I love the picture. The ability will give you something to soulshift for when this guy dies.

Flying, Soulshift 4, and able to make opponent discard, it's a very versatile creature. Promise of Bonrei and Twilight Drover would keep his ability rolling. Perhaps there could be a variant of the Ghost Dad deck utilizing HWH well.

@Vedalken_Arbiter: Kannushi isn't a spirit and the ashes only affect things in your GY, so you can't sac it to He Who Hungers. They probably did that on purpose so this combo wouldn't be so readily available.

For just , this guy and Spirit Cairn on the field, you can recycle the ability to make them discard your opponent's entire hand! :D

Plus, a very good use for Spirit Cairn...that should be enough!

Jesserman would appear to have discovered that it is now possible to be obscene on Gatherer without being reported.....

I was pretty bummed out when I saw this card after just reading its name. Should be something a lot bigger and more epic.

Lingering Souls

Anyway, only being able to do it as a sorcery is a bit of a bummer, but instant targeted discard is rare, so I guess it's forgivable. And aside from that detail, this is a pretty useful card so long as you have a method of producing spirits en masse.

Soulshift 4? Sure, why not.

Surprisingly good. Pairs well with Twilight Drover.

He Who Hungers roams the Takenuma wastes searching for souls to devour, a hovering smoking ribcage with a void for a stomach.

I love this card and it is one of the big bads in my black kami deck. Your opponent will run out of good cards and be top decking before you run out of spirits. Soul Shift is just extra gravy as you'll almost always have something to revive that He Who Hungers has eaten.

Unlike Duress or even Thoughtseize, this dude eats land cards. Worth existing for that reason alone.

Absolute bomb with Nether Traitors. One on the field and 1 in the 'yard =
"{1}{B} Target opponent reveals his or her hand discards a card of your choice."
