Queen Marchesa rules with an iron fist. She wishes to control the battlefield and keep her enemies at bay, building up a strong army to defend her lands. If the enemy manages to take her Crown, she has ways to make targets of them.

The deck itself is meant to be a Mardu Control with some Monarchy flavor thrown in such as Crown of Doom and Cruel Entertainment (aka "Dance Peasants"). While the deck has performed quiet well so far, I'm looking for ideas on how to improve the deck's performance in terms of control.
