So I thought briefly about going deep on unleash and the Arcbound guys, but that build seemed awful. This one is a nice balance of aggro and control but may be short a sacrifice outlet or two, we'll see. Also, I'm looking to try to get at least [c]Grave Pact[/c], [c]Dictate of Erebos[/c], and [c]Attrition[/c] into the list, and I'm not sure what I want to cut for them - probably mostly non-creatures so I can keep the creature count up for Marchesa.

What about Murderous Redcap and Triskelion? You're already playing Mike and a bunch of sacrifice outlets, so you might as well go deep.

Simic Fluxmage seems like it could be decent too - it grows it's own counters and lets you mess around with where they go.

Anathemancer seemed interesting to me in a Marchesa deck. Normally it's not really worth it as a 2 shot quasi-Price of Progress, but I think that if you can get a counter on it the damage will add up pretty quickly...especially if there are lots of multicolored decks in your meta.
