Deck overview

Queen Marchesa is a Mardu political pillowfort deck that wins by making opponents attack each other while you profit. The primary plan is to take the monarch with Queen Marchesa, protect yourself with Ghostly Prison, No Mercy, Blind Obedience and fogs, and draw extra cards when opponents attack, cast, or draw. Goad from Kardur, Disrupt Decorum, Alexios and Nelly Borca plus monarch incentives force combat elsewhere. Secondary paths are a single-target nuke with Brash Taunter + Fire Covenant, a late Insurrection steal, and incremental damage from Rite of the Raging Storm, Alexios and The Lord of Pain. Queen Marchesa is a haste draw engine, not a combo piece; Smothering Tithe and Sunforger act as hidden engines for mana and answers.
