I wanted to deviate a bit from the typical Vampire commanders while keeping the tribal theme in the deck. Marchesa provides me with the 3 colours for vampires and adds the monarch ability to draw cards, create tokens, etc. Plus a nice "Kingdom/Royal" sub-theme to the deck.

Long live Queen Marchesa!

Dare cross her? (Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief + Vona, Butcher of Magan + Royal Assassin + Vein Drinker + Profane Procession   + Dreadbore + Utter End)

Think you have loyal subjects? (Act of Aggression + Captivating Vampire + Insurrection + Kari Zev's Expertise + New Blood + Word of Seizing)

Test her weaknesses? (Boros Charm + Eerie Interlude + Gift of Immortality + Silence + Lightning Greaves)

Want it to end quick and painless? (Blood Artist + Blind Obedience + Bloodchief Ascension + Kambal, Consul of Allocation + Twilight Prophet + Kalastria Highborn)

Doubt her following? (Bloodline Keeper   + Edgar Markov + Elenda, the Dusk Rose + Legion's Landing   + Regal Bloodlord + Anointed Procession + Bishop of Rebirth + Phyrexian Reclamation + Whisper, Blood Liturgist)
