An oldschool 'Battlecruiser' style deck that doesn't want to have the synergy that decks usually want to have but instead tries to utilize some of my favourite creatures from magics silver age combined with fitting modern cards and reanimation. Marchesa helps with card advantage combined with the smaller but flying creatures and provokes aggressive gameplay that gets people into dangerous life ranges from which we can knock them out.

The queen and her diplomats will try to control aggression early on and if the enemy keeps resisting she can unleash some naughty boys and girls to take over the game in various ways.

One of the more unconvential finishers is Yosei that was mainly included because it's one of my pet cards but it turned out to be quite deadly, especially with Feldon it breaks up boardstalls in a really effective manner.
