Combo Win Cons

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion infinite damage to opponents, just be sure when doing the combo that you only deal 1 damage to the opponent and 2 damage to itself because of the Mikaeus buff. Triskelion immediately comes back. Loop from there.

Bloodline Keeper + Grimgrin, Corpse-Born + Necrotic Ooze Grimgrin, Corpse-Born and Bloodline Keeper need to be in your graveyard, put infinite +1/+1 counters on Necrotic Ooze.

Glen Elandra Archmage + Sage of Fables + Goblin Bombardment infinite damage to opponents

Goblin Bombardment + Puppeteer Clique + Sage of Fables infinite damage to opponents

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Pestermite turn infinite hasty dudes sideways

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts turn infinite hasty dudes sideways

Fun Interactions

Glen Elandra Archmage + Sage of Fables + Viscera Seer infinite scry to get the card you need in your deck

Puppeteer Clique + Sage of Fables + Viscera Seer infinite scry to get the card you need in your deck

Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch with Unleashed never dies when Marchesa is on the battlefield.

Unspeakable Symbol is great for controlling your life, ensuring you're not on the throne and enabling dethrone.

Marchesa, the Black Rose + Sneak Attack + any creature is a way to sneak out big dudes and have them stay after they are sacrificed.

Future Updates

The number of lands feels low, especially with only 3 mana rocks. I plan on increasing to 38 or 39 lands, but I haven't decided what to cut yet.
