First I want to know if Marchesa is the best way to handle this. If it is, I'd like to know about other cards that could help make this a force to be reckoned with.
How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
Can't believe I didn't think of Tainted Strike myself. Greven, Predator Captain and Malignus would also work with a bunch of other things too. I'm working on finding things to make the creatures unblockable, but should I invest in Trample effects as well, or would that spread the deck too thin?
Those are good for getting damage through, but what creatures are there that have... like... devastating attack or combat damage triggers? There's the eldrazi annihilators, maybe Hellkite Tyrant for an alternate win-con, uh... Soul Seizer?
Depends on your budget.
My go-to Eldrazi is Pathrazer of Ulamog as it has built in evasion, hits hard and A-3. Bane of Bala Ged is a good fallback/redundancy.
Otherwise:
Actually, now that I think about it... Is Marchesa, the Black Rose the best commander for this deck? I'm starting to think that, since I'm going to be cheating creatures out then dropping them into the graveyard, Sedris, the Traitor King would be a decent fit for getting them out of there. He might be more expensive, but he can start doing stuff as soon as he gets onto the field (so long as there are creatures in the graveyard, which there should be), whereas everything only works with Marchesa if she's on the battlefield when other creatures are attacking AND when they die.
I've got a few ideas already, like Blightsteel Colossus, Blighted Agent coupled with Hatred, and Master of Cruelties coupled with any creature with Ninjutsu. Depending on how many or how few ETB effects there are, I might even include Phage the Untouchable and Torpor Orb.

Any and all help is appreciated.
Maybe you can also use malignus
Blue is the color of flying, so you have access to Levitation and Archetype of Imagination
Red is also the color of “cannot block” abilities like Tectonic Rift and Bedlam.

Creatures with battle cry, myriad, dethrone, that new blue commander creature that makes opponents creatures 1/1s,
