[[Marchesa, the Black Rose]], underrated?

[[Marchesa, the Black Rose]], underrated?

I run her in my cube, was wondering why her elo is so bad? She is the second lowest elo card I run only after [[Arwen, Mortal Queen]], which I swere the elo is completly whack wrong on. Is it mainly about the three colour requirement, or do you think there is something that stands out that makes the card itself bad? Ability is strong for what I can tell, and 3/3 at 4 cmc isn't the worst thing in the world (becomes 4/4 upon first attack too, and just keeps growing). Would it be "fixed" by removing the blue requirement? Does it need to be "fixed"?

Might be dumb question but are you supposed to add these minor powers that come with these aspects even when not playing the aspects, or are they uniques that go into the box unless you play those aspects?

Any thoughts on playing the events BEFORE the invader phase for people who are on the fence with them?

I never liked the idea of the events throwing a wrench in your gear when planning a turn, planning out combat and thinking something is safe and then having it be wiped to an event just feels awfull in my opinion. I was wondering if anyone tried using them before the invader phase, so you get the added variety ech turn, but not the surprise factor that they bring. You still have something unique happen each turn, but extremly importantly, you actually get a chance to plan around them. Has anyone tried using them like this? I think it might be a good way to get some use out of them for us players who don't like the unpredictability the events adds (or ease us up to them to then later maybe using them as intended).

Why does this card only have 1185 elo on cubecobra? Am I missing something?? This thing will often be atleast 3 damage (from a creature attacking) and can easily go above it too. It's insant speed too! This card looks a whole lot better than lets say [[arc trail]], which is sorcery speed and also less flexible on how to split the damage and likely lower damage. Arc trail sits at 1349, which makes me think impact should be ATLEAST around 1400+ ?

I know Elo doesn't matter that much but its usually a good indicator of a cards power, and this just seems Waaaaaay off.

Imu probably a pirate before founding the world government, makes it that much more plausible blackbeard will sweep the rug under him and attempt to claim it all for himself, especially cause among all characters, blackbeard probbably carries the will of D, Davy Jones, the most. Black Beard final villain confirmed.
