What is this deck about?: Tribal human, with synergy around keyword sharing thanks to Odric, Lunarch Marshal and Concerted Effort.

Main goal per rounds:

1 to 3:

Get Marchesa down on Turn 3 with one of the 2 drop mana rock. Getting Monarch early is important because you need to generate value fast with card draw or free assassins.

4 and +:

You often win by burying your opponents in card advantage by trading 1 for many. Don't be afraid to lose the the monarchy or play spells that don't impact the board right away. there are 9 cards that can clear the board in the deck and sometimes it's one sided. If on turn 6-7 you are behind on board stay like that until you can clear the board, you don't want to destroy the few cards you have. If you only got a deathtouch and seem to have nothing going on people don't even think of going near you.

Final turn/turns:

Usually aggro concede when their board and hands are empty and yours is full, never under estimate the monarchy. You win against control by resolving a one man army creature, like Hero of Bladehold or Hanweir Garrison and not over commit to the board. VS Combo Attack early and often, keep your removal for key cards.

General Synergy:

Odric, Lunarch Marshal and Concerted Effort are really important. Finding a source of indestructibility with Odric has gave me every game until now. Our spells are cheap and we rarely miss a land drop. Creature-lands can be animated to share their keywords. Sometimes getting wide and big does the job. This deck does a incredible job at punishing durdeling opponent(s).

Synergy you might not see:

Chandra's Ignition / Arcbound + deathtouch or/and lifelink will turn your creatures (usually Marchesa) into incredible healing/killing spells.
