Strategy

The deck "Queen Marchesa" in Commander is known for its political gameplay, focusing on manipulation and control. Queen Marchesa herself encourages managing the board state through her Monarch ability, which allows you to draw cards if you are the Monarch. The deck aims to use cards like Ghostly Prison and Kambal, Consul of Allocation to deter opponents from attacking you, while building up resources with cards like Smothering Tithe and Sol Ring. Good points of the deck include its ability to incentivize opponents to attack each other instead of you, as well as its versatility in responding to threats with cards like Anguished Unmaking and Deflecting Palm. The deck also has a strong mana base with cards like Command Tower and various signets to ensure you can cast your spells efficiently. However, the deck can struggle against aggressive strategies that aim to go wide with creatures quickly, as it relies on controlling the board and playing a more reactive game. It can also be vulnerable to disruption that targets its key pieces, such as removing Queen Marchesa or the Monarch status. Overall, the Queen Marchesa deck offers a unique and engaging playstyle within the Commander format, focusing on politics and manipulation to come out on top.
