For any fans of Marchesa, the Black Rose

If you didn't know this combo for a Marchesa, the Black Rose, it's useful. Essentially Marchesa, the Black Rose + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed allows for any non-human creature to have a Gift of Immortality type effect. If I'm wrong on this, please tell me why.

Wait, are you asking or telling? You're right, but the end seems like you're not sure.

Not wrong at all on that, but I'm with Epochalyptik seems you're unsure of yourself.

These added with cards like Hamletback Goliath and Flayer of the Hatebound become beautifully destructive and powerful. I LOVE running field wipes in my Marchesa deck.

Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch is great as is anything with Unleash.

I've always though "Slith" creatures would be a fun aggro deck with her

I was a little unsure and wanted to make sure the combo worked.

Also Grave Betrayal so you can potentially take control of their creatures permanently.

There is also, Helium Squirter, Cytoplast Manipulator, and River Kelpie which are all great with marchesa as well.

Grave Betrayal + Marchesa, the Black Rose = funsies.

I loved her from the moment she was spoiled and now run her as a commander.

Unspeakable Symbol has to be one of my favourite cards with Marchesa.
