First try of making a Marchesa EDH Budget Deck. (at the moment <20€ for all rares)

More than half of the creatures enter the battlefield with +1/+1 counters or return to the battlefield in another way. The other creatures are there to either trigger the or profit from the enter the battlefield effects and help securing advantage on the board. The Enchantments as well should help securing board advantage and give alternative winning conditions (by sacrificing own creatures/killing enemy creatures to deal damage). Additionally I added some artifacts to guard Marchesa, as the main tactics are depending on her. Also the instants (mainly counters) are just there to secure that she's entering and staying on the board. (Most of my friends play control decks, so this was kinda a necessity)

Help and tips appreciated!

PS.: Manabase (lands) is as well in a budget version (the cards I had by hand right now) PSS.: 4 cards too much, I will sort them out soon
