Kokusho, the Evening Star Price

Updated 2026-08-28

Kokusho, the Evening Star from Iconic Masters is the premier reprint printing of one of Commander's most powerful black dragons, a creature that drains five life from each opponent upon its death. In multiplayer Commander, that death trigger represents 15 life drained and 15 gained in a four-player pod, making Kokusho one of the most impactful death triggers in the format. Iconic Masters printed with generous distribution, but Kokusho demand in Commander is broad enough that the card holds value despite reprint exposure. Price has climbed over both the 30-day and 90-day windows at a consistent pace, indicating growing Commander adoption or collector accumulation rather than a one-time event. The Iconic Masters foil and non-foil versions trade separately, and both benefit from the ongoing Commander interest in high-impact black creatures with death triggers.
