So yeah! This is the first deck that I've posted in a long time that I'm really bothering with writing a description for because I love it that much!

This is Marchesa, the Black Rose EDH. It's a "Midrange" EDH deck (If you can really call any EDH decks midrange) due to it's ability to just play aggressive when it wants to. It also has the capability to "combo off" with various inevitability engines.

Marchesa, the Black Rose + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed ~ Any non-human creature either dies and comes back with a +1/+1 counter on it if it didn't have one already or dies and comes back without one if it did! Congrats, your creatures can't die.

Ashnod's Altar + Geralf's Messenger + Marchesa, the Black Rose ~ 4 damage and 4 colorless mana during each players' turn. Works very similar if you substitute Geralf's Mindcrusher or use a different Sacrifice outlet like Bloodflow Connoisseur.

Marchesa, the Black Rose + Any Undying Creature + Any Sac Outlet + Warstorm Surge/Vicious Shadows ~ Consistant damage at least twice a turn. Very easy way to shut out the game if the creature is big.

Marchesa, the Black Rose]] + Any Undying Creature + Any Sac Outlet + gravepact/Butcher of Malakir/Dictate of Erebos ~ Each opponent has to sac two creatures during each players' turn! Can't get better than that!

This list is going through changes still as I find better cards for the jobs that I want each card to do. If you have any suggestions please, by all means, suggest them! I love hearing opinions and am more than happy to have conversations about card choices.
