I started playing EDH when Kokusho is not around so I didn't know about her effect as a Commander. Reading through this thread though makes me realize how abusive she can be, but then again, so many other cards are also in the same category.
With that said though, I would love to see her make a comeback at least as 1 of the 99.
I would probably target you too, not because your deck is expensive, but because I'd get sick of having the game slowed down by a chorus of "okay what does that card do?" all game long.
If someone has a sweet foil, I'm more inclined to leave it in play. Someone was casting a power artifact on his foil grim monolith the other day and I casted cryptic command. Obviously the smart move was to bounce the monolith instead of countering the power artifact, but hey...that card is like $100+....its a respect thing. I countered the power artifact instead. I'm a sucker for sweet cards I guess.
Oh they know what the card does for sure. It's just the combination of my style of play which is too explosive (I didn't stay under the radar and combo out), and the foils that paints a huge target in my head.
But usually after they did that to me game 1, they leave me to do whatever I want in game 2
All of my decks are fully Japanese foiled and the pimpest version of each cards, and yes that does make me a target everytime we play in a multiplayer setting.
Whichever deck I use, even though it's a weak general, people will target me first, just for the hell of it. I have to admit that I'm not the best player around (lots of misplays), but people will still gun for me first.

Can't wait to free her from her cave:
Btw, is Magus of the Abyss a substitute for The Abyss or you just prefer the body?
For lands, consider adding Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Deserted Temple.
I can't wait until this set is released. This is the type of deck that I've been wanting to play.
Lightning Greaves so we can draw 7 more?
How do you achieve a turn 3 kill if I may know?
Would love to see which cards you took out to fit in those mana stones.

Speaking of douche stuff, why not include Triskelion since you already have Mikaeus in the deck?

6 mana instant for 4 cards is not bad at all.
If you had access to Stroke of Genius and Braid of Fire (which I think could be bonkers in this deck), what would you replace them with?
