Lifetimer is highly vulnerable to all kinds of Effect Destruction, including obliteration. It can't even be safely returned to hand by the likes of Warp Gate.
Lifetimer does however give you a huge amount of health (though it decrements), so it can be a very useful last resort when you are certain to lose anyway (and as such its extra vulnerability doesn't make you any worse off).
The huge health gain can be put to good use with the likes of Flesh Render and Life Eater.
