Cabal Coffers is better because it doesn't require a way to put creatures in your graveyard. Coffers runs off of the lands you would be playing anyway, so you don't have to waste the extra cards. You can also use it in a reanimator deck without losing mana production like Crypt of Agadeem will. Oh, and Bojuka Bog.

Only play this card if you like lots of black mana.

Between this and the two Dark Rituals I have to say that I came away VERY pleased with the Zombie Empire planechase set.

Wow. There are quite a few people who don't understand how excellent this card is.
Darksteel Colossus is $3, Lightning Bolt is about $1.25, Cabal Coffers is $5, so that would be a fair trade. But, foil Darksteel Colossus is $10.
Of course, at the time of Arachibutyrophobia's posting, all of these may have had vastly different prices. (And Phobia, you shouldn't take advantage of the ignorance of others.)
But, SocialExperiment, my point is that just because something is an uncommon doesn't mean its worth less than the dreaded Colossus. In fact, the effect rarity has on the cost of a card is usually less than the effect popularity has on the cost of a card. There are a million and one different 50c rares, and yet there are commons worth over a dollar. And also, from what I can tell, age can sometime raise the price drastically (at a certain threshold.)

I love this card. I'm gonna try and trade a foil mythic rare Darksteel Colossus and two Lightning Bolts for this. :P
On ebay this card is worth a good amount, so it would be more cost effective to trade for it.
UPDATE: I lucked out and traded a Skeletal Vampire and Shriveling Rot for this.

Yup. Broken.
And no comparing with cards from Urza's block... even Psychatog or Jitte might not have seen major play were they born during Urza's.
