This was the final build of my Marchessa deck before converting it to a much more artifact-heavy strategy in an effort to utilize highly efficient +1/+1 counter enablers such as Arcbound Ravager.

A solid midrange grixis deck, with some good recursion even outside of Marchessa herself, and some cheeky synergies like Sage of Fables and Arcane Adaptation. With the potential to steal wins from nowhere with Sneak Attack and Bearer of the Heavens, she was a formidable deck at the table, and will not be missed anytime soon.
