Commander: Marchesa, the Black Rose

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Marchesa, the Black Rose is the deck's engine: dethrone puts +1/+1 counters on any creature that attacks the player with the most life, and her triggered ability reanimates those creatures at each end step. The primary plan is to attack with a sac outlet on board, using Marchesa to recur value creatures such as Solemn Simulacrum, Flayer of the Hatebound, and Puppeteer Clique. The secondary path is an infinite loop with a persist creature, Uncivil Unrest's riot counter, and any free sacrifice outlet, draining the table with Blood Artist or milling with Altar of Dementia. Theft effects like Zealous Conscripts and Reins of Power accelerate combat and clear blockers. There is no hidden commander.
