Okay so this is something that I've been working on for months now and its a take on using Marchesa, the Black Rose to combo and keep alive important artifact creatures along with creating large field presence. The main focus on arcbound creatures, things like Arcbound Ravager or Arcbound Crusher and even Arcbound Stinger , using her ability you can kill or sacrifice these creatures every turn and even on thiers to stack counters on other creatures so they don't die or use them for activation costs for many cards like Time Sieve or Altar of Dementia. The typical win con is simple outlasting, Marchesa's effect makes it nearly impossible to have an empty board which means that you can keep building your board-state without having to lose everything. Along with your unkillable board you also have many artifacts that let you control the flow of the game, things like Teferi's Puzzle Box, Winter Orb, and of course Mycosynth Lattice. Mycosynth Lattice is one of the key cards in the deck making all your creatures artifacts and making all of their things artifacts. This lets things like Scrap Mastery or Nevinyrral's Disk able to hit all permanents on the field helping you create or escape dire situations. Everything in the deck has small roles so that even if you lose half your deck the other half can sustain on its own. The deck itself starts slow most times but around turn 5 even 4, you can start using the vast majority of draw and search to start grabbing things like Chromatic Lantern and Teferi's Puzzle Box, the earlier you can get box the better. The greatest weakness for the deck though is that you can not be reckless with this deck, every action has to be well calculated, even the slightest mistake can send you straight into a loss. Which is where I'm looking for help; Because of the way this deck is structured it is very fragile in the dependability department, the deck has a solid 50/50 hit or miss ratio on playability due to probability.

If you have any suggestion and/or like the deck please do upvote it, everything helps. :)
