I got tired of building decks that didn't care how or what my opponents were playing. Then I was looking through my cards and I noticed I had a bunch of "political" cards and I also did not have a Red commander deck. So I did the logical thing to do during a lockdown and bought Queen Marchesa. The deck is made to have as much interaction between every player as possible. As far as win cons I would have to say Elesh Norn or Assemble the Legion should win me the game. However the main goal of this is to play the political game that is being queen. Very flavorful and fun.... if you're not the first eliminated.

Looking for more "political" cards that aren't necessarily "brutal" but fun.
