Keep yourself untouchable while destroying everyone elses board until you can land a finishing blow. I love how versatile Queen Marchesa decks are and I'm bringing my own unique version that I personally think is fun and works well against the people I play with. Using red for goad and direct player damage, black for creatures and destruction, and white for indestructible and tokens (to use for more indestructible), All three for mass destruction (ruinous ultimatum and crackling doom). With the amount of board wipes and cards like Massacre Girl,Massacre Wurm, and Mob Rule, creature heavy decks will hate you. Game plan is to try and make other players leave you alone (goad, enchantments that cause negative effects if youre attacked or positive if opponents are attacked, and Monarch if someone else has it) and if that fails, there's a few instants and creatures that will help prevent damage and even scare your opponents from attacking you at all. Then once you get to a good board state and hopefully have a way to make your creatures indestructible, bring out the board wipes and swing for a home run. This isn't going to beat super competitive decks as it's not an early win or infinite combo deck (earliest win would probably be around turn 9), but it will be very effective against creature decks or decks of the same caliber, while being fun to play. It's also a super politics deck, with plenty of ways to team up or convince people to not bother you. With so many different ways to win and many different strategies, it's sure to be one of the most fun and refreshing decks to play, while still being very good.

Game winning scenarios: Basically there's two different types of ways to win. If you can control the board with board wipes and indestructible blockers you should be able to keep your health up while beating down the other players. Using a board wipe late game and then just finishing everyone off is the main way to win, but if that doesn't work you can use their power against them. Comeuppance, Deflecting Palm, Mob Rule, or just a mix of goad and Duelist's Heritage can easily be used for an unsuspected big damage win. Earthquake, Dying Wish, and Massacre Wurm can also be used for a lot of direct player damage late game.

Note: I tried to make this semi budget friendly, so I didn't include super expensive lands or any cards above $20. This deck can easily be even better if you have the budget, but please dont ask why I dont have insert expensive card in this deck. I will add better cards slowly over time, but I'll probably keep the deck under $250 personally.

I've already made quite a few changes to the deck and whenever I switch out cards I add them to the maybe section. If you want to be more defensive and use more goad or indestructible creatures, or you want to be more aggresive, you can find cards that work well with this setup in that section.
