One game, my opponent wanted to assemble a horde and attack me. Unfortunately, I am the High Queen and attacking the queen is treason. One game, my opponent bragged about having more cards in hand than me. Unfortunately, I am the High Queen and bragging about card advantage is a punishable offense. One game, my opponent attempted to play more lands than me. Unfortunately, that too is not allowable and so they were punished.

With this deck, you essentially act like the meme. Anything your opponents do will be punished. Try to play creatures? Take damage and sac stuff. Try to draw? Take damage. Have to discard? Take damage. Try to attack? Damage. Play lands? Damage. Tap lands? Damage. Don't tap lands? I think you see where this is going... Everything is punishable and the point of the deck is to make every decision your opponents make the wrong decision.

If you prefer combat over control, check out my other Queen Marchesa deck here: The Shiniest Hat
