Howdy folks!

Thanks for taking the time to check out my Marchesa, the Black Rose EDH deck! This was my first deck to explore with graveyard recursion effects.

The goal is to keep my Marchesa, the Black Rose on the field as much as possible, so that the rest of the deck's ETB or Dies effects get the most usage. I don't own many sacrifice outlets (goodness they are pricey!). But I do have a couple in here like Yahenni, Undying Partisan to exploit the ETB / Dies effects.

The secondary goal of this deck is to get as many creatures with +1/+1 counters on them to have a sizable combat army. Cards like Herald of Secret Streams, Card: Sapphire Drake, and Mer-Ek Nightblade will put other creatures to good use while they're on the field other than being ETB/Dies effect fodders.

Any feedback or suggestions would be happily welcomed. I hope this can help inspire others to explore with new mechanics and themes.

Thank you for your time, -Gaymer04
