Flesh Duplicate
Creature — Shapeshifter Rebel
You may have Flesh Duplicate enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield, except it has vanishing 3 if that creature doesn't have vanishing. (That permanent enters the battlefield with three time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter from it. When the last is removed, sacrifice it.)

Grixis Marchesa, The Black Rose

Nice deck, I love me some etb/death trigger abuse Marchesa. I do have some suggestions for you though and I'll break it down by card function.
Finisher:
Gray Merchant of Asphodel's lifegain seems counterproductive but with alternate sources of +1+1 counters your life total doesn't matter. In 9 years of running Marchesa, Gary has ended more games than any other card here and it's not remotely close. I personally recommend a clone suite to sac when he enters so they all reenter as Garys (Phantasmal Image, Flesh Duplicate, and Phyrexian Metamorph). Note that Imperial Recruiter abuse will look up Gary, Clones, and Bloodletter of Aclazotz in one go around the table.
Jokulhaups is a bit of a dick move, but it will end games since all your creatures come back to an empty board.
Alternate +1+1 Counters:
Anduril, Narsil Reforged is on attack and even gets counters on your fresh non-attacking stuff.
Mikaeus, the Unhallowed lets you abuse all your non-humans and he enables some infinite combos with Persist creatures.
Vigean Graftmage looks underwhelming but he comes down before and immediately protects Marchesa and he let's you abuse any etb/death trigger on everyone's turn (itself + 1 other).
Thran Vigil is only on your turn but this card still puts in serious work.
Metallic Mimic doesn't need a tribal deck here. When it first comes down you name humans or wizards to immediately protect Marchesa but you sac it to rename the type to your most abuseable etb/death trigger as needed.
Protection:
Ripples of Potential is a great answer to non-destroy wraths including Farewell.
Removal:
Canoptek Tomb Sentinel will hit anything non-land but most importantly it's an abuseable effect that hits enchantments.
Feel free to check out my list for ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated (especially since it'd be upvote #200). Every Masochist Needs a Marchesa to Love Them

Flesh Duplicate & Phyrexian Metamorph would fit in pretty well. Lesser known older tech like Dominate & Empress Galina could be tasty too.
