Carmen, Cruel Skymarcher Once again, a sacrifice-heavy strategy takes the stage on this list

From that point it was difficult to justify not playing either a deck that contained all of those creatures and spells, or at the very least one that had an extremely good matchup against it
There are other cards like Councils Judgment and Assassins Trophy that have a similar effect
Overstatted for its cost, absurd upside in the right deck, 2-for-1 potential with no extra effort needed
Ill use them as a weathervane of sorts to compare the best skeletons in the game
