Run multiple Kokusho, the Evening Stars in your deck, have them all go to the graveyard (or just play them), cast this and bam - they'll automatically eliminate each other after reviving due to being legendary and instantly deal a ton of unpreventable damage to your opponent. Run a Iname, Death Aspect too for tutoring.

Just when they thought they had finally gotten rid of your Persist creatures...

Kulrath Knight takes away any drawback this might have had.

I have a White or Black Reanimator deck that uses Living Death, which I slightly prefer over this this.

Pyrrhic Revival 3White or BlackWhite or BlackWhite or Black - Returns all creatures from graveyards with -1/-1 counters.

Living Death 3BlackBlack - Returns all creatures from graveyards, total board-wipe, and the creatures that everyone returns come into play WITHOUT all those -1/-1 counters.

Seems to be just preference, and whether or not you run White in your deck. Both very good cards though.

If you're worried about helping out your opponent, Bojuka Bog can help out :D

Awesome card, yet another amazing rare from Lorwyn block.

What's that, my Necroskitter missed a few of your creatures? How about a do-over?

My name is Melira, Sylvok Outcast, and I approve this message.

I'm disappointed nobody brought it up. Grave Pact and Martyr's Bond are both in color, and combo so wonderfully with weenies. Quillspike and Heartmender are mostly in color too.
enjoy

Play with a lot of undying creatures, play this, then wrath of god (probably after a fog (or a white equivalent) on their turn). Undying lets all your stuff come back (and come back again if need-be), and all their stuff is gone. If you can't win in that position...

Well, this card's name is one of the most strange, at least in the Modern era... I don't recall another card that recall a real mundane person. Wizards don't like to put real life quote in flavour text (at least in expansions, in core sets can be ok), but put a name in a card's name...

Known who was Pyrrhus, the flavour of this card is really daunting! Plus, the art is wonderful! Richard Kane Ferguson for you people!

5/5
