I have been toying around with Marchesa for about a month now and am desperately trying to stay away from going goodstuff. Currently, I am working with Allies as a tribal theme within the deck. However, I dont love it. I want to play aggressive and apply pressure to my opponents. Having a few "tricks" up my sleeve would be nice as well. Goblins are aggressive enough but, lack the tricks. Wizards have the tricks but lack the aggressiveness. What other tribes have you guys played with success or had fun with?
Also, Zombies aren't an option because I already have a zombie deck.
Rogues tend to care about attacking, often triggering when dealing combat damage. They usually have low mana costs, so you should have a few out by the time Marchesa comes into play.
I really like the idea of the Rogue/Assassin theme
Second this. Use Cards like Royal Assassin and Kiku to keep the board clear and rogues like Wharf Infiltrator, Blighted Agent, and Invisible Stalker with Coastal Piracy, Bident, and Swords to get value off the hits and back up your dudes with counters and R/B spot removal.
You can also run Phage as a sort of trump card with her mega death touch.

Also Conspiracy, because that's what humans do.
I personally have a theme of wizard tribal in my deck, but only two or three cards that care about wizards.
Some cards care about humans.
I always had Oona's Blackguard in the deck. I recently added Gonti, Lord of Luxury and noticed he's also a Rogue. Also, Grenzo, Havoc Raiser. And Thada Adel, Acquisitor.

I made this back when she first came out, fun but not super competitive.
