This is a Marchesa 3player-meta deck for Commander. As in my playgroup we have slowly built our own banlist, the following cards have been played and banned after discussion:

Iona, Shield of EmeriaTsabo's DecreeIdentity CrisisSadistic SacramentElesh Norn, Grand CenobiteVorinclex, Voice of HungerJin-Gitaxias, Core AugurSerra AscendantSol RingAvacyn, Angel of HopeSensei's Divining Top

Grixis deck not built around Marchesa. Play control and try to stay alive until late game.

The deck used to have a Ninja subtheme inside, now gone because of mana ramp problems U.

There is a Nicol Bolas flavor in the deck that can be expanded or reduced.
