Description
Cruel Skymarcher Command
Carmen, Cruel Skymarcher rewards a grindy, attrition style of play common to the Lost Caverns of Ixalan. She stakes a modest 2/2 body, flying, and a triggered set of bedside benefits. Each sacrifice your opponents or you make feeds Carmen with a permanent boost and a bit of life recovery which compounds over the midgame. That growth makes her a credible attacker and a threat that must be answered before she accumulates too many counters.
Her second trigger reads like a midrange toolbox in a single line of rules text. When Carmen attacks you can return a permanent card with mana value less than or equal to her current power from your graveyard directly to the battlefield. That interaction converts incremental counters into immediate board advantage and lets you recoup key pieces after a skirmish. For commanders and casual play this card sets up interesting choices about which permanents to sacrifice and when to press the attack.
