This is my take on Marchesa, the Black Rose, which I find one of the best commanders for blink/ETB effects, yet there is no deck on EDH REC with blink theme and Marchesa (05072020).

Marchesa can provide ETB effects constantly, and with right set up you don't even have to attack with your creatures. Keeping counters on and your life total down is also important.

Playing this deck is a lot of fun. There are so many creatures with good ETB that it's very hard to pick the team to your deck, so I still have around 20 crits in maybeboard (after reading every crit with ETB in Grixis on Gatherer).

Try this out. Comments are welcome, please only skip upgrades like Demonic tutor instead of Diabolic tutor, I have my limits:)
