The fall of the evening star never heralds a gentle dawn.
You got that right. In fact, it generally heralds a dawn in which you go find a new playgroup.
EDIT: Shattering Glass!!!! I spelled my screen name wrong! . . . well, I do know how to spell Kokusho. That was just a typo.

It's entirely brutal. Even without his ability, it's 6cc for a 5/5 flyer. Uninteresting, but fair. Throw in the ability and he is amazing.

Good combo - have 4 of these in your deck, and an Iname, Death aspect. Put them all in your graveyard, and then play a Twilight's Call, or some other such graveyard-to-play. For the full effect, combo it with Relic of Progenitus!

I want to use him in my Grimgrin deck.
Kokusho, the Evening Star
Mikaeus, the Unhallowed
Hex Parasite
Grimgrin, Corpse-Born
Mikey gives them all Undying, sac Kokusho to Grimgrin, everyone looses life and you gain it, he comes back and gets nibbled on by Hex Parasite, sac him again. As long as you have 8 Mana (4 swamps) or 4 Mana and 8 life to spare for Hex's ability, and assuming your opponents have 20 or less life...I'd say that's game.
So basically, Hex is a pimp that eats out Kokusho but is apperently a swinger as GrimGrin eats Big-K too. Mikey, being the Unhallowed now, marries the three of them and we're left with a future full of the ugliest little babies in MTG history. It's the perfect wuv story!

He's banned in EDH because the rules list was made back when there was much less graveyard removal/exile removal in all colors, and he was banned at the same time as Recurring Nightmare, the real problem card. Since then, answers and bigger threats (Like Primeval Titan) have been printed. The reason he hasn't left is inertia.
As an effect, he's not overpowered in EDH; no, not even with Rite of Replication (A 2 card combo where one is 9 mana is not bannable in EDH). Yes, the life gain is huge, but that doesn't stop Exsanguinate from being unbanned.
