Which Card Should Denethor Replace?
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on June 17, 2023, 10 a.m. by DemonDragonJ
I am planning to put a copy of Denethor, Ruling Steward into my Tariel, Reckoner of Souls EDH deck, but I am not certain which card to remove to make room for him.
I believe that Denethor should replace either Scourge of the Nobilis or Searing Meditation, since neither of those cards contributes very strongly to the deck's theme, and the scourge, in particular, is very vulnerable to removal, as it is an aura, so I think that it may be the best card to remove.
What does everyone else say about this? Which card should Denethor replace?

seshiro_of_the_orochi, the main theme of the deck is to take my opponents' creatures with Tariel, but I have numerous sacrifice outlets in this deck, in the case that I take a creature that is not useful for combat, since Tariel's ability takes creatures at random.

Ok, with that in mind, these cuts seem even more reasonable. Why'd you even have them in here in the first place?

seshiro_of_the_orochi, I built that deck when EDH was a new format, so I was still unfamiliar with it, and there also were not nearly as many cards to choose, at that time, but I have been gradually improving the deck, as I have indicated in my notes on that page.

I have a serious problem. You're asking for your Tariel deck rather frequently, and every time, Ifind myself wanting to help. But then, as I'm looking at thelist, it feels so all over the place that I don't feel like I could give any proper advice. It would really help if you explained more about which cards has which purpose. Can you do that for me? Maybe even in the description.
The cuts you're considering still seem reasonable.
