Platinum Angelprotection$8.10Like Lich's Tomb, it prevents you from losing the game, letting you stay alive through otherwise fatal game states. It is a classic survivability artifact in the same “can’t lose” space.Platinum Emperionprotection$18.85This also locks your life total from changing, which can blunt many life-loss and damage-based lines. It serves a similar defensive function, though it does not allow you to play at 0 life.Angel's Graceprotection$8.85A strong emergency safety valve that stops you from losing the game for the turn and prevents your life total from dropping below 1. It fills a similar anti-death role for a much lower cost.Phyrexian UnlifeprotectionBudget$0.46This creates a parallel state where you can survive at low or negative life without immediately losing. It overlaps heavily with Lich's Tomb in letting you function through life-total collapse.Soul ConduitutilityBudget$0.63While not a direct replacement, it can reset life totals to keep you from dying and pairs well with life-loss strategies. It plays in the same weird survivability space as Lich effects.The One Ringprotection$108.46It can buy several turns of invulnerability via protection from everything, helping you survive while setting up. It is not the same mechanic, but it serves a comparable defensive, game-stalling role.Repay in Kindutility$6.89This can drag opponents down to your precarious life total, which can make a low-life plan safer if you are building around not caring about life total. It is more of a combo support card than a true substitute, but it lives in the same axis.Necropotencecard_draw$35.01It is a premier life-as-resource card that rewards operating at dangerously low life totals. It does not prevent losing, but it strongly overlaps with the strategic intent behind Lich's Tomb.
