Grixis sacrifice deck, piloted by our blood soaked queen, Marchesa!

She sits on a throne soaked in the gore and bones of enemies and friends alike. The servants who surround her are the remnants of the undead who have perished in the wars fought for her glory and machinations conjured by the insane.

To play the deck you should aim to put counters on your dudes for protection and extra damage. With a few key pieces on the board your creatures will quickly start growing in size and become formidable titans.

I've found this deck is brutal against the standard battle-cruiser type decks but not so effective against combo deck with lots of counter spells that could remove key pieces of the arsenal, assuming they can spot the threat of say Goblin Bombardment

Please feel free to leave feedback and suggestions.
