than expected.

The rest of the team doesn't matter, several of your options or guesses of what you'll face, for example my use of Undead Rex was that he uses that damn unicorn that besides having an attack and high health, he comes from Void that would cancel the theft of my 2 monsters and spoil my strategy, defeating him as soon as possible was necessary so Rex's high attack with his survivability thanks to the summoner's bonuses would guarantee me victory even in this situation.
