A deck that focuses on graveyard recursion and reanimation strategies would benefit from including Havengul Lich, as it provides a versatile way to cast creatures from the graveyard and gain their activated abilities. While there may be other cards with similar effects, Havengul Lich's ability to mimic the activated abilities of the targeted creature can lead to powerful synergies and unexpected plays, making it a strong contender for inclusion in decks that can take advantage of its unique abilities.

Rules

10/04/19

Havengul Lich gains the activated abilities of the card as it existed in the graveyard while that card is still a spell on the stack.

04/15/13

Havengul Lich’s ability changes the zone you are permitted to cast the card from, not the times you are permitted to cast it. You can cast a creature card that has been targeted by Havengul Lich from the graveyard, but unless it has flash, you can only do so if it’s your main phase, the stack is empty, and you have priority.

01/22/11

Havengul Lich’s activated ability creates a delayed triggered ability that triggers when you cast the creature card. This triggered ability will go on the stack on top of the creature spell and will resolve before the creature spell will.
