Marchesa, Dealer of Death — Crime Boss of Thunder Junction
Marchesa, Dealer of Death is a control oriented legendary creature that rewards an aggressive play around the crime mechanic. As a Human Rogue with a 3/4 body for three colored mana, she sits comfortably in the midgame and turns every committed crime into a selection engine. When you commit a crime you may pay {1}. If you do, you get to dig two cards and keep one while the other goes to the graveyard, which meshes cleanly with graveyard synergies and discard triggers common in Outlaws of Thunder Junction.
Use Marchesa to sculpt your draws while fueling reanimation targets or graveyard interaction. She is best paired with repeatable crime enablers and efficient discard outlets. The card reads like a steady advantage engine rather than an all in combo piece so she fits many archetypes. A small touch of setting lore: she runs the back rooms and the docks, trading favors for information and keeping her ledger balanced in secrets and bodies.
