This is my attempt at a Queen Marchesa Control Deck tailored towards a faster Metagame.

The goal of the deck is to become Monarch and try to keep the crown as long as possible while letting the opponents fight each other. In order to stay alive long enough we need to be especially concerned about the combo players at the table. Try to deny them early accelaration or try to stop them in their turn when they want to go off by destroying one of their combo pieces.

Please feel free to comment and or make suggestions. I am especially looking forward to lower the manacurve even more and I am thinking about additional winoptions.

Thanks for having a look over my list !

Combos and neat Interactions

Auriok Salvagers + Lion's Eye Diamond + Pyrite Spellbomb This combo allows us to end the game if we dont face an opponents interaction.

Armageddon / Cataclysm + Teferi's Protection Blow everything up and hide yourself.

Wheel of Fortune + Alms Collector / Smothering Tithe Insane value that oftens puts you into the right spot to attempt a win.

Changelog

Update September 2020: Updated the List to display the current status of the deck. We are focussing on cheap interaction and ramp. Ideally we can disrupt the opponents while assembling our combo pieces.
