Commander: Marchesa, the Black Rose

Maybeboard


She looked long at the empty throne, eyes drawn to narrow slits. Anger burned deep inside the raven haired woman but she kept a steely demeanor; today was not the day. Nor tomorrow. Nor the day after. But one day, it would be.


A work in progress, so any and all suggestions are welcome!

I am pretty new to EDH as a rule and while I have played a fair number of games between friends with precons or borrowed decks, none particularly resonated with me. It wasn't until Conspiracy came out that I found a Legendary that spoke to me - Marchesa, the Black Rose. Of course, having no real experience EDH construction I put the project to the side to deal with Standard or Limited since they were much more speed. Long story short I sunk a lot of money into things that never really mattered. Now the plan is to turn that all around!


The primary idea of the deck is to keep my life total middling for as long as possible to get some swings in on the current Throned player (preferably with their own creatures) before saccing them and gaining permanent control due to Marchesa's ability.

There are a couple of 'big, flashy cards' like Scourge of Thrones or Rise of the Dark Realms that are intended as finishers of sorts - if I throw one down I should either have a sizable advantage or am facing down a Rout or something else equally nasty. Exsanguinate is in consideration as not only does it drain from all foes, it can create a solid buffer so we aren't killed off on the proceeding turns, even though it likely sets us up as the player with the highest life and denies us Dethrone.


Please suggest any card you think would help out! Strategy is just as welcome!

Of the cards listed, the ones presently in the deck are intended to complete the 'other 99' but I am perfectly willing to change the whole thing around to make it work better.

I prefer to keep things in the realm of 'budget' for now while I sell/trade my around so huge investments are not in the current plan - I am willing to drop about $50 total on cards I don't have to make up the other 99 with the intent to add on progressively (somewhere between $10-20 a month if necessary) just so I have something to play with in the interim.
