Maybeboard


The buzz for Marchesa seemed to be for a sort of token/stax style deck. I decided to try and make her a more traditional control-style general, using some general hate/removal effects to hold off the board while making use of her steady card advantage and the abundance of tutor effects in her colors.

Wincons: Restoration Angel + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker; Worldgorger Dragon + Sunscorched Desert/Piranha Marsh

Creature beats has also been surprisingly effective, especially with Elesh Norn out.

In terms of good cards from Aether Revolt, Marchesa got nothing. Even Paradox Engine can't find a place in this list. The release of Breya has also cast a damper on this particular strategy, as she offers an additional color, as well as far better alternative to a Comet Storm win with Worldgorger. That being said, I still think there's tremendous value in having a source of card advantage in the Command Zone, so I'm going to continue to attempt to refine and tune Marchesa in the hopes of sculpting a nice, if perhaps niche, combo build of her.
