Queen Marchesa is a captivating Legendary Creature card with a casting cost of {1}{R}{W}{B}. This 3/3 Human Assassin possesses several notable abilities, making her a formidable presence in the game.

First and foremost, she has both deathtouch and haste. Deathtouch means that any amount of damage she deals to a creature is considered lethal, making her an expert assassin. Haste allows her to attack or use other abilities immediately after entering the battlefield, wasting no time in asserting her authority.

Additionally, when Queen Marchesa enters the battlefield, you become the monarch. The monarch is a game mechanic that grants its controller the advantage of drawing an extra card at the end of their turn.

Furthermore, if an opponent is the monarch at the beginning of your upkeep, you get to create a 1/1 black Assassin creature token with deathtouch and haste. This token not only carries the theme of assassins but also provides you with additional power on the battlefield.

The artwork by Kieran Yanner beautifully captures the essence of this regal yet deadly ruler.
