Gisa, Glorious Resurrector
Legendary Creature — Human Wizard
If a creature an opponent controls would die (be put into the graveyard from the battlefield), exile it instead.
At the beginning of your upkeep, put all creature cards exiled with this onto the battlefield under your control. They gain decayed. (A creature with decayed can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at the end of combat.)

Oops! All female! Marchesa
7 months ago
soo exciting. it's the very first recommendation i got on one of my decks :3
First things first:I think I should have given my deck description more love than i did. This one is fully on me. There is a little estethic subtheme I held back beside the theft theme. I try to essemble cards with strong and malicious female characters on it. Some of my card choices might seem suboptimal for this reason. So I'm even more thankful for all your great suggestions, Last_Laugh
- What do I miss on Thran Vigil? I'm pretty sure I'am able to put the +1/+1 counter on the same creature left the graveyard. It's no cast, right?
- Seize the Spotlight I like in particular for it's overtuned draw ability which I can ez justify not to be good-stuff since it looks thieving.
- I really like your advice on Gisa, Glorious Resurrector. wondered if she might be to mean for my playgroup but I''ll reevaluate this 'cos she fits so well.
- Anduril, Narsil Reforged is really interesting too. might consider this.
@wotc: Give Spark Double a female artwork and take all my money from me. and no love for regular-normal-guyish looking cards like Danny Pink.

Oops! All female! Marchesa

Nice deck but I do have a few suggestions for you.
Theft:
Gisa, Glorious Resurrector is far and away the best theft option available to Marchesa.
Captivating Crew is a repeatable theft effect.
Seize the Spotlight will rarely steal creatures... but that means you draw 3 cards essentially for free.
Alternate +1+1 Counter Sources:
Thran Vigil only works on your turn but this thing puts in some serious work if you're aggressively sac'ing stuff. Be aware that your final creature re-entering can't target itself so you need 2+ creatures re-entering for this card to do anything.
Vigean Graftmage looks underwhelming but it can come down before and immediately protect Marchesa and/or it's 2 free sacs per turn (itself + 1 other) to abuse etb's or death triggers (High Society Hunter, Grim Haruspex, Sower of Temptation, etc.)
I guess Spark Double goes here. This card seriously feels custom made for Marchesa. It either copies Marchesa for double Dethrone or it abuses your best etb/death triggers every turn thanks to that automatic +1+1 counter.
Anduril, Narsil Reforged is a bit pricier, but it lets you attack away from the Throne while still getting counters on attack. Drana, Liberator of Malakir is an acceptable alternative thanks to first strike getting those counters before regular combat damage but you do have to get through to an opponent.
Card Draw: Danny Pink is an absolute powerhouse here.
Anyways, let me know if you're picking up what I'm putting down or if you need help suggesting cuts. Feel free to check out my Marchesa list. It's etb/death trigger abuse and I've had the deck built for roughly 10 years now so I'm pretty familiar with all Marchesa's archetypes. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated.

No Budget Black Stax Dream Deck

Maybe add Syr Konrad, the Grim if you're doing discard. My friend uses it, and it's annoying as f***. Same with Lorcan, Warlock Collector. Gisa, Glorious Resurrector isn't as bad, but still bad.
May four flight be swift

Marchesa, the Black Rose
1 year ago
I have several suggestions for you. I'll keep things budget friendly and if you're picking up what I'm putting down, I can also help suggest some cuts.
First off is enchantment removal. There's hardly any options in th5ese colors but I recommend running all 3 so problematic enchantments like Solemnity or Rest in Peace don't wreck your day. Chaos Warp, Feed the Swarm, and Canoptek Tomb Sentinel are all budget friendly and worth their weight in gold here. Another good boardwipe here is Last One Standing.
I don't really do theft in my Marchesa list, but Gisa, Glorious Resurrector is the exception and holy crap does she put in some dirty work.
Next is card draw. Liliana's Standard Bearer, Lethal Scheme, Plumb the Forbidden, and Sage of Fables are all good budget options here. Sage will also come down before Marchesa and immediately give her or any other wizards you run a +1+1 counter. Plumb in response to boardwipes or right before your turn will refill your grip (instant speed and pseudo dodging counterspells makes this card). Also, Danny Pink's price has been sloooowly climbing but it's a very real possibility you'll find one in your LGS dollar binder and omg is this thing absolutely nuts!
On the subject of alternate sources of +1+1 counters... Thran Vigil only works on your turn but it'll get new counters on anything you stole and sac'ed on your turn. Vigean Graftmage let's you sac 2 creatures on everyone's turn (itself + whatever) to abuse etb/death triggers like Gray Merchant of Asphodel or even Grim Haruspex card draw. Spark Double I guess falls into this category and copies either Marchesa for double Dethrone or whatever your meanest etb/death trigger is at the time.
I'm also guessing Rakdos Locket was supposed to be Rakdos Signet.
Feel free to check out my list for ideas. It's far from budget friendly overall but I run everything I recommended. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Every Masochist Needs a Marchesa to Love Them

Burakos's Crew
1 year ago
No prob dnthymamai! Totally understandable regarding the infinite combos; I know they can be polarizing among players. If your playgroup ever changes their mind, I'd recommend adding that combo for sure.
If you're looking for more graveyard/aristocrats hate, I'd recommend:
-
Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet or Gisa, Glorious Resurrector, depending on your budget.
-
Sanctifier en-Vec also provides some additional hate options for colors that utilize their graveyard, and/or use discard to set it up.
-
Scavenger Grounds is another option that can be an easy swap with a land.
-
Calamity's Wake is an instant speed option that can also blank combos and other interaction for that turn.
I think you can probably swap out Changeling Outcast for something else. Since Burakos can fill any role in the party, they have less need for Changelings than Nalia de'Arnise might. Zhentarim Bandit or Preacher of the Schism could be some options for more Treasure support or draw. Preacher as a 2/4 with Deathtouch for 3 mana alone is pretty nice.

Murders and Acquisitions (Marchesa Superiority)

_emphasized text_As far as cuts go, your list is pretty tight. Greater Gargadon and First Day of Class are the 2 that stand out to me. Guardian Beast also, but I feel like it's there for meta reasons.
Kardur, Doomscourge is disgusting.
Gisa, Glorious Resurrector if your meta is remotely creature heavy.
Yawgmoth, Thran Physician is amazing here.
