Reins of Power
Instant
Untap all creatures you control and all creatures target opponent controls. You and that opponent each gain control of all creatures the other controls until end of turn. Those creatures gain haste until end of turn.

Oops! All female! Marchesa

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

Oops! All female! Marchesa

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.

Asmodeus is baaasically griselbrand, right? I was thinking no this subject, and I found a clunky combo with wood elemental. You have a Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth, a Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, and a Kormus Bell. Cast Reins of Power, switching your lands with your opponents lands. Then cast a decent-sized wood elemental, sacrificing all of your opponents lands. Then you get all of your lands back at the end of your turn.

Gay Kings can win through love
1 year ago
Having completed my quest to play all 52 of my decks, I decided to try getting a win with all of my decks
Sep 27
Gay Kings can win through love... And they did. Ramped and got beaten down by Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender before stabilizing with a Blazing Archon. Jesse's -2 of Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge made us each lose about 18 life, killing Josh (Ginger). My Kraum, Ludevic's Opus *f-etch* attacked wearing Empyrial Armor. Will attacked Jesse for 30 and I used Reins of Power to finish him with Will's Selesnya fatties. Will was at six and Valakut Exploration plus Psychosis Crawler was enough to finish him, after a Constant Mists saved my life, raising my losers' record to 7-15

Quick Study is really great, it allows you to keep up mana for your interaction and then draw cards instead if nothing comes up. Opportunity is the same effect as Tidings, but it's an instant. Reins of Power also have a similar effect to Cultural Exchange, but is an instant, so it can double as surprise blockers, a fog effect, removal (blocking with another player's creatures to trade), or simply to get value from other player's value creatures. Trail of Evidence can provide card advantage late game when you need to dig for answers or to sink your mana into. Perilous Research is another instant speed draw two that your commander offsets the downside to, which would allow you to dig for answers and keep up more mana to play those answers in the late game. Also, any card that has "Thirst for" in the name is good in these kinds of decks. I'm not sure if all of these suggestions go together in this deck, but I figured I'd throw them out there for some thought!

I'm not good with mono blue but what comes to mind is:
Echoing Truth can remove creature tokens
Cards like Ever-Watching Threshold and Propaganda could help.
Hope this helps a little.

I think you might be a little light on lands. I'd highly recommend adding Vastwood Fortification Flip as both a land and a way to add counters. I also can't recommend Reins of Power enough. You end up building up your opponents boards with Kros and Reins can be a great finisher in that situation. Though I really enjoy playing my Kros deck, I've only won with it twice (usually I finish second) and both times were due to Reins of Power.
As for card draw, two cards I'm looking to add from Wilds of Eldraine that I think will fit in perfectly to Kros are Hylda of the Icy Crown and Sharae of Numbing Depths. I think the tap effect of Kros is one of my favorite aspects of him and both those cards exploit that.
