Hey Shinwizzles ,

I really like the theft build you got here +1! Is your deck still updated or has it been put on the side for now ? Building a Marchesa myself and found a great inspiration from yours !

Woe Strider seems great here. Free sac outlet and you can escape it and it will come back with +1 +1 counters on it. Plus a free goat haha

Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded is an absolute bomb in this kind if deck.

Gorbah, thanks for the compliment! I haven't updated the deck in a few sets, but I intend on getting around to that soon. There have been a few cards in recent sets that I'd like to test out in the deck (Bloodtracker, Agent of Treachery, Claim the Firstborn, etc.). I'll be sure to check your Marchesa deck if/when you post it!

Grahamatica, thanks for the suggestion! A 3-mana sac outlet that lets me scry? And a free goat?! Yes please! Thanks again for the suggestion, I'll definitely check out how Woe Strider does.

K1ngZ03, I really like Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded's ultimate ability, but his +1 scares me. I'd hate to lose a winning part of my strategy just to draw a Mountain and +1 Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded. The other downside is that people can see the threat a mile away, and he'd end up drawing a lot of hate. He'd be pretty tough to defend for enough turns to use his ultimate. Thanks for the suggestion though!

thirdcherry, thanks for the suggestion! I actually had Grave Betrayal in the deck a while back. It was a pretty cool card when I could manage to get it out and keep it from being removed immediately. The cost and the huge target that it paints convinced me to remove it from the deck, despite how well it fits the theme. Thanks again for the suggestion though!

Give Cytoplast Manipulator a shot. If you have a free sack outlet and a few open mana you can steal a creature on each opponents turn

You really should try to drop some of your 4 and 5 drops for 1, 2, and 3 drops (especially the 4 drops since they compete with your commander). Almost 30% of your deck won't come down before Marchesa and after 8 years of playing this commander I've come to realize that what you drop in turns 1, 2, and 3 before Marchesa makes more of an impact on consistency than big flashy cards that come down after.

Assuming you're picking up what I'm putting down, I can help make specific suggestions for both additions and cuts if you'd like.
