At heart this deck is a simple pirates deck. Go wide, take lives, snatch things along the way.

Marchesa's purpose here is not to be a degenerate value engine, but rather to give the pirates some resilience in the early game. Don't feel bad for not casting her until the time is right; dethrone can be a great way to buff your creatures in a pinch when an opponent starts to take the upper hand.
