Queen Kong by aab00gie

Format: Commander

Commander: Queen Marchesa

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Mardu list is a monarch-control deck built around Queen Marchesa that blends a political "Aikido" game plan with a compact combo finish. The early game deploys efficient value creatures and tax pieces-Esper Sentinel, Tymna the Weaver, Mangara, the Diplomat, Kambal, Consul of Allocation-while the commander establishes the monarchy and provides a hasty, deathtouch attacker. The deck generates massive card and Treasure advantage from combat triggers on Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer, Grim Hireling, and Professional Face-Breaker. The primary wins are two-card infinities: Sword of Feast and Famine with Aggravated Assault for infinite combat steps, or Twinflame with Dualcaster Mage for infinite hasty attackers. These are backed by a Sunforger toolbox, Underworld Breach recursion, and a strong stack-protection suite that lets the deck both control the table and close explosively.
