Creature (4)

Marchesa the Black Rose - grixis queen of recursion. Nothing short of exiling a creature will prevent her from resurrecting it, so obviously she fulfills my want of a commander that enables aristocrats without copious token spam.

Also Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God is here because I think he's funny.

Judith in the maybeboard because I needed to cut chaff for lands and she didn't make the cut.

Removed most treasure synergy as I am planning to do a dedicated treasure deck. Added some mild jank in the form of Scroll of Fate and Abhorrent Oculus - Marchesa's ability only cares that things start as creatures with a +1/+1 on them - meaning you can use the indirect method of manifesting, applying counter, then forcibly killing to cheat any permeant onto the field. Additionally Evereth from Foundations Jumpstart can be used as an "oh crap" button against stuff like Final Judgement, Heartless Conscription, and Merciless Eviction - though sadly can't get around Farewell as that can and will exile your graveyard. If something that would exile all your creatures or return them all to hand comes into play, simply sacrifice all of your creatures to Evereth's ability since it has no activating cost and as long as they had counters they'll be back by end step.

Have you heard the tragedy of Darth Evereth the wise?

Ironic, she could save others from death, but not herself.
