Life is eternal. A lifetime is ephemeral.

Fecundity

Whenever a creature is put into a graveyard from play, that creature's controller may draw a card.

In a multiplayer game, if a player loses the game, triggered abilities that player controls are removed from the stack and no more from that player can be added. This means that if a creature an opponent controls dies while you control Fecundity, and you lose the game before Fecundity’s triggered ability resolves (perhaps because you lost the game at the same time that the creature died), that player won’t draw a card.

Whenever a creature dies, that creature's controller may draw a card.

Land Tax

At the beginning of your upkeep, if an opponent controls more lands than you, you may search your library for up to three basic land cards, reveal them, then put them into your hand. If you do, shuffle your library.

You can fetch any of the “Snow-Covered” lands, since they all also have the supertype basic.

This ability has an “intervening ‘if' clause.” That means (1) the ability won't trigger at all unless any one of your opponents controls more lands than you, and (2) the ability will do nothing if you control at least as many lands as each of your opponents by the time it resolves.

You shuffle your library if you search, even if you don't put any basic land cards into your hand.

Living Death

Set aside all creature cards in all graveyards. Then put each creature that's in play into its owner's graveyard. Then put each creature card set aside this way into play under its owner's control.

As Living Death resolves, all players exile their creature cards from graveyards at the same time. Then all players sacrifice all creatures they control at the same time. Then all players put all creatures they exiled onto the battlefield at the same time.

Only cards exiled by Living Death's first instruction are put onto the battlefield. If a replacement effect (such as that of Leyline of the Void) causes any of the sacrificed creatures to be exiled instead of put into a graveyard, those cards aren't returned to the battlefield.

Each player exiles all creature cards from their graveyard, then sacrifices all creatures they control, then puts all cards they exiled this way onto the battlefield.

At end of turn, if there are no creatures in play, sacrifice Pestilence.
oo
B Pestilence deals 1 damage to each creature and each player.

Each activation is considered a new damage effect. An activation can only be 1 point of damage.

It will stay on the battlefield if there is a creature that is put into the graveyard during the end step. This is because this ability will not trigger at all if there is at least one creature on the battlefield as the end step begins.

Note that “until end of turn” effects wear off after “at the beginning of the end step” triggered abilities, so an artifact that animates until end of turn can keep this on the battlefield.

At the beginning of the end step, if no creatures are on the battlefield, sacrifice Pestilence.
{B}: Pestilence deals 1 damage to each creature and each player.
