About this deck

Control the board, then raid every graveyard at the table. Marchesa, Dealer of Death and Tinybones keep the cards flowing and the graveyards full. Counter the threats that matter, mill your opponents, then reanimate the best creatures from anyone's graveyard and clean up the game.

How it plays

Marchesa, Dealer of Death: Whenever you commit a crime, you may pay 1. If you do, look at the top two cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the other into your graveyard. (Targeting opponents, anything they control, and/or cards in their graveyards is a crime.)
