marchesa 2 for single buy poroises by user7076691

Format: Commander

Commander: Queen Marchesa

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Queen Marchesa is the engine and pressure piece: her haste lets her seize the crown immediately, and her upkeep Assassin tokens punish opponents who take it. The primary plan is to hold the monarchy for extra draws while assembling an instant-speed infinite loop with Dualcaster Mage and Saw in Half, with Blood Artist or another drain payoff converting each death into lethal damage. If the combo is not found, the deck pivots to token generation and aristocrat drain from Courts, Assemble the Legion, and Syr Konrad. There is no double-faced commander; Starscream is a support card. This is a Mardu monarch control/aristocrat build.
