theNeroTurtle, they could cast stuff in response, but anything they dont use will be emptied out of their pool when mana short resolves. They would of course, still need stuff to cast at instant speed. Its essentially a lesser version of Silence, but in monoblue. I could even cast it during upkeep/draw to screw someone out of a turn

I love the idea of making a simple deck for younger players. I would recommend taking out a few Tims and add some cheaper effects like Opt or a better enchantment target like Invisible Stalker. The deck will run better if it has less 3 CMC cards and instead has some cheaper effects to get to that turn 3. Hope he enjoys it!

Thank you for help. Leonin Lightscribe was my next change plan. Ideas not related to the maybe board are welcome. Cuz maybe board is basically a collection of random cards, not all of which are even currently available. So, I need upgrade this deck for more power play (or maybe for current meta in my playgroup)

Just a heads up, but Solphim wouldn't double Gray Merchant because it's considered loss of life, not damage. Bloodletter of Aclazotz is the sort of effect needed and I'm pretty sure that effect is unique.
Np on the help, I've piloted Marchesa for a decade now so I'm always excited to see a new build. I don't run a theft Marchesa, it's set up more to end things with Gray Merchant. Every Masochist Needs a Marchesa to Love Them for reference.
DashJovis1 on Mono-Blue Control

I found the card because it's a 2 of in Mono-Blue Terror, and I fell in love. I immediately wanted to play it with Memory Lapse, and it resulted in this. The lack of blue sweepers, particularly in Pauper, hurts the deck a little vs aggressive matchups, but it seems pretty competent. Probably the Clear the Mind could be a threat of some kind, such as Tolarian Terror or Dirgur Island Dragon, especially if you're going into an event and need to present a win-condition within a time limit, but I think recycling the deck is actually stronger if you're not playing into time.

Last_Laugh, I appreciate all of your suggestions!! I have seen almost every one of these cards too but have yet to add them to the main deck or the maybeboard yet haha.
I do really like the idea of replacing Disciple of Bolas with Liliana's Standard Bearer though. :)
I've also been scaling back on the theft cards a bit lately though and just trying more value creatures on Enters/Death, but just last week I had a game that ended with a Mass Mutiny and took control of an opponent's Solphim, Mayhem Dominus and followed it up with Gray Merchant of Asphodel to win so that was cool :D

Rasaru Not been to a game shop in a while. I did play this deck about 2 months ago as a one off, Thrumming Stone is mostly a dead card, and it whiffs far too often. I'll probably just put a Sol Ring in its place. Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation Flip takes a while to get on the battlefield, best case scenario is usually turn 4. Not a deal breaker, just something worth considering if you play EDH with a bigger focus on your commander.

As far as I know there's not a card in standard you can't get in both arena and paper. Origin of Spider-Man and Skyward Spider have different names and art from Arena due to licensing.
Anyways, have you considered any combination of Enduring Innocence and Slumbering Keepguard? Both of these can help you get to your pieces sooner. Also, you may want to consider either Ghostly Dancers to be able to reuse your exiling enchantments or Rest in Peace to shut down your opponents' graveyard interactions.
I hope this helps. Happy Hunting!

Last_Laugh on Oops! All female! Marchesa
2 weeks ago
Ok, I totally spaced the all female part... whoops.
I guess my problem with Domineering Will is it doesn't provide haste to the stolen creatures like most theft effects, so getting the +1+1 counters can be inconsistent because you're not doing it via combat w/o a haste enabler.
ermd on Oops! All female! Marchesa
2 weeks ago
I really like how thoughtful you drive into the matter. nice recommendations. agree on most of them.
Here is my unreasonable "but". They mostly miss my "female art" restriction for creature cards. E.g. that's why cards like SL Pitiless Plunderer did replace Mahadi, Emporium Master once.
Cormela, Glamour Thief is 4cmc and probably not good enough. She havn't had any chance to do anything yet thou. I'm totally on this one. But she's also dearly beloved. Can't get rid of her for now but I keep an eye on her.
Domineering Will is hot. no timing restriction. The creatures I steal just have to be non-attacking at the moment this spell resolves. simply attack afterwards. It always did way more than I could have asked for.
Sad Robot and Reins of Power might be good cuts. May- be Cormela too
Last_Laugh on Thieves of the Black Rose

Unspeakable Symbol is an amazing card here. Just don't proactively add a +1+1 counter to every creature or this card looks like a stinker real quick. Only use it in response to removal or to loop specific etb/death triggers on everyone's turns.
Gev, Scaled Scorch is another alternate source of +1+1 counters that I've had really good results with so far. Your opponents will trigger this frequently.
Gisa, Glorious Resurrector is theft plus the sac outlet in one to make that theft permanent.
Liliana's Standard Bearer and High-Society Hunter are 2 good draw engines I run here that are budget friendly.
I'd also try to make room for the other 2 Talismans and 2 Signets.

theNeroTurtle, thanks for the suggestion! With Augusta out, at least 2 creatures could be made unblockable with him each attack. Also he's a dwarf so there's synergy if Magda, Brazen Outlaw is out.
Any thoughts on what I could remove to include him?
Last_Laugh on Oops! All female! Marchesa

Also consider dropping 2 lands, Mind Stone, Bloodflow Connisuer, Wayfarer Bauble, and Sword of the Animist for your Talisman of Creativity, all Rakdos Signet, Izzet Signet, Dimir Signet, Viscera Seer, and Carrion Feeder.
theNeroTurtle on Death knights tribute

I like it a lot. The idea is great. I know that you are focused on budget, but your cmc is way too high and you have a lot of high cmc stuff that could/should get replaced with mana ramp if you want to pop off that commander combo fast enough
Last_Laugh on Oops! All female! Marchesa
2 weeks ago
You are also correct, having too many 4 drops can be pretty awkward here so I'll help suggest a few cuts and lower cmc replacements.
Solemn Simulacrum - could be pretty much anything else. Satoru, the Infiltrator is one of the best draw engines Marchesa has ever seen.
Cormela, Glamour Thief - seems out of place. Gev, Scaled Scorch is another alternative source of +1+1 counters that I've had good results with so far.
Pitiless Plunderer - is probably the card I'm most tentative to suggest cutting. I was personally happier with Mahadi, Emporium Master coming down a turn earlier but have ultimately cut both personally.
Disciple of Bolas - Liliana's Standard Bearer is 1 mana cheaper, has flash, and will draw as many cards typically.
Domineering Will - is a cool card but not really the timing you're looking for since you get no window to attack, get a +1+1 counter on it, and make that theft permanent. Grim Haruspex is a possible replacement.
Reins of Power - You trade Marchesa as part of this swap so you can't make this theft permanent. Vigean Graftmage comes down before Marchesa, can immediately protect her with a +1+1 counter, and enables 2 sacrifices (itself +1 other) each turn for etb/death trigger abuse.

TheoryCrafter on Feather, the Redeemed

Here are the cards I would recommend replacing:
Myth Realized -> Leonin Lightscribe: I wouldn't put MR in a deck unless it was a Saga deck where I can move lore counters with Nesting Grounds so I could retrigger the chapters. Between your Commander and numerous creatures to pump up other creatures, I don't think MR is necessary.
Rile -> Maximum Velocity: Rile is the kind of card you put in a deck where a high number of creatures have the enrage mechanic like Ranging Raptors. Not to mention casting Rile on Mirrorwing Dragon or Zada, Herdron Grinder at the worst time could cause you to boardwipe yourself. Maximum Velocity has the ability to be reused.
Storm Kiln Artist -> Anax and Cymede: A&C has the advantage of bulking up other creatures as well as itself. You may lose out on the treasure tokens, but unless your planning to add Hellkite Tyrant at a later date, your deck already has a pretty close to 50/50 on red and white Mana costs.
Knight with the White Orchid -> Chromatic Lantern: costs generic mana to and 1 less to cast.
Talisman of Conviction -> Thought Vessel: losing the colored mana, but gaining a backup plan for unlimited hand sizes in case someone hits you with Blood Moon or Harbinger of the Seas.
I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. If are interested in ideas not related to the maybe board let me know. Happy Hunting!

Mana Short is brutal. I have never seen that card. However, can't they just empty the pool in response by adding something to the stack? It is brutal, like I said, but seems like it would just get responded to by tapping and using mana.
