Cool Art, I pulled a foil. Not practical, should be 5/5 for a bit less. I mean how many legends are u gonna have in a deck if youre not playing kamigawa???!!!

I kinda agree, at this cost this guy won't find much use. You don't really want a big body, there are better option out there, you want his ability. But for seven mana? C'mon, this effect isn't seriously exploitable anywhere, you'll have a hard time building a deck with many legendary permanents that synergizes nicely.
This would be more playable if it returned the cards back to play at the end of turn (possibly for a slight cost), it would make the card even powerful. But like that? No, thanks...

Leyline of Singularity makes him more useful but its double edged though. Just too expensive at 4/4 stats. 2.5/5

This guy's flavor text is probably the most awesome I've ever seen.

This, for the uninitiated, is Kamigawa in a nutshell. Unique effects, some colour-pie-bending, and excessive costs as far as the eye can see. Absolutely soaked in flavour, too.

His flavour text makes him sound like they should come into play at end of turn.

welcome to a world of dustbowl and flagstones of trokair , a world were your opponent gets lands and you do not a world were every turn they play a legendary land sac it to destroy your land and then get to return their land to their hand. also see dark depths.
Just so you know, the Kenzo mentioned in Yomiji's flavor text is the white flip card Bushi Tenderfoot. Once he flips he becomes Kenzo. Apparently the flavor text is talking about how he survived and returned as a legend (flip), albeit tragic.

Get two copies of a 0cc legendary permanent (here's hoping...)
Cast them while Yomiji is on the battlefield
Generate infinite storm via the legend rule
Win the future

Infinite storm with two copies of Mox Opal. Also gives infinite mana if you control two more artifacts.

I run this in a deck with the ten dragons from the Planar Chaos set. Any one of them enchanted with Bear Umbra means I can drop up to 2 a turn. And this guy lets me bring them back. EDIT: He's no longer in the deck. That was in January 2011. Just for fun I started to build a commander deck around him. I changed my mind. It's now a Captain Sisay commander deck that combos this guy with Saffi. Plus the addition of green means more ramp. Maybe Perilous Forrays and a one-drop legend like Rhys the Redeemed?
That grants you infinite life with Soul Warden and her sisters, infinite +1/+1 counters on all your creatures with Cathars' Crusade, as many cards as you have mana with Mentor of the Meek, infinite untapping with Midnight Guard, and your opponents sacrificing infinite creatures with Martyr's Bond.
Mind you, people don't like seeing infinite combos, so...

A little confused here. In the war between the humans and the Kami, Kenzo the Hardhearted was fighting for the human side. Why would Yomiji bring him back from the dead to fight again? Isn't that just counterproductive to Yomiji(who is obviously a kami)'s goal?
That aside, incredible flavor on this card. Poor stats, but a nice ability.

Run with any of the Kamigawa Dragon Cycle and watch as people begin to glare at you more often.
