Queen Marchesa Mardu Politics EDH.

We only really have one Win-Con in this deck, and that is Insurrection. We have to wait it out until it arrives, luckily some good old political bullsh*t will get us there. There are many cards which will help stop people from swinging at you. You may have to use some political tactics but you can probably protect yourself from any major attacks. We can take out threats with some removal. My favorite is Darksteel Mutation as it can stop commanders from doing things.

We do have another way to win though, and that is some good old Life Gain/Life Drain. Kambal, Consul of Allocation is the best card for this. You can sit back with Ghostly Prison and Crawlspace protecting you and wait for everyone to slowly die to your slow drain.

We can also gain immense amount of life with both Vow of Duty/Vow of Malice/Vow of Lightning + Vampiric Link/Soul Link. This means that they can't swing at us and also we gain life whenever that creature swings, really good against Voltron decks on their commander.

Vial Smasher the Fierce is a good way to burn people at random, so the people who have been burned have no right to say that you are burning them, it is random.

We generally want to be the Monarch as the extra card draw is practically the only card draw in the deck. But if we are not we can still survive as we are getting some nice deathtouch assasins. Both good for swinging out and good for blocking. But sometimes we want Queen Marchesa to die so she can go back to the command zone. Then we cast her again and become the monarch.
