Loved the idea of Marchesa, and wanted to find a way to abuse her abilities as much as possible. Going with a somewhat heavy infect route, as infect will not change life totals, and allow dethrone to work again and again. There are also some cards to let infect damage go through as direct damage to the player, such as Soul's Fire, Warstorm Surge , Rage Forger , Pandemonium and Flame Fusillade ....one minor thing for pandemonium is to make sure you don't play it too early or someone will likely kill you and/or your stuff with your own enchantment. That card is playing with fire, so follow the basic rules of know what you are doing, and do it often....

Some sacrifice outlets combined with enter the battlefield triggers for shennanigans.

AnThere are some haste creators, like Fervor and Hammer of Purphoros which meld nicely with the deck.

Any ideas for improvement?
