Queen Marchesa, Legendary creature — human assassin, designed by Kieran Yanner first released in Aug, 2016 in the set Conspiracy: Take the Crown and was printed exactly in 10 different ways.
A deck that focuses on controlling the board and generating value through the monarch mechanic would benefit from including Queen Marchesa. This card is particularly strong in multiplayer formats where becoming the monarch can provide a significant advantage. While there may be other cards that offer similar effects, Queen Marchesa's ability to consistently generate Assassin tokens and maintain the monarch status makes her a strong choice for decks looking to establish dominance and control the game.

Being the monarch carries two inherent triggered abilities. “At the beginning of the monarch’s end step, that player draws a card” and “Whenever a creature deals combat damage to the monarch, its controller becomes the monarch.”

If the triggered ability that causes the monarch to draw a card goes on the stack, and a different player becomes the monarch before that ability resolves, the first player will still draw the card.

The last ability of Queen Marchesa (long may she reign) checks to see if an opponent is the monarch as your upkeep begins. If no opponent is the monarch, Queen Marchesa’s (long may she reign) ability won’t trigger at all. Queen Marchesa’s (long may she reign) ability will also check to see if an opponent is the monarch as it tries to resolve. If no opponent is the monarch at that time, Queen Marchesa’s (long may she reign) ability will have no effect.
