This is very similar to a Marchesa deck I currently use, and it is an absolute beast when one gets going. For those interested in a bit more, I would recommend removing the Guildgates for their respected Theros Temples. Consider putting in Curse of Stalked Prey and Olivia Voldaren for additional +1/+1 counter madness. Marchesa's Smuggler can let you easily swing in early. Just remember that you are playing from behind. Happy Stealing!

RubyOrzhov I apreciate the recomendations Curse of Stalked Prey + Marchesa's Smuggler Are great additions to the deck. Olivia Voldaren is a little bit too high on the price for what she does for me. I sure see her fit in here but slapping that 11$ for a 1% chance to pull it out of a deck of hundred is not that interesting to me.

I tried looking between your decklist for your Marchesa, the Black Rose EDH deck but couldn't find it. Will you upload it at some point so I can see what you got in there?

It actually was not mine. It was a video made by Budget MTG Decks on YouTube. Bought the entirety, and it's been preforming well, even after throwing in the respected Temples. I am considering throwing in the recommendations I sent to you; let me know how good they are.

RubyOrzhov Got the deck from there as well. Made some changes to give it a bigger punch.

Seems capable of doing so. I may change my deck with the things in here. Hopefully itll be a bigger threat.

Good choice on the arcbound creatures, took me a few iterations to discover how brilliant they are:

Hey I just wanted to thank you. Was looking for a starting point for a ~$100 Marchesa list and this fits the bill so perfectly. Thanks!
