Sure, she's no Raya, Debtor's Knell, or Adarkar Valkyrie, but she get's the job done. Throw her in your G'yard with the Knell in play, throw up a Jokulhaups, and nab her(and probably Raya too) while they struggle with mana.
Sit back and watch their cards slowly migrate to your side of the field. A bit late-game of a strategy, but EDH affords such things.

I thought the artwork was awesome, until i saw the 80's anime shades....
I've always been under the impretion that EDH was more for fun than serious game play, and in that light i think this is an awesome card.

I really want to abuse her ability. I'm thinking of a deck with Life's Finale, Void Maw, and Adarkar Valkyrie. Life's Finale really is perfect for her.

To all the people saying she's got "anime shades,"
It's not a pair of sunglasses. It's a red ribbon. Tied around her head, over her eyes. Like a blindfold.
Which is a flavorful way of letting the word "random" fit into that tap ability of hers.
She's got a blindfold on.

I like to use Pulsemage Advocate and other graveyard manipulation like Withered Wretch in order to make her ability less random. Cards like Blazing Specter and Silent Specter (a personal favorite) put your opponents fatties in the grave for you, Life's Finale also does an incredible job of this. Threaten effects alongside sac outlets (Infernal Tribute, anyone?) let me get whatever fatties they manage to play back into Tariel's reach. She may seem sub-par at first, but her colors give you access to some pretty amazing possibilities.

Hey reanimators, mind if I turn your grave's inhabitants, one by one, against you?

In a match-up between Dega (WBR) and Simic (UG), Tariel now is extremely eager to bring back your opponent's Prophet of Kruphix.

She was the commander on the strongest *multiplayer* EDH I have ever seen, which a friend of mine put together. Angel Tribal with 25 Board Wipes, most of which were destroy effects, not exile effects. I am still trying to build something similar, but my best efforts aren't even close to what this deck could pull off.
It goes like this:
Turn 1: Whatever.
Turn 2: Whatever.
Turn 3: Whatever.
Turn 4: Am I losing? If so, BOARDWIPE.
Turn 5+: Am I losing? If so, BOARDWIPE. If not, Tariel steals a creature from someone's graveyard and swings for absurd damage (damage starts about turn 6-7, assuming either Sisay's ring or Sol Ring dropped earlier.)
In a typical game, this deck would board wipe once every five turns or so and would win by commander damage at a rate of about 5 turns per player, assuming everyone teamed up against her (which usually didn't happen.)
I've never managed to beat it 1v1 (though I've come close), and in multiplayer it's downright unfair. So much board wide hate. If... (see all)
