Queen Marchesa doesn't like to be a monarch anymore, take her crown!

Advanced Description

This deck plays politics, creates tokens, and wear down your opponents. Queen Marchesa and Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs, Darien, King of Kjeldor, all make me want to be attacked. Assault Suit, Benevolent Offering, Crown of Doom, Varchild's War-Riders, Tempt with Vengeance and Wall of Shards all offer political ways to encourage people swinging at me with a 1/1 token. If getting attacked get's out of hand there are a host of life gain options such as Soul's Attendant, Soul Warden, Suture Priest, Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, Riot Control, Island Sanctuary (the ONLY prison card in this deck), Grenzo, Havoc Raiser, Fumiko the Lowblood, Aurification, Hundred-Handed One and so many more.

Chaos. I like being attacked hut making everyone else attack each other is also.. nice. Rite of the Raging Storm, Crown of Doom, Grenzo, Havoc Raiser, the curses, and Akroan Horse all do this amazingly well. Not to mention fighting over the Monarchy!

Keywords are fun! Odric, Lunarch Marshal copies them, Archetype of Aggression, Archetype of Courage, Archetype of Finality, and Ankle Shanker make key words ridiculous.

Removal is wonderful, but spot removal is inefficient and a wrath kills what I want to stay on the board, and I can't say "I'll kill your creature, while the rest of us attack you". Cue Goblin Diplomats, Warstorm Surge, Electropotence, Burning Anger, Magus of the Arena, Goblin Sharpshooter, Brawl, and Arena all act as removal with 1/1 assassins with deathtouch.

Utility is something I wanted with this build, my favourite utilities are the words cycle, this deck includes Words of War, Words of Waste and Words of Worship, all allowing constant utility effects for anytime I would draw a card, and this deck has plenty f draw effects.

Often the tokens in this deck can simply get out of hand, even without cards such as Dictate of Heliod Odric, Master Tactician, Adriana, Captain of the Guard (very... wrong flavour wise), Iroas, God of Victory, and Tree of Perdition simply end games.

This deck was heavily influenced by Courting attack, Isperia Supreme Judge, a great deck that gave me the tools to make a "Take MY crown" deck.
