Making this deck for a new archenemy variant I'm working on. I just set up the rules today so bare with me. If you have any suggestions for the deck, or the variant, please help out. Also if you know of any similar variants and could point me to a link for inspiration thatd be cool too.

So the variant. King of the Hill. Basically the idea is like any other game of magic, win. No difference in how you do it, you just need to be the last one standing.

The way the game works is just like normal EDH (or whatever format you prefer) everyone starts in the same place. Once one player has more life than everyone else however, that player becomes the King. The king has a few perks that come with power. 1.) Firstly, the king immediately becomes the monarch. Whether that changes anything in the game is up to your decks, it's just flavorful. 2.) Second, the king gains control over the arch enemy deck. They use it just like a normal arch enemy game. 3.) Lastly, they get a few upkeep perks, that I like to think of as his tax. They draw an extra card, get a gold token, and gain 2 life.

There are a few other stipulations too. Once a king has been established, the game becomes arch enemy. Everyone against the king. Also if the king at any time loses, or no longer has the most life, the player with the most life becomes king, or the king is set to the side until someone has the most.

Please leave your questions or comments. I'd really like some feedback.

I really think this could be cool. Could incentivise some of those assist cards, could throw some monarch related stuff in the mix, should be fun I think. Let me know what you think.

Now for the deck. I'm gonna be real the deck I didnt put a lot of thought into, I'll change it myself so I'm not super concerned about comments relating to it though I'll happily take them. I actually originally intended this to be a Reaper King Scarecrow tribal with the name King of the Hill but then the name gave me this idea so like, yea. Going for Marchesa instead.
