I got a bit tired of my Inalla-deck and decided to finally give Marchesa, the Black Rose a chance.

I want to have a quite aggressive build where I attack and hopefully get back the creatures that dies in combat.

I also want to be able to steal the most annoying creatures on the board. Doing that the red way will allow me to steal, untap and attack with haste. Hopefully I will have a sac outlet to sac the creature to get it back under my control in the next end step with Marchesa.

One thing I need to make use of Marchesa is to lose life so that I have an opponent with higher or tied life total. Some haste will also be good to put a +1/+1 counter on the creature the same turn as I play it. I can also do that with graft.
