I remember Thrulls from sets much older than this and they were black to a man, but at least their willingness to die for a cause has not been diminished. I'm unsure into what deck this card fits well - an aggressive deck that fears cards such as The Abyss or Solitary Confinement but wants to pressure the opponent every turn may require something from this family but never really Absolver Thrull in particular, since there are variants more suited to attacking - contrast him with Cloudchaser Eagle or Soltari Visionary. Including this card in your library largely means abstaining from using enchantments of your own or keeping this creature back in your hand for fear of sabotaging yourself. Finally among his weaknesses, you'll note that he belongs to that class of card which Humility makes look particularly foolish. In the Absolver's defense, however, the combination of his abilities puts him in a not totally obsolete position - if you choose to sacrifice him through some manner of card ability (Diamond Valley, Mask of the Mimic) or simply use him as cannon fodder against fierce attack, his role in the game has not yet ended - whether that is enough for him to be viable is up to the individual deck builder. Other marginal bonuses come from his popular Cleric creature type, although Monk Realist is similarly of the cloth and slots much more easily into many decks. There are a great deal of white cards which can disenchant and most have less strings attached. Can be acquired for less than ten pence a copy.
