Kyoki, Sanity's Eclipse
This guy is a rather interesting card to
evaluate. The basics are pretty good; you could
actually say that about most of Kamigawa's "spiritcraft"
cards, assuming a deck that can trigger them,
but attacking an opponent's resources is
something a lot of decks are willing to devote a
lot of space to. He even holds up in larger
formats, where there are plenty of available
spirits you'll want to play with. The issue is
not that, but rather that by the time he hits
the table, your opponent may not have any cards
to get rid of anyway, especially if you have
other resource-attacking cards. Still, the fact
that he can keep an opponent in topdeck mode
late in the game, and the fact that he's also a
demon and thus makes a different set of
interactions available, makes him worth
considering for the right deck.

Kyoki, Sanity’s Eclipse
(8/17)
One of the many legends
from
Kamigawa block, and an attempt to
make a payoff for the Spirit/Arcane deck. The
effect
is powerful, and the body on Kyoki
is pretty acceptable (6/5 for 6 isn't bad). The
downside, as always, is that it has little
protection and requires a specific shell to make
work, some weird black Spirit/Arcane tribal
build.
I think Kyoki has potential
in, say, a “fun" Commander deck. Lots of cheap
spirits, Arcane spells (black has a couple), and
some of the
Kamigawa-block Demon tribal support
might work towards making it fun. And it can
smash face if needed. It's too clunky to
function outside fun formats, but it can be
decently serviceable.
