Queen Marchesa
Oracle Text
Deathtouch, haste
When Queen Marchesa enters, you become the monarch.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if an opponent is the monarch, create a 1/1 black Assassin creature token with deathtouch and haste.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Queen Marchesa is a perfect political value engine for Mardu decks that want to stay ahead in longer games. As a 3/3 with deathtouch and haste, she immediately pressures planeswalkers, discourages blocks, and can swing in right after resolving; just as important, she makes you the monarch on entry, which can rapidly turn into a card-advantage snowball if you can defend the crown. Her upkeep trigger rewards a control-tempo plan: if an opponent steals monarch, you get a deathtouch Assassin token with haste, helping you punish attacks and rebuild board presence at the same time. She pairs especially well with pillow-fort tools, efficient removal, and evasive creatures that can safely protect monarch, such as Ghostly Prison effects or cheap flyers. In deckbuilding, lean into instants and interaction so you can keep the crown while forcing opponents into bad combat decisions; she thrives when the table is slowed down and every attack feels risky.
