Marchesa, the Black Rose, a perfect little beauty for recycling and almost invulnerable to board wipes. :) Let's break her shall we?

How about making sure dethrone triggers? Pain lands and Unspeakable Symbol

How about making sure I don't get hurt too badly while getting dethrone triggers? Disciple of Griselbrand, Elixir of Immortality, High Market

How about Arcbounds to not lose anything for cycling, as well as getting Solemn Simulacrum multiple times?

How about getting rewarded for "killing" off my guys in board control? Grave Pact, Dictate of Erebos, Butcher of Malakir

How about blowing up whatever I don't like? Flayer of the Hatebound, Deathbringer Thoctar, Triskelion, Triskelavus, Plagued Rusalka

How about stealing it all? Might Makes Right, It That Betrays, Grave Betrayal (yes that brings +1/+1s so I can cycle those too)

How about if it all had haste? Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch

How about lots of draw? Skullclamp, Mindless Automaton, Necropotence, Phyrexian Arena

How about if I could scry to make all those draws optimal? Viscera Seer

How about Grenzo, Dungeon Warden to pull those 0 P/T dudes for free?

How about more mana than I could ever need? Ashnod's Altar, Black Market, Workhorse, Pawn of Ulamog

How about actually using that mana? Killing Wave, Artisan of Kozilek, It That Betrays

How about making Marchesa, the Black Rose indestructible so board wipes don't hurt me at all? Darksteel Plate and Blessing of Leeches

How about a mill option just in case they gain tons of life or something crazy? Altar of Dementia

Damn... guess all the bases are covered. Ouch.
