This deck is a functional deck that capitalizes on Marchesa's dethrone ability and keeps your life total lower than your opponents until too late. It utilizes pain lands, shock lands, and fetch lands to help keep your opponents' life totals higher than your's. Then Marchesa, the Black Rose has interactions with cards like Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Vela the Night-Clad to make your dudes big, hard to block, and recurring. This is a fun deck to play, and doesn't have stupid broken combos, so it is great for casual play. However, it has an above average price tag (mainly due to mana base, but also to other things), so it can be customized to better fit most peoples' price ranges. Constructed criticism is appreciated! ;)

(P.S. I know it is constructive criticism, but it was supposed to be a pun, that's why I winky emoticon-ed)
