Marchesa, the Black Rose is a fantastic general for stealing opponents' creatures. Sure, you can dick around with +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters, or make a Grixis artifact deck, or even be a clown and go tribal Wizards, but why bother when the obvious route to choose is to just wreak havoc by stealing stuff? The goal of the deck is to steal creatures using stuff like Act of Treason, Threaten, Dominus of Fealty, etc., swing with them, kill them, and then have them come back with Marchesa, the Black Rose's ability. The deck is super simple with not a lot of jazzy combos or anything fancy. If I'm missing anything, or if it seems like something doesn't belong, please say so! Suggestions are always appreciated.

Thanks!
