So this a Queen Marchesa deck, mostly focussed on enchantments, especially if they create tokens. I usually try to stuff way too much into each Commander deck, and this one especially was very difficult. Queen Marchesa is just so versatile. A Monarch theme comes to mind first, then some kind of politics deck with "will of the counsel" type of cards. I also really considered curses as the theme, which shone through a little in the Enchantress theme of now. The final theme I considered was something of a extra combat/combat tricks type of deck, think of cards like Moonhold, Master Warcraft and Brutal Hordechief. So eventually I settled on the theme of having Queen Marchesa command an army through enchaments she weaves. I do very much want to build a Queen Marchesa Monarch deck (or maybe a Jared Carthalion, True Heir deck?) and also a Queen Marchesa Curses deck (although Ghen, Arcanum Weaver would probably be better suited for such a deck). The main goal of this deck is to accrue value through the token generators and overwhelm our opponents, having enough removal and boardwipes to outlast our opponents.

So after having actually played this deck multiple times I've found out that it is actually quite the slow deck as most enchantments only make a single token each turn, which you then might need to chump block with, so keeping them on the field and accruing a critical mass is difficult. For this I suggest taking out more of the targeted removal like Anguished Unmaking, Bedevil, Crackling Doom, Mortify and/or Swords to Plowshares (Mogis, God of Slaughter also makes a good candidate to cut) for more boardwipes. As your creatures are generated by enchanments, you don't lose nearly as much value wiping the board as your opponents, given that you don't blow up your enchantments. Cards I recommend adding are March of Souls, Austere Command, Black Sun's Zenith, The Meathook Massacre, Hallowed Burial and/or Fumigate.
