Marchesa- No Rest For The Wicked

The Deck

I never thought a combination like this was possible... This is an aggro aristocrats deck. So I want to be dealing a lot of damage to everyone, including myself, and use the aristocrats part of the deck and Marchesa's ability to control the board.

Are You Looking to Help?

I am not currently looking for help with this deck. I am very proud of this deck and wish to share it with the community. That being said, if you do have any suggestions, please feel free to let me know. Our pod is more casual, no infinite combos, not trying to win on turn two or three, we play tuned but not competitive decks.

Thank you for understanding! :)

Updates

Core Set 2021

In: Terror of the Peaks, Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge, and Liliana's Standard Bearer

Out: Reef Worm, Metallic Mimic and Flayer of the Hatebound

The Monarchy

I love the monarch mechanic and my three favourite monarch cards are Skyline Despot, Keeper of Keys and Custodi Lich. I thought they would fit perfectly in this deck as I want to attack a lot, and the monarch might want to make other people attack as well which will let there guard down for my creatures to role in. This is a test and if they do not work well, especially since these cards will be upping my curve by quite a bit...

Cards I am taking out will be Mer-Ek Nightblade, Profaner of the Dead and Last One Standing.

Zendikar Rising and Removal

In: Counterspell, Arcane Denial, Swan Song, Agadeem's Awakening   & Feed the Swarm

Out: Kokusho, the Evening Star, Chasm Skulker, Hero's Downfall, Phyrexian Reclamation & Mystic Confluence
