Traumatize yourself first and follow up with Living Death for half of your creatures on the field in one fell swoop.

Living Death came first, Living end is similar to this, and was a tribute to this classic and beloved card

Step 1: cast this Step 2: recite Black Lantern Oath Step 3: ????? Step 4: You were expecting profit? Zombies take over the world! You Lose! (But they die too, and Black will do anything to kill its opponent, even lose the game!!11 xD xD XD)
jk about the 'Lose the Game' bit. That was a zombie joke. Really though, it's a great card, and you should win if it resolves and you set it up right.

This card is CRAZY good in Devour for Power. First you cast The Mimeoplasm and exile the two most dangerous creatures in your opponents' graveyards, minimizing the benefit it will grant to anyone but you. Then, once The Mimeoplasm eats a faceful of removal (which shouldn't be long because it's a very popular target), you cast this, bring all your fatties back, and have The Mimeoplasm copy whatever you killed.
So smooth.

This card is amazing if played well, but it has a huge weakness in that you usually kill peoples creatures before you play it and if you happened to kill a few dragons they come back and blow up your face. I like it but I personally wouldn't use it much unless I had a very large advantage or a crap ton of morbid.

This card is so fun late game in EDH, when nobody really knows what's in the graveyard anymore. Four players, eleven creatures each with so many effects resolving everywhere.

Do you actually mean, "Actually, very similar"? Because they are sans the suspend effect.
I was in a 6-player EDH (Or Commander) game, and late game after lots of death happened, I cast this. There was so much ETB effects on creatures like Mulldrifter, Duplicant, Clone, Eternal Witnesses and about 40 other shenanigans, that 4 people just quit on the spot because they didn't want to deal with the mess. Good times. Anyway, 5/5, perfect for the Mimeoplasm.

Umm.... Living End is a homage to Living Death. Living Death was originally printed in Tempest and considered amazing, Living End was printed much after in Time Spiral and is one of several cards in Time Spiral that referenced good cards from Magic's past.
Any way, an awesome card which can very quickly tilt the game to the caster's favor.
Played an EDH game last night against two friends. I asked em which deck I should use, they said my mill deck..... They both had this card. I lost gloriously.

Once, my brick-headed opponent cast this trying to wipe my board. He didn't notice I had a way to sacrifice everything in response to it (Greater Gargadon), so all he achieved was triggering all my ETB effects once again. Excluding those rare backfirings, it is a win condition in any properly built deck.
Comibe this with Urabrask the Hidden in you're graveyard. Big smile followed by the statement "I win!". Seriously, this card gave me a turn 3 win in my re-animate deck. I cast two Frantic Search followed by a Dark Ritual then Living Death. Urabrask, Avacyn, Gisela, and like 3 other creatures hit the table. It was goodly.
I remember playing with my white solider deck vs my best friend. Through a combination of what could have been called tactical brilliance on my side, and tactical idiocy on his, I manged to wipe out almost his entire field.
I pass, expecting him to surrender. Instead, instead he grins, a maniacal, evil, soul-chilling grin.
He taps 4 swamps, and 3 mountains, flings his last creature at me for 4 damage.
His laughs grow louder.
Then this is slammed on the table, with all of the awful authority of the first nail driving into the coffin.
1 minute - and multiple nails into my coffin - later I turned that little 20 sided dice onto the side with that white "0" marked into it.

Hiw does this work with multiple evolve creatures who enter the battle simultaniously
Often this is the perfect response to a wrath of god in black aggro. Several reasons: -They wrathed because you were ahead -Black has the best gravehate. If you simply bojuka bog main deck you'll likely face little resistance while gaining back your whole board -Wrath is sometimes used when they are unaffected (indestructible or some such). This kills *anything*. -Wrath is usually followed with a fatty. Because of that; this guy kills the fatness when it's dropped while preparing you to win the game.
Might I suggest Putrid Imp, Oona's Prowler, Abyssal Persecutor, and Geralf's? Following a curve like that with the appropriate kill or sacrifice cards handy should take the game quite quickly; Living Death just gives you a backup plan.
Best part is? If you didn't need to use it Game 1 (in a tourny) then it's likely they won't side in grave hate.

Goes great with Noxious Ghoul. Clear the board with Mutilate, and then bring back a hoard of zombies thus killing off your opponents creatures. And if you happen to have a Grave Betrayal out on the field...

Step 2: recite Black Lantern Oath

If someone wouldn't called Living End similar to Living Death, then Doom Blade is in no way related to Go for the Throat, or Diabolic Tutor has no relation to Demonic Tutor
Anyway, 5/5, perfect for the Mimeoplasm.

And then to deal with the other players graveyard:
Bojuka Bog, Tormod's Crypt, Nihil Spellbomb, Gravestorm
