The dream is to cast Chandra's Ignition targeting Marit Lage with a Wound Reflection on board. But other than that, it's meant to be a really low-key, interactive deck.

The inspiration: Queen Marchesa: Politics, Aikido, and Control

The first version: The Whispers of Power

The second version: Mad With Inspiration

Notable card interactions:

Wound Reflection + Havoc Festival

Solemnity + Delaying Shield/Dark Depths

Thespian's Stage + Dark Depths

Updates

August 2021

I'm going to swap Leonin Relic-Warder, Murderous Redcap, Celestial Convergence, and Suture Priest for super-deathtouch:

Phage the Untouchable, Whispersilk Cloak, Angel's Grace, and Vorpal Sword

I'm already going for far-fetched win-cons here, I might as well try another. The cards I'm taking out are vestiges from the time this deck was built entirely around Solemnity.
