I'm glad you love the deck elliotmward97!! I've had her for many years and I love her dearly. I even love Marchesa enough to have a five-color "Secret Marchesa" deck: Special Snowflakes. My playgroup ranges from precons and upgraded precons to "powerful casual" and this deck seems to hang with their stronger decks very well. It's certainly not cEDH, nor would I really want it to be. One of the reasons I kept the Threaten subtheme going string from it's budget days.
As far as "very little" card draw...
Bloodtracker, Braids, Arisen Nightmare, Grim Haruspex, River Kelpie, Sage of Fables, Scorn-Blade Berserker, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Phyrexian Arena, Jeska's Will, Syphon Mind, and Skullclamp are all card draw. That's eleven.
Phyrexian Reclamation is big-time card advantage if my goons keep getting whacked, Viscera Seer is decent card selection when the engine is running, and the non-Treaten theft cards could even be viewed as card-advantage if you squint (looping Thalakos Deceiver and Puppeteer Clique and Keiga, the Tide Star, Zara, Renegade Recruiter getting lucky a few times, Grave Betrayal sticking, etc).
Actually seems above-average to me, elliotmward97.
Perhaps it's light in more pure Concentrate- and Tidings-style draw, but I like the creature-based draw that synergizes with Marchesa. Makes the deck feel like it has more character, and the ceiling is quite high when the engine is rolling. Lower floor, perhaps. I've thought about including more draw effects like Bident of Thassa, Reconnaissance Mission, and Coastal Piracy since the deck swings out so much, but I like where things are right now.

Hey ya'll,
Here's the deck I'm building: Blue Control
It's mono-blue control deck and curious to hear how I can improve it. It's centered around stealing creatures and permanents from the other players from a safe distance. I'm not set on the current commander, Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, but I like the idea of allowing my clones to pop back in as better creatures on the field as they come in. It also allows for creatures I obtain via attachments to permanently become mine (unless I misunderstand the rules). For instance, if I use her effect on a creature I'm controlling with Control Magic, it pops back in without the enchantment under my control for good, right? At the same time, it could backfire, since I must exile a creature, and might force a clone creature to come back in as something else if the originally cloned creature is no longer on the battlefield.
And so, other commanders I'm considering are Thassa, God of the Sea, Keiga, the Tide Star, and Sakashima the Impostor.
Thoughts?

Rite of Replication is fun, but its really fun with Keiga, the Tide Star where you just take 5 creatures

Hi NV_1980,
I klicked through some of your decks and this one got me. I generally like the idea of stealing stuff. And i never thought about copying Keiga, the Tide Star will give you a death trigger, thats sweet!
Here some ideas:
- Sudden Substitution can be gamechanging and has many options to use
- Steal Enchantment only 2 cmc for a Smothering Tithe, Omniscience or a God-Commander
- Pongify and/or Rapid Hybridization is in my opinion a must-have in mono blue
Did you play this deck some times? I think it could have a lack of impact. When a player loses, you lose his creatures aswell. You have to rebuilt and steal other stuff...Winning could be really hard with this deck and it is depending on your opponent. If you play against eldrazis, GREAT! But if you play vs token/land/control/...-decks, you dont have stuff to steal.
I think this deck needs a Plan B...but I dont have an idea yet

My favorite card to copy/token is Keiga, the Tide Star. All but one dies and you steal everything.

This is a really good build you have put together here, my buddy Xxere is building something similar. Cards like Rite of Replication and Keiga, the Tide Star can really sweep for game. Love that you included Glaring Spotlight because that can be so choice in matchups. Good luck!

So to answer your question from the Advertise thread, the deck itself doesn't seem to be the problem. Your amount of ramp and interaction looks fine, and it's kind of hard to not play enough value cards in blue.
As seamonsters tend to be massive, maybe you really are getting ganged up on. To prevent this, Propaganda and Dissipation Field might be useful.
Krothuss itself is pretty small. Maybe include some ways to make it unblockable or protected. Whispersilk Cloak seems useful here, and Key to the City is especially cool here, as it helps you set up the transformation on curve and then helps Krothus get through.
Tidespout Tyrant would be a great addition in the fatty department. It's similar to hullbreaker horror, although it's not a seamonster. You could also try Cyclone Summoner as an additional boardwipe. Keiga, the Tide Star and Kokusho, the Evening Star are always great copy targets. And Wormhole Serpent does multiple things the deck wants.

Update for my deck Ruin Crab , Junk Winder , and Deadwood Treefolk are out and Keiga, the Tide Star , Prowling Serpopard and Scavenging Ooze are in. Keiga as you said is to good. Prowling is just an amazing and Ooze is my graveyard hate.
