Well, I'm kinda bummed that this was spoiled just after I snagged a Judge foil Demonic Tutor for my deck. Five is insanely more than two, but being repeatable is solid.

T3 drop Mindslicer, T4 Sidisi exploits Mindslicer. Everyone discards except you tutor Necropotence HAHAHA :)) Will find room in the deck for this Zombie Naga :))

I was thinking about Mindslicer recently too to give another 4 cmc utility slot to help with control. Def finding a slot for both now.

I continue to look at her, and I see she has wonderful potential, and I have even considered this combo myself since I recently got a mind slicer (Though i originally misread it and thought it was everyone but me discards their hands, oh well ). My only problem is that I would want her to be easily accessible. I've built my deck to be a balance of control and offense, with the ability to transfigure or transmute in CMC 3 and 4. Most of the 1,2,5,6,and 7 drops are cards either I happily draw in to, sort with Lim-dul's vault, or keep from my opening hand. So while I see the potential for the combo above, I also don't see myself doing it by maybe once every 10-15 games or so. I don't have a reliable way to tutor anything that isn't a CMC3 or 4. Rune Scarred helps, but he also needs a lot to get put out. I'm considering finding the money and room to put in a few actual tutor cards, like demonic tutor and more like it.
I honestly find more use out of Dragonlord Silumgar, since he flies, has death touch, decent stats, and lets me steal something my opponent may be quite fond of.
I see her as another sneak attack tutor. Ill find some sort of slot for her. So far nothing else has caught my eye. Mindslicer was in the original iteration of my draft of the deck. It;s kind of fallen to the wayside for me.

I run sower because its a wizard and it steals at 4 cmc with 2 power. It meets all the criteria for being tutorable in the deck, and I would suggest getting that over silumgar for the extra couple bucks.

Oh, thanks captain obvious I'll grab one for sure when I have the chance. I just recently converted my BUG deck to something new and Marchesa took the back seat for a while. Have you gotten Dark COnfidant out turn 2?

Why don't you play Arcbound Ravager? If I understand correctly, it's allow u to put a counter on one of your creatures on your and every other player turn. It can give Marchesa the defense she need when she enters the battle field, or defend any other creature in instant speed. Not as good as Unspeakable Symbol, but still good. If u clone it, attack with both to get counters and then sac both, it gives u 5 counters for Sage of Hours infinite turns combo. And it's a free sac for your artifacts.
Modular only affects artifact creatures unfortunately.
Stupid me should had read the card properly.
Did u tried Geralf's Mindcrusher? He's very expensive (6), but can get your graveyard full very fast, 15 cards first turn and another 10 every other player turn.
And what about Cryptborn Horror? You can sac it if someone else was hit hard to get him big, and he can be used to double Flayer effect or get preysizer dragon bigger. You can't protect him by sac though, if no one lost life that turn.
Both are pretty sub par in my opinion. I never actively fill my graveyard besides using entomb for anger. I find that running her for straight reanimator isnt as good as say, karador. I prefer making my slots flexible answers and play it like a tempo/aggro deck.

Seconding Rune. You don't really need to fill your GY. Marchesa's ability is incredibly unique in it makes boardwiping and non exile removal nearly useless so long as you can keep pressing the attack and spending your life. Reanimation is as always, a great effect. But here, it's more about pouring every creature into the board rather than trying to find a way to reanimate something big. The discard and reanimation effects should just be more creatures to extend your toolbox or offensive power. Sneak Attack does exactly what reanimating does in theory- brings out a big creature for cheap. Of course this is normally for one swing and thus not nearly as powerful as bringing a creature back, but with Marchesa they come back. So you get to attack right away, and if its an ETB creature you get 2 procs of its ability. (FIrst etb and the return at end step). Devastating with Scourge of the Throne and a clone
Marchesa can be great on a budget, I would start small, find what you feel is the best style(aggro, tempo, control, midrange, combo) and slowly get the pieces that fit your strengths as a player. She is great in many archetypes, so she is really flexible. Look at my list, and just pick up as much of the cheap stuff out of it, and fill in the blanks. Hope that helps!

I absolutely love this deck style! Any advice for someone thinking of setting off and building this thing? (:
One of the cheapest, but amazingly (for me) hard to find cards for this deck is Fleshwrither! Using him and a few other original Ravnica Transmute cards for CMC 3 and 4 make the deck very versatile. I run my deck almost exclusively on CMC 3 and 4 so as to make everything available in a pinch.

As much as I love supporting local LGS's I had to order the more obscure things. I'm not about to root through a dozen 5k count uncommon boxes for a fleshwrither or unspeakable symbol.
