This is Modular "Affinity" Marchesa. I was tired of Esper artifacts so I made a weird aristocrat-like deck where you sac your artifacts with modular at the end of each turn and bring them back. Usually pumping at least one creature in the process. These creatures are usually Triskelion, and Hangarback Walker (with Inkmoth Nexus, Triskelavus, and Blinkmoth Nexus there for kicks). There are quite a few ways to search up these creatures, and a few ways to search up the modular, and sac outlets (Various mages searching for artifacts, and the new talk of the town Scrapyard Recombiner).

This deck is very resilient to removal, and is a pain to disrupt once out. The only current issue is keeping Marchesa on the board with lack of protection, but I'm already over 100 and still need to cut quite a few things (suggestions welcome). Luckily, there are cards like Silverskin Armor, and Thran Forge that can turn her into an artifact and have modular counters put on her (these also can help us abuse non-artifact creature etbs if we have modular creatures and a sac outlet). You can also use the tried and true method of using Unspeakable Symbol and a sac outlet to save her from any removal/bounce.

In testing, this deck is very fun (inconsistent on lands, but with extra cards that is a given), and if anyone has any ideas of what to cut/add I am open to suggestions.
