The poison that Wesley was immune to could either be Moonglove Extract or Vial of Poison.

Dread pirate Roberts: Fathom Fleet Cutthroat or Fathom Fleet Captain or Hostage Taker and Dire Fleet Poisoner could represent the time Wesley spent as the pirate.

The boat Wesley uses might be Fell Flagship or Sleek Schooner or Shadowed Caravel. The boat the princess is kidnapped in could be Smuggler's Copter or Dusk Legion Dreadnought.

Shrieking eel: Shriekmaw or a Slipstream Eel equipped with Fireshrieker.

Dying Wish could represent the scene where Buttercup pushes Wesley down the hill and he yells "as you wish!"

Their battle "to the pain" could be Pain's Reward or Painful Quandary or Decree of Pain.

Gearhead93 on First deck you Built

My first ever brew was a G/B deathtouch deck. I knew I wanted a G/B deck because I liked the physical look of the colors together. The start of the deck came from buying 60 green and 60 black cards off ebay, random lots (yes really, I had no clue what I was doing). You better believe I had those 1/1s for 1 with deathtouch from Sedge Scorpion to Typhoid Rats to Pharika's Chosen. It also had some okay to good cards like Deadly Recluse, Hornet Nest, and Hornet Queen. At one point I actually had Vial of Poison in the deck because I had some creatures without deathtouch. It was awful and I still have it, slightly altered but not for any competitive format. I keep it around for nostalgia now and occasionally break it out for casual games.

Vial of Poison has some good synergy with Salvaging Station and can provide some political influence.

If this is mostly casual, some stuff like Hunt the Hunter/Setessan Tactics/Ulvenwald Tracker might perform well, Hankyu,Heavy Arbalest, Livewire Lash, Mortarpod, Shuriken, Surestrike Trident and Wolfhunter's Quiver all exist, as does Brass Squire, Basilisk Collar, Gorgon Flail, Gorgon's Head,Vial of Poison which I know has been used for Brigid, Hero of Kinsbaile edh.

If this is a more competitive legacy meta, Animate Land for land destruction might be an option as a dumb one-off deck.

All told, good luck and have fun testing! If you're looking for something particular just say.

Mimic Vat: Attack with an avenger, they block, you use Vial of Poison on their blocking creature. Then you have a continual plant token generator. Also Vinelasher Kudzu is great. Then have some bounce lands and you can potentially have continual +1/+1 counters each turn. Also Hardened Scales is nice, or Primal Vigor but its slower unless you ramp into it.

I would make the deck revolve more around Marchesa, protecting her via shroud/hexproof while abusing the Dethrone ability to make unblockable creatures bigger and bigger. (basically, I would go more aggro...)

Flavor-wise: Bite of the Black Rose, Vial of Poison, Crown of Doom (fits with Dethrone and it can't come back to you), Whispersilk Cloak (Marchesa loves the touch of whispersilk)

Stab them in the back: Benthic Infiltrator, Deathcult Rogue, Dimir Infiltrator, Invisible Stalker, Latch Seeker, Mindmelter, Neurok Invisimancer, Shadowmage Infiltrator, True-Name Nemesis, Stronghold Overseer (<3)

Potentially useful creatures: Mardu Shadowspear (annoying), Flesh Carver (sac outlet and more), Blind Zealot, Shadowborn Demon.

I could find some use/space for: Marchesa's Smuggler, Lazav, Dimir Mastermind, Indulgent Tormentor, Defiler of Souls, Prince of Thralls, Merciless Executioner, Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis, Olivia Voldaren($$$)

UGH: Butcher of Malakir, Grave Pact, Dictate of Erebos

Unleash!: Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch, Carnival Hellsteed

Sac Outlets: Demonmail Hauberk/Grafted Wargear, Barrage of Expendables, Blazing Hellhound, Culling Dais, Bloodthrone Vampire, Vampiric Rites, Tymaret, the Murder King

Marchesa + sacrifice enabler +: Act of Treason, Threaten, Traitorous Blood, Word of Seizing, Conquering Manticore, Dominus of Fealty, Harness by Force, Mass Mutiny, Molten Primordial (it even has a crown!), Zealous Conscripts, Slave of Bolas, Soul Ransom

Draw Engines: Staff of Nin, Greed (remember dethrone won't work if you are the one with most life), Read the Bones, Sign in Blood, Bloodgift Demon

Removal: Murder, Syphon Flesh, Killing Wave, Innocent Blood, Bone Splinters

Extras: Glaring Spotlight, Invisibility/Aqueous Form, Teleportal, Rakdos Riteknife, Reign of the Pit, Soulblast (finisher?), Ring of Xathrid, Treacherous Urge, Jinxed Idol

Chaos: Rite of the Raging Storm, Whims of the Fates
