Marchesa, Queen of Sway

Deck is always under construction

Intro

Queen Marchesa is an open build commander that promotes drawing into answers and creating 1/1’s "answers" when someone steals the Monarchy. Monarchy is one of the best mechanics in EDH, promoting combat and politics. You WANT to lose the Monarchy each turn, keep Marchesa on the board, and reap the benefit of a 1/1 Haste, Deathtouch each pass. You also WANT to regain the Monarchy each turn.

Combat

You need to break through the opponent's line, each turn, to regain the Monarchy. A 1/1 Haste, Deathtouch usually does the trick. Why not benefit off the guaranteed combat you're comitting to.

I wish Marchesa had an activated Goad ability or the assassin token ability was Eminence and tracked Monarch even when she was in the Command zone.

Man, I gouge this deck whenever I revisit it. The biggest goal atm is for everything to have mad synergy. I usually avoid finisher spells so the idea is to give/receive tons of tokens, have an all out war where everyone is forced to attack and eventually someone wins.
