Marchesa, Dealer of Death primer
Been iterating on [[Marchesa, Dealer of Death]] for months now and finally landed on a build that feels genuinely cohesive rather than “generic Grixis goodstuff + Thoracle”.
The deck plays like a crime-enabled control/combo shell:
- hold up interaction
- commit crimes on opponents’ turns
- use Marchesa as a repeatable card selection engine
- sculpt graveyard-based combo lines while controlling the table
Primary line is Hoarding Broodlord → Saw in Half into Thoracle/Consult, backed up by recursive convergence lines involving Worldgorger Dragon, Underworld Breach and crime-trigger artifacts.
Capable of very fast wins, but not built as glass-cannon turbo — the deck’s strength is that interaction, looting, recursion and combo assembly all feed into each other naturally.
Would genuinely appreciate feedback from anyone willing!
