Deck Description

Heartless Summoning = {2} mana less, but -1/-1. Cool
Death Pit Offering = +2/+2, but sac all when it enters. Not bad, because I'm playing "big boys".
Heartless + Death Pit = {2} mana less, and +1/+1. Awesomeness :D

Deck discussion for Heartless Death Pit

Are you aware that of your 11 possible Metamorph-targets 5 are legendary? So, when you copy them, both the Metamorph and the copied creatures die! Of course, in the case of Kokusho, that can come in handy if you need to trigger it's effect. But it is not ideal if you need blockers.
And Grave Titans have bad synergy with the Heartless Summoning ...

... so maybe go for a different creature mix? Possibilities are endless.

Current Legend rule allows you to keep one. Metamorph can also copy Lashwrithe as Metamorph can also copy artifacts.

Kokusho's death trigger is a game winner, just attack, then cast a second Kokusho (Metamorph copying it or an actual Kokusho), then choose to keep the untapped one to block with :p

Grave Titan works better than you might think. Yes, 1/1 zombies aren't as impressive as 2/2 zombies, but the production starting 2 turns earlier than 'normal' is a very good thing.

Mutilate is also a very good board equaliser, especially before dropping any of the "big boys".

Btw, this is made out of cards I own.

Are you sure? I thought the new legend rule just says that you and your opponent can have the same legend. Damnit, they changed the legend rule so many times now, it's easy to lose track :(

That this is a deck you made with your collection is an argument I can't beat :P Just thought that some creature swould be better suited than Grave Titan, for example Reiver Demon and Rune-Scarred Demon. And Mikaeus would be sick with Kokusho :) (but is also a legend).
Or maybe it's just that I have seen too many Grave Titans by now, so don't take me too serious ;)

The Legend / Planeswalker rules state that at any time you have more than one legend / planeswalker with the same name / type, you choose one and sacrifice the rest. It's also worded so that you and your opponents may have one legend / planeswalker of the same name / type out at the same time. This is evil with some planeswalkers; eg. I play Jace, Memory Adept,mill you for 10, play a second Jace, Memory Adept,choose to keep the new one, and mill you for another 10.

I kind of like Grave Titan, and currently I'm the only person in my group that plays him, so it's cool. Back when Heartless Summoning was standard legal, I ran both Grave and Frost Titans and Phyrexian Metamorph in the deck. Was one of the few times I played blue in Standard (I'm more of a green an aggro player).

If you play a second Jace, why would it have enough loyalty to use it's ultimate immediately?

Jace's middle ability costs 0 and mills 10 cards

Ah, okay ... but in that case I don't care. There are cards that mill more for less mana :)

It was a lame example, but the point still stands that with the rules change, legends and walkers can have some interesting ways to be abused now

The rule kind of sucks too. Under the previous "they all die" rule I was Dragonstorm-ing into 4 Kokushos for the win.
