Ouch Queen by RCG

Format: Commander

Commander: Queen Marchesa

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Queen Marchesa heads a Mardu attrition-control shell built on the monarch, courts, and pillow-fort effects. The primary plan is to seize the monarchy with the commander or a Court, tax attacks with Ghostly Prison/Windborn Muse/Crawlspace, and convert the resulting card advantage into life-loss pressure. It wins through the Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood loop seeded by Exsanguinate or Court of Ire, with X-spells or Aetherflux Reservoir as backup. Secondary paths are hasty creature attacks from Courts, commander damage from Marchesa/Alexios, or Revel in Riches. Marchesa is not the finisher; she provides early monarch, deathtouch defense, and token generation when opponents contest the crown. No hidden commander.
