Thank you for your interest in my auction. I am selling the following item:

A Marchesa, The Black Rose Commander Deck:

  This is a commander deck built around Marchesa, The Black Rose. It is for the Commander/EDH format and includes 100 cards. The Commander/EDH format is a singleton format meaning you can have no more than a single copy of any given card other than basic land in the deck.

  The listing includes a Lightly Played to Near Mint player-made custom deck. The listing also includes a free commander deck box to house the cards. The deck has been sleeved in a set of pro sleeves to protect the cards in the deck. It also comes with a bunch of full art lands and a number of the cards are foil copies. See photos for details.

  The deck’s commander is Marchesa, the Black Rose and the other 99 cards in the deck include powerful creatures with ETB effects or control abilities. The rest of the deck is a blend of card advantage, control, theft, and burn cards.

  Marchesa, the Black Rose brings a unique edge to the battlefield by granting her creatures the powerful ability to return from the grave if they died with a +1/+1 counter, making this deck a resilient and disruptive force in Commander. The decklist provided revolves around stealing opponents' resources, generating card advantage, and pressuring life totals through burn spells and versatile creatures. Here are some strong synergies and win combinations to maximize its potential:

Synergies and Win Conditions

  1. Marchesa + Sacrifice Outlets + Stealing Creatures: Cards like Hostage Taker and Blatant Thievery allow you to steal opponents' creatures, which you can then sacrifice with effects from creatures like Jaya Ballard, Task Mage or spells like Innocent Blood. These creatures return to the battlefield under your control if they had a +1/+1 counter, making it difficult for opponents to reclaim their threats.
  2. Marchesa + Psychosis Crawler + Card Draw: Psychosis Crawler deals damage to each opponent whenever you draw a card. With strong card-draw spells like Overflowing Insight, Compulsive Research, and Pull from Tomorrow, you can deal significant damage across the board. Pairing Psychosis Crawler with Alhammarret's Archive doubles your card draw and life loss for each opponent, creating a powerful combination.
  3. Aetherize + Burn Spells for Control: Cards like Aetherize and Conflagrate provide a way to control opponents’ aggressive strategies while setting them up for lethal burn spells. With Exquisite Firecraft, Urza's Rage, and Incendiary Flow, you can eliminate threats or finish off weakened opponents with direct damage.
  4. Marchesa + Gigantoplasm / Lazav, Dimir Mastermind + +1/+1 Counters: Gigantoplasm and Lazav, Dimir Mastermind can copy powerful creatures and benefit from +1/+1 counters to enable recursion. Paired with Marchesa’s ability, these creatures are difficult to remove permanently, adding pressure and versatility to your strategy.
  5. Treasure Generation + Value Spells: Captain Lannery Storm generates Treasure tokens to help accelerate into big spells like Temporal Trespass, allowing you to take extra turns or ramp into massive spells like Blatant Thievery to turn the game in your favor.

  This Marchesa, the Black Rose Commander deck is a resilient, rogue-inspired build that brings a unique blend of control, card advantage, and cunning tactics to each game. With strategies that capitalize on theft, recursion, and disruptive spells, this deck allows you to manipulate the board, control your opponents' resources, and sustain your own army through Marchesa's powerful ability. Perfect for players who enjoy a more devious and interactive style of gameplay, this deck provides the tools to outlast, outwit, and overwhelm your opponents with unending resources and hard-hitting spells.

  Take control of the battlefield and dominate with the monarch of resilience herself— Marchesa, the Black Rose.

So if you like Grixis decks, control magic, Burn, or stealing things from your opponents then this deck is for you!
