Kokusho, the Evening Star

Description

This Magic: The Gathering trading card game card is finished with a premium foil treatment that highlights its status within the MMA set code release. As a Legendary Creature — Dragon Spirit, the card commands a mana cost of {4}{B}{B} and enters the battlefield with a formidable 5/5 power and toughness. The strategic value of this card lies in its impactful ability. While it possesses flying for evasion, its true power is realized when it leaves the battlefield. Upon its death, the card triggers a life exchange effect: each opponent loses 5 life, and the controller gains life equal to the total amount lost by their opponents. This mechanic makes it a significant swing potential in games, turning a creature's removal into a decisive advantage. The flavor text, "The fall of the evening star never heralds a gentle dawn," complements the aggressive nature of its game text. Designed by artist Tsutomu Kawade, this version is sought after by collectors who appreciate the high-rarity finish and the iconic status of the card within the Magic universe. Whether used for competitive deck construction or added to a collection of premium foil cards, the Modern Masters iteration offers a striking presentation of one of the game’s most resilient spirits. The card’s black color identity and six mana value place it in a specific strategic niche, appealing to players who build around high-cost, high-impact creatures. For enthusiasts of the TCG, securing this foil variant provides a tangible connection to the 2013 reprint era.
