Marchesa, the Black Rose, partnered with Sneak Attack!

This mamma jamma is aggressive, cheating heavy hitters into play with Sneak Attack and Etali, Primal Storm. There are a couple tutors to find the cheaters and a ton of card draw to dig for the cheaters.

+1+1 counters synergies grows my attackers and recurs them with each of Marchesa’s abilities. There’s a focus on flying evasion as well, to get damage through.

This deck is NOT focused on stealing creatures from other players. People have more fun getting hit in the face than getting their stuff stolen (as it turns out)...

Let me know what you think!
