DETHRONE THE KING by Muzuko01

Format: Commander

Commander: Marchesa, the Black Rose

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Grixis list is a sacrifice-attrition/combo deck built around Marchesa, the Black Rose. The primary plan is to put +1/+1 counters on creatures, sacrifice them, and have Marchesa return them next end step for repeated value. The fastest finish is an infinite life-loss loop with Bloodthirsty Conqueror plus Sanguine Bond, Enduring Tenacity, or South Wind Avatar, triggered by combat damage or a drain death. If the combo is late, Blood Artist/Zulaport Cutthroat/Bastion of Remembrance plus Grave Titan/Gisa/Wilhelt tokens grind out the table. There is no hidden commander; Nicol Bolas and Kefka are flexible DFC support rather than the focus.
