The wise always keep an ear open to the whispers of power.

This is my first attempt at Queen Marchesa -- I wanted another deck and had the very I-go-to-a-women's-liberal-arts-college desire to have a female commander, so here we are. I tried designing a very removal-heavy Phage the Untouchable deck, but I wanted something that isn't going to sit back and get murdered.

Based on Queen Marchesa: Politics, Aikido, and Control, which is the first deck on this site I absolutely fell in love with. It's subtle and genius and I wanted something like it.

This deck usually managed to get Solemnity+Delaying Shield, Solemnity+Phyrexian Unlife, or Solitary Confinement+Queen Marchesa out before things got too scary. If not, it was full of responses.

The physical deck shared cards with Tainted With Hunger, Stained With Lies and They wanted to be on the winning side for once. When I built it, I tried to only buy "expensive" cards that would fit into one of those if this didn't go well.
