Seize the Spotlight

Sorcery

Each opponent chooses fame or fortune. For each player who chose fame, gain control of a creature that player controls until end of turn. Untap those creatures and they gain haste until end of turn. For each player who chose fortune, you draw a card and create a Treasure token. (It's a colourless artifact with "{T}, Sacrifice this: Add one mana of any colour.")

NV_1980 on Dragon Deez Nuts Across Yo Face... I'm sorry

Looks like a fun deck! Personally, I'd try to find a way to add Big Score and/or Unexpected Windfall into it. Would probably exchange Stormbreath Dragon for at least one of these, because it's ability is extremely expensive to use and not all that great.

On a related note, you only have five cards in this deck that provide with some extra card advantage (1 wheel and 4 that allow you to top-deck). That will make this deck relatively slow, especially when you're facing decks featuring blue. Some ideas on this front:

• Academy Manufactor: will create Clues whenever you create Treasure, which can be handy in a pinch when you need some more cards in your hand. And since you'll be generating plenty of treasure anyway ...
• Bonders' Enclave/Geier Reach Sanitarium/Mikokoro, Center of the Sea: some of these lands come with the disadvantage that others may draw too, but hey, when you're out of options anyway ...
• Idol of Oblivion: all you need to do is create a treasure, and then this allows you to draw!
• Seize the Spotlight: seems amazingly in-theme for this deck and is a win-win against any opponent.

Aside from the above, I was just wondering why Hellkite Tyrant is not in here. Also seems pretty on-theme for your deck. Anyways, it already looks cool as-is; these are just my two cents. Keep these nice builds coming.

Oof, what a deck. Not my wheelhouse (besides my Dragon's Approach deck) but I'll give it a whirl.

Here's some more removal and other card ideas.

Feed the Swarm

Withering Torment

Untimely Malfunction

Return the Favor I love this one!

Imp's Mischief

Red Elemental Blast and/or Pyroblast. You never know? Or they could be dead draws?

Blasphemous Act

Blasphemous Edict

I love Seize the Spotlight.

Kaya's Ghostform

Toxic Deluge incase you fall behind?

I wonder how Bloodchief Ascension would do in here?

Delayed Blast Fireball

Very cool deck! I've can't recall ever seeing Gut partnered with Popular Entertainer before (seems like she's always hanging around with Agent of the Iron Throne or Inspiring Leader), but I really like it.

The deck seems to be running as you like, so please take these more as "brainstorming ideas" rather than actual suggestions:

• In playtesting, I found I often had a hard time deciding whether to sac' one of our existing creatures for a Skeleton or to leave it ... to help make that decision easier, I might lean a bit more into Treasure tokens and maybe add some Treason effects. Good options incl J. Jonah Jameson, Bloody Betrayal, Seize the Spotlight, Treasure Nabber, and Hijack.
• I was lucky enough to draw Vehicles in a couple playtests and found them REALLY good in the deck (partly as it gives the Goblins with "attack each combat if able" something to do when we don't want them to attack ... but mostly bc sac'ing a Crew member for an attacking Skeleton really ramped up the Power of my attacks). Careening Mine Cart and Hoard Hauler come to mind first, but there are oc a ton of options available ...
• I personally prefer a little more ramp, interaction (incl boardwipes), and protection. If your meta shifts and you find yourself wanting more too, some favorites incl Ruby Medallion, Fire Diamond, Fellwar Stone, Abrade, Blasphemous Act, Chain Reaction, Lightning Greaves, and Swiftfoot Boots.
• I'm not sure if you want more Token generators ... but if so, maybe Legion Warboss, Siege-Gang Lieutenant, or Urabrask's Forge?
• One final thought: I'm a big Skullclamp fan, for almost any deck with X/1s.

Cheers and a big +1 to you!

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.

Last_Laugh on 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.
