Many upgrayeddz —Feb. 8, 2017
Swapped out 7 cards or so. Added Altar of Dementia, Crux of Fate, Vandalblast, Yahenni, Undying Partisan, Puppeteer Clique, Deathbringer Thoctar, Blood Tyrant, and Smothering Abomination. I hope I haven't pushed my mana curve up too high.
I also updated the editions of all the cards to be accurate.
Edit: I thought I had a Grim Haruspex but couldn't find it. Then I did. I also found a Willbreaker in my collection. I'd love to add these too but I really gotta mull it over now.
Since you have zealous conscripts, you should add Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker for another infinite combo win condition. I also recommend Necropotence over phyrexian arena to not only manipulate life totals but also better card draw. Feel free to check out my list for more ideas!

Kiki-Jiki is neither budget nor casual, but thanks. I have him in my goblin deck and he draws enough table-hate for all my decks (he'd crush it in my Feldon deck). My group frowns upon infinite combos generally and two-piece combos are even worse. Besides, I don't have as much fun winning like that.
Necropotence, to me, is one of those "famous, popular, structly-better but non-budget" cards I typically never run. I'd replace Greed with it, more likely. Hell, run all four. I hadn't fully appreciated the Marchesa synergy until now, though, so thanks! Consider it on the list for upgrades down the line.

I found a Blood Tyrant in the bargain bin. Seems perfect for Marchesa but I'm not sure what to drop yet. I need to do more playtesting.
