...seems weak? and a little expensive?
Maybe drop down to 1UUBBGR ; harder double cost; but less expensive (not that it matters in EDH by that much.) Thinking also about making it a 6/8 instead; but I feel like the 8 - power better encompasses the power of a Archlich.
That last ability is just nasty and unfun, especially with so many options for payment.

I know :D Every big cycle like this needs to have one REALLY nasty card; for example _ Vorinclex; of the Paretor cylce. They are all pretty nasty, but Vorinclex is just a dick. Or Slyvan Primordial/Prime Time, etc...
one of the 5 is always just, a DICK.
There's being a nasty card, and then there's Zur's Weirding, famous for making people never gain any more cards at all in conjunction with anything like Honden of Cleansing Fire.
Honden is'nt legal in this guys EDH deck :D Also, this only effects the first card they would draw; with EDH's tenacity to draw more then one card a turn, I think its fair.
But that won't help unless you already have the multi-draw card available at the moment the opponent cast this, because you can bet this thing's controller will prevent you drawing any more of them. And okay, the white Honden isn't available, but there are any number of things that do work, including the green or blue Hondens with any other out.
That is true; but this was designed for that sort of "dickbaggery" player; I could re-balance it a little higher on the cost (3 perms; 3 cards; or 5 life?)
This isn't going to be fun no matter what the cost. Vorinclex is quite easy to deal with. If you don't already have a way of dealing with this, you never will.
On flip side; this IS an 8 cost 8 power creature. I mean, sure - if you can't deal with it immediately; you can't ever deal with it. But if you can't deal with it, how much longer is the game gonna go on anyway?
seems like four separate mashed together to fit the colors of the card. not to mention fun factor is in the negative. all dick cards should have an out. even vorinclex can be played around. zur's weirding affects all players; with Honden it's a two-card combo.
Personally I'd try to choose a different ability; it is possible to have a range of nasty abilities without quite so blatantly locking your opponents out of the game. Vitenka does have a fair point, though. (Although I'd note that Iona, Shield of Emeria, a somewhat similar card, was reanimated a lot more than she was cast.)
Oh, I just realized why you guys think this is a real dick card; I forgot to add that that player draws a card to replace the exiled one!
SORRY!!
