A highly political Queen Marchesa deck where everything has multiple uses. Card draw even incentivizes people to attack one another like Xantcha, Sleeper Agent. Lots of instant speed tricks so if your subjects don't want to bargain with the queen, make them pay. the Queen has both card draw and incentive to attack one another while giving me vipers to protect myself. Let others get drained over time while I am not an obvious target then win.
