Treasury Thrull or Carmen, Cruel Skymarcher?
Commander Deck Help forum

I have a copy of Treasury Thrull in both my Tariel, Reckoner of Souls and Teneb, the Harvester EDH decks, as sacrificing and reanimating creatures is one of the central themes in each of those decks, but I am considering replacing that card with Carmen, cruel skymarcher, since she has a lower mana cost and also is overall more versatile; it is true that the cards that she can return are limited by her power, but I am confident that I shall be able to make her sufficiently power to return any cards in my deck, and she also returns them directly to the battlefield, rather than my hand, which is very nice.
What does everyone else say about this? Should I replace Treasury Thrull with Carmen, cruel skymarcher?

I'd say to replace the Thrull(Which hurts me to say because he's always been a favorite of mine). I'm not sure whether that's the case with the Tariel deck, but looking through the Teneb decklist there are plenty of ways to get that sacrifice engine running, and she herself is more of a threat by being in the air. Not to mention she can hit much more different types of cards than the Thrull can.

GreenTrampler, thank you, for your feedback, and I shall definitely make that replacement! I had already been planning to do so, but I was hoping that another user here would agree with me, and I understand how you feel, since I am very fond of Treasury Thrull, as well, but I shall certainly be keeping that card in my other decks that contain black and white.

I actually would like to have some further feedback on this matter, before I make my decision, so does anyone else have anything to say?

Not to be a bother, but does anyone have anything to say on this subject?
