This deck is build due to a gift a good friend has given me for my birthday.The gift he gave me was the challenge to build a commander deck for only E30,- excluding land.In short: The commander could cost a maximum of E5,- and the other 63 non-land cards in total max E25,-

I tried doing this by going in a political direction: I wanna make deals with the entire table.I'm going to give offers to those in Need and slowly try to controll the entire board on a budget.The best commander I could think of with those limitations was the Queen herself, Queen Marchesa.What a better into politics with the Queen herself.

The rest of the deck also has a subtheme of being her personal army. She has (goblin) diplomats, she has assassins, she has advisors, she has it all.

The Wincons currently in my deck are:- Combat damage- Board whipes for creatures with higher power (power >2 or >3)- The power of politics with offerings and stuff- Life switcheroo

Now my main problem is that I can't see any more upgrades within the budget limitations

So please, send advisors and diplomats to help this problem.It needs to become a fun deck, but also lethal and it has to be able to win on a casual level (just a bit better then good pre-cons)
