The main point of the deck is exploiting Marchesa's ability to make your creatures virtually unkillable (not permanently at least), allowing you to sacrfice them for value or throwing them at your opponent's face in combat. The deck is actually pretty versatile, being able to switch from aggro to midrange-control pretty well through the use of recurring haste creatures, tutors and a pretty good removal package. Another good element in the deck is stealing your opponent's creatures and sacrificing them after putting a +1/+1 counter on them in order to return them to your control until they are removed. Key cards are Sage of Fables, which grants protection to most of our creatures and also allows an 'infinite' damage combo with Ashnod's Altar and Flayer of the Hatebound and an infinite reanimator combo with Puppeteer Clique and any sac-outlet; also good are Exava and Thrill-kill Assassin, since they are pretty much unkillable with Marchesa in play, who go very well with Falkenrath Aristocrat, allowing you to grow it every turn (including your opponent's).
