I love everything about this card.
The inability to go infinite on one turn is a tad lame, but given how easily you could go off, it's probably for the best. I like that it encourages longer games.
It's definitely for the best, no question. Do you know how stupid a general would be who could reliably go infinite the turn you played it? It would a) be incredibly unfun and b) be banned.
I'm a huge fan of political cards, and this one is especially juicy. The only thing holding me back from falling in love with this card is the fact that I'm not particularly fond of Grixis.
I mean, hell, we're all on a forum for something that most people would describe as a "children's card game"...do what makes you happy. You are never too old to enjoy yourself.
How far can a fetchland-and-shockland mana base go for Marchesa in 1-vs-1 and multiplayer formats to keep yourself from having the highest life total? (OK, you might need help from Phyrexian Arena, Dark Confidant, Dismember...)
Unspeakable Symbol is her best friend. It keeps your life low to keep Dethrone active, and it lets you put counters on her or anything else at instnat speed for no mana investment to protect them from removal.

Would have loved her to be a "Rogue. Lots of good Rogues in those colors. I am not a fan of the art. Looks quite messy. But overall great card and I love those effects.

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.
Hmmm, I mean, creatures come back at the beginnign of the next end step, but I can't help but let my mad scientist brew side squee with joy with the thought of Marchesa, the Black Rose and creatures with undying uniting.

Mikaeus can do it but not as reliably as the version of Marchesa that some people seem to want. Same thing with Ghave.
