Rick, Kokushos _do_ work. What do you think will happen if 2 of the same legendary permanent are on the battlefield at the same time? Yeah, they're both sacrificed.

Kokushos wont work like that. need to go into the graveyard from play for the life gain. But this card is what black is all about. Super sweet.

This card is so good it has so many uses they are impossible to list. if you can get the mana together i like to play this then Urborg Justice to to really screw your opponent over!

Fabulus card for a living death/hermit druid deck

A few words for you: Spirit of the Night, Devouring Strossus, Demonic Hordes, etc. Basically good for any black deck that uses the graveyard as a main source of creatures.

if you played this card then you know what i mean. this is probably the best black card ever.when i first started playing magic i put a living death deck together.5 years later i still have the same deck.its that deadly! espically now with anger around,do i smell devouring strossus anyone?
