Glissa, the Infection by user6548043
Format: Commander
Commander: Glissa, the Traitor
Bracket: 3
Deck overview
This is a Golgari Elves midrange deck helmed by Glissa, the Traitor that layers tribal go-wide pressure with infect/poison and -1/-1 counter proliferation. The primary plan develops an Elf swarm behind lords and token makers, then closes with Triumph of the Hordes or incremental poison via infect bodies, Phyresis Outbreak, and proliferate engines. A secondary -1/-1 counter package (Blowfly Infestation, Flourishing Defenses, Crumbling Ashes) converts creature deaths into tokens and drain, while Glissa recycles key artifacts whenever opponents' creatures die. The deck wins through combat infect, poison race, or death-trigger drain rather than a single brittle combo turn. Glissa is a resilient 3-mana threat with first strike and deathtouch who also functions as repeatable artifact recursion, supporting rocks, proliferate pieces, and equipment without being a hard combo piece herself.
