So, Marchesa, the Black Rose ...she clearly has potential for some devastating strategies. I used to run her in the usual "sacrifice-shenanigans" fashion and she got the job done just fine, but some time ago I read about someone using her in an Infect deck. Well, that seemed like a pretty good idea so I decided to give it a try, and thus, here we are. The strategy is simple enough, infect damage doesn't reduce life points, which means creatures with Infect will receive the Dethrone bonus every time they attack, as long as Marchesa is on the board. So, the strategy is pretty simple, get to an opponent fast with one or two poison counters, then either Proliferate the heck out of him/her or just keep pounding with Infect creatures. The deck is a bit of a "win fast of won't win at all", so I've added a bunch of counters and other control-type cards.

I haven't looked for combos here, though there may be one or two lying around.
