About This Deck

I created this deck with a $100 budget in mind. When building this, I wanted to see if I could make a decent pillow fortish Queen Marchesa deck and this is what I was able to come up with. Some better cards could've been placed in the deck but this is a decent starting place. Below I include additions that can be made to this deck. This is by no means perfect so if anyone has budget suggestions for this deck, please do leave a comment and let me know! I want those who want to create a budget version of Queen Marchesa to be able to see that it is possible to create this deck for around $100.

Upgrades

The following is cards in the range of $1 to $10. I tried to keep most of these recommendations on the cheaper end since this is a budget deck.
