Thanks! And as soon as I saw her I knew I had to do something, but I couldn't decide what; Vampires, Undying, or par for the course with Grixis control! So I just kind of went down the middle of everything, and did my best. I'm planning to refine it after I get some games in, but I want a large amount of data, so it might be a while before anything major happens.

I love that quote so much. I haven't looked too much into the new generals, but I feel like I might need to after this haha. Though I think some vampires will be absolutely perfect for this (such as Blood Tyrant), I don't know if vampires are totally the way to go...we'll see. I think mostly Undying, things that deal with creatures entering the battlefield, or other things that deal with creatures having +1/+1 counters is the way to go. Flayer of the Hatebound sounds like a good idea to me =]

As with any grixis colored EDH I must suggest Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, Grixis Charm, and Unscythe.

I also think Oona's Blackguard would be amazing.

Finally, Soul Conduit (I think that's it) could be interesting. It would let you switch around who you want to "dethrone" at any given time.

That's all I can think of for now. Hope it helps =]

Surprisingly I started writing a poem about Marchesa after putting the connection between the Vampire style mechanic, and Undying. That would be the start of it.
I didn't really get too much from the others, but the Black Rose cards really stood out to me flavorwise, and as EDH cards.
I really have to disagree though, I honestly think Vampires will be more the way to go. Undying is great and all, but there's too few creatures to make that the primary focus, though it should be noted that Geralf's Messenger is absolutely absurd with Marchesa. Flayer of the Hatebound hadn't even crossed my mind, oh how delightfully evil that is!

Oona's Blackguard should always be paired with Bitterblossom, and should have been an automatic inclusion for this. >_> Maybe I focused a little too much on the new stuff.

Soul Conduit is kind of a hilarious way to do that, and I have no doubt that it would be potent, but I wonder if that will suffer the same fate as Survival of the Fittest. Maintaining a good balance of power while concealing threat could potentially become all but impossible.

P.S. Have removed Curse package for tweaks based on above thoughts.
