Everyone keeps Glissa at arms length... by Runnin

Format: Commander

Commander: Glissa, the Traitor

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Golgari artifact-recursion value deck built around Glissa, the Traitor. The primary game plan is to force opponents' creatures to die - through edicts like Fleshbag Marauder and Accursed Marauder, repeatable removal like Executioner's Capsule, and Glissa's first-strike deathtouch - then convert each death into a returned artifact from the graveyard. Self-mill from Hermit Druid, Stitcher's Supplier, Life from the Loam, and Underrealm Lich stocks the yard for recursion. Wins come from artifact-sacrifice drains via Marionette Master and Marionette Apprentice, a Bolas's Citadel activation, or large combat swings from Cranial Plating, Wight of the Reliquary, and Maha, Its Feathers Night. An alternate grind-win line uses Mindslaver plus Forbidden Orchard to recur a soft lock through Glissa every turn.
