Marchesa, the Grand Creature thief. She has no limits on servitude for her. It's eternal, bound through death and beyond.

General concept is to take control of an opponent's creature through temporary (or permanent) means, attack with dethrone to gain the cursed counter, and then sacrifice them to seal the deal. They return back under your control as if they always belonged there.

Marchesa, the Black Rose also provide great protection to your creatures as they have to be double tapped to stay dead. There is no escape from her enslavement.

Typically she plays a strong midrange. At the end, it is hard to rely on the dethrone to place counters on your creature (since you are winning too hard). That's where you have to rely on the other means of creature control to finish them off. Overall, she is a very mean deck that has a positive win ratio. She can struggle if they focus Marchesa early and continual keeping her out before you can amass an army.
