Queen Marchesa, pillowfort/aikido elements, likes to redirect damage to opponents via Deflecting Palm, Stuffy Doll,Pariah,Arcbond, etc. Mix of pillowfort, group slug/hug, aikido, as well as infinite combo loops. Slow things down, wait it out, strike when they come at you. The deck plays a long game most often and usually seems to win out of nowhere. The Sunforger package is useful to find solutions as needed and some can be game changing in the right situation.

Can sub in Alesha, Who Smiles at Death as commander for a change of pace as well, but Marchesa provides some more interactive things and isn't as obvious as Alesha. I find that it is usually best to wait to cast her until you've let things develop first. She can be used to have a deathtouch defender out, (also generates deathtouch tokens once others take the crown from you.) She is useful as an incentive to draw attacks from people, (due to Monarch and card draw, others will attack you for it or once they take it will fight one another for it), you can bait people in for things like Deflecting Palm, or wait until your opponents attack one another, give them double strike from Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion, even sweeter if you have Gisela, Blade of Goldnight out!

This deck tends to be rather unpredictable for opponents. They often suspect the typical Queen Marchesa pillowfort game, when you often don't seem to do much to deter people and they often pick more critical targets. This deck is weakest against fast decks due to its lack of ramp and need of building up over time. It relies on punishing large board states and often results in large swing plays. It is not uncommon to wipe one player out from 30 life to nothing thanks to something like Wrecking Ogre blood-rushed onto Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, hits for 32 damage in one attack. Late game Price of Progress punishes the multi land loving decks you face, best to save this until Gisela, Blade of Goldnight is out.

Some of the other interactions in the deck include:

Karmic Guide+Reveillark, Blood Artist, Murderous Redcap, plus others to return with them and Sun Titan if need be

Blasphemous Act + Repercussion =Bad news for opponents with too much on the board

Alliance of Arms+Rakdos Charm with the above interaction

Manabarbs, Price of Progress for punishment late game Personal Sanctuary to protect from the damage caused by the group slug pieces

Some lifegain elements added that double as big damage potential, e.g: Cliffhaven Vampire+Beacon of Immortality

Maybeboard includes alternates that have been included at one time or another that fit well.

Always open to suggestions/tips! Thanks for looking!
