My Reign is a Cruel One - Marchesa Burn

Commander / EDH Burn Casual Group Slug RBW (Mardu)

Silents


A deck designed around burning out the whole board at once.

The negative synergy between Marchesa, Assemble the Legion, etc and Pestilence/Pyrohemia is mitigated by Zulaport Cutthroat. Despite being an aggressive deck, it also requires solid defenses due to the monarchy being extremely useful for card draw. As such, we need tokens for chump blockers, propagandas to stop go-wide, and sufficient instant speed spot removal for that one Timmy in my playgroup who plays a Gisela, Blade of Goldnight deck so we don't immediately die to a 6/6 double strike haste Gisela or whatever nonsense he tries to pull.

Lots of damage doublers, some one sided. Unfortunately, there aren't that many good cheap tutors relevant to what we're doing, so Diabolic will have to do for now.

Oh, and Lightning Bolt. Because Angrath's Marauders, Gisela, Furnace of Rath, and Dictate of the Twin Gods combined produces the legendary #FourtyEightDamageBolt. Also it's just a bit underrated in this format in my opinion.
